[Elecraft] K3 Noise Blanker (was K3 Plasma TV and other non OTjunque)

[Jim Cox]

The logical cure for line noise is to notify the power distributor in the 
area and ask them to locate the noise and eliminate it.   I have had good 
luck in this regard especially if you take the time to narrow the noise to 
specific poles, etc.
If you get little feedback from them, contact the FCC.   Its a slow process 
sometimes but the RFI from power lines can be cured.   I have had to involve 
the power distributor at every QTH during my years of Amateur Radio and had 
very good luck getting a quiet QTH  which involved power line interference; 
much easier than having to deal with neighbor's devices..
