[Yaesu] Re: Effective Noise Blankers

John,

Noise blankers have been a concern of my for many years.  I have found that
late model Kenwoods have superior NB's.  I have used  TS-120,450,850, and
presently a TS-2000 and they appear to get progressively better.  I have
compared my TS-2000 to my IC-706,  FT-847 and FT-100 in mobile use and find
the 2000 much superior.  The FT-100 and IC-706 have very poor NB, in my
opinion, as compared to Kenwood rigs.
