Subject: Re: [drakelist] TR7 NB
There are Drake noise blankers and then all the rest. I agree on the
NB-7. This also applies to the noise blankers used in the TR-4 series
including the TR-6 and the R-4C, SPR-4 receivers. Although the R-4B has
a decent noise blanker, it is nowhere near as effective as the ones
just mentioned. All are very similar in design if not IF frequency.
However, I must say the noise blankers in the Yaesu FT-920 and FT-100mp
mkV are also very effiective. The only drawback in the Yaesu rigs is
the front end filter is a bit wide and limits the effectiveness of the
blankers due to strong adjacent signals. Like you, I am severely
limited by noise at my QTH. One of the things that helps with a single
source of noise is the ANC-4 now manufactured by Timewave. My "noise"
antenna is usually a Hustler 6-BTV mounted on the ground in my back
yard. It can be tricky to adjust however. Another solution is the use
of a beam antenna. It turns out a north-east pattern is pretty good
from 20m! - 10m. The types of noise I get are many and range from
defective street lights, electrical appliances in the various homes
around me (touch lamps being the worse), and line noise. I've also had
problems with in-home burglar alarms. One of those was kind of fun as I
told the home owner I knew when he wasn't home :-) That got fixed in a
hurry! It seems that whenever I track down one source and get it fixed,
another appears to take its place! I'm not ready to give up yet.

I have both, and can also tell you that dare you question the qulaity
of the K2
NB on the Elecraft list, you will not get much information that will
help you
m ake a valid decission.
One of the things that really disappoints me is the NB in the K2...it
is such
that I can hardly get on the air anymorer because of the various
types of QRN
present in this old city.
