[Elecraft] [K3] Noise Blanker Observations?

[Ignacy]

>From time to time I have a very strong powerline or other impulse noise or
noises. K3 sometimes takes care of it sometimes not. I general, I have a
feeling that NB is IC-7000 is a bit better although K3 does well with some
types of noise that IC7000 cannot bite with the DSP NB. 

NB takes care of short impulse noises from a single location very well. When
the noise is from multiple locations or of a very complex type, NB does not
do much. In such a case, a device like MFJ-1026 does wonders; you will need
a second antenna.
