[South Florida DX Association] Re: [VHF] IC 7000 noise blanker question

[John Geiger (NE0P)]

I agree with this, as the NB in the FT100D is one of a kind.  Best I have ever seen.  Wish they could put one like it in every radio.  The NB in the TS2000 is pretty good also, but still behind the FT100D.
