[Elecraft] Noise Blanker Problems

[Amateur Radio Operator N5GE]

I don't think I've ever had a rig that didn't cause SOME noticeable distortion
when used with SSB, but then 88% of my lifetime QSO's have been in CW Mode.

Using the lowest settings possible is a good way to reduce the distortion, but
it won't completely go away, since it works by chopping out the noise it is
blanking (even on CW).
