[Elecraft] Noise Blanker Problems

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Not here Geoff, but I can't really tell. I assume there will be distortion
any time one goes "whacking great holes" in the spectrum of a signal to
blank noise pulses, and that will vary widely based on the strength of the
signal, presence of nearby signals and many other factors. 

IIRC the exact nature of the process based on the settings for the NB in the
K3 has changed from firmware rev to firmware rev too.

Dave,

It's also my impression that the DSP noise blanker introduces more 
distortion on SSB signals in Firmware 4.22 than in previous firmware. I 
haven't rolled back to a previous version to check it out like you have but 
I will next week.

Anyone else notice this?
