[Elecraft] K3 - noise blanker works fine

[Bruce McLaughlin]

Not only is the noise blanker outstanding but the noise reduction also works
extremely well.  It can significantly reduce the noise without major
alterations in the audio unlike most other such circuits I have seen in
other radios which either don't do much of anything or butcher the audio to
the point where it is unrecognizable and not copyable.  I think Elecraft
really nailed these problems with the software which is probably the major
reason why both tools works so well.

My two cents..
I find that I run in T1-7 for a lot of the power line noise I hear on 2
meters. Absolute fantastic job at removing the noise and not degrading the
weak signal that is normally received on SSB nets 300-400 miles out. Every
once in a while I engage the DSP NB on the first or second setting to remove
some stranger noise.
I would also vote that the K3 is the best transceiver I've ever owned at
removing various types of noise you find across the band. 
What a great tool!
