Noise Blanking:  On the website, under K4 FAQ - Performance Differences, it says "In a direct-sampling radio like the K4, the DSP can “see” a wider bandwidth in its signal chain, allowing it to provide higher-performance noise reduction, noise blanking…”  Can you quantify the improvement of the K4 over the K3S regarding noise reduction and noise blanking?

This is in-progress DSP code, so full characterization is pending. For example, there will be a completely new NR algorithm available.

The K4 will be similar to the K3 in sensitivity. Again, we're still finalizing hardware and will provide full specs once available.
