What ever type of powerline noise I have at my home qth,
My Kenwood TS-450's noise blanker eliminates it totally.
The noise blanker in my K2 is totally ineffective on it.

There have been other noises that the K2's NB has been able to quieten, but that 
is of no help with my powerline noise problem.

P.S. Yes the power company has tried to find and fix it, so far no luck.
They will be back at it in a few months, when I call them again. The Noise id 
temperature sensitive, when the sun heats something up it kicks in, when the 
night cools down it stops. Moving is not an option.
P.P.S. Yes I have tried locating it, off the ends, with a rotateable dipole, no joy.
P.P.S.S. Yes I have used an MFJ-1026 phasing unit, again no joy.
