I've just moved out of a town where the past several months I had severe
noise that I wasn't sure just what its source was.  The K3's noise
blankers allowed me to continue operating even though some nights it
really put those blankers to the test.  One is a "normal" type of IF
blanker and the other is incororated into the DSP.  Each will be
effective on a different sort of noise and sometimes better results will
be found with each enabled or separately.

I've yet to get a wire up at the present QTH but so far things should be
much better than I endured in town.
