[Elecraft] K3S Noise Blanker

[Russ]

Marvin:

I just love my K3, but I also have been unable to find a setting for the noise blanker that works as well as the one in my Kenwood TS-480. The noise blanker does have some effect on impulse noise or AC hash in some settings, but also then introduces audible distortion.

This is in no way a negative post - just looking for guidance.

Subject: [Elecraft] K3S Noise Blanker

I have a K3S that was new in January of this year. I am very impressed with the radio and its' receiver. Compared to previously owned Yaesu FT1000D, 75A4, KWM-2, S-Line, Drake twins, it has the best receiver by far of the whole bunch. I do have a problem/complain in that the Noise Blanker has absolutely no effect on noise as far as I can tell. The only way I can tell the noise blanker is working is that if I turn the setting to high is seems to squelch (poor description) the received signal. Noise reduction works as I would expect. The noise blanker certainly does not work as well as some other receivers or even the Clear Speaker by West Mountain.

 

Anyone else have this problem?
