[Kenwood] TS570- no blanker action

[William R Colbert]

My last posting to Kenwood apparently got read
and the response came today.  As some had indicated
the blanker in the TS570 is for pulse type noise only,
and this is what Kenwood also said.  No workee in
power line situations.

Thanks to all who responded.  Below is the bulk of
the Kenwood reply minus the shipping and warranty
and hourly rate info.
