[ICOM] Icom noise blanker

[Bill NY9H]

With the NB only in the dsp, If the nasty stuff is very loud, won't 
it swamp out the front before the dsp can get to it ????

I notice the Orion  is using analog NB before the NR in DSP.
However I have no experience with NB in DSP only.

I still believe that Inoue could have done better with the NB.. in 
the 756 , P2 & P3 I have now.  I say that while awaiting 10 months of 
ComEd visiots and promises.

The latest "reason" for delay, " ran out of the parts needed"...
to FIX the five poles 1400' away while provide S6-S9.. on 20 ( yes w/pre on)
