Well, thanks to all for the many noise blanker comments. I guess I must be in a fortunate location. On 3 acres, surrounded by trees, no power lines (elec is underground) and no farmers within a half mile with any electric fences. Station is very well grounded. I always heard hams brag on the Drake NB's over the years, and have'nt thought much about them until discussion on the newer noise limiters came up. Hope the discussion and comments were usefull to many! 73's, David ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 11, 2007 4:02 PM Subject: Re: [drakelist] Noise Blanker discussion
The comments on the TR4_/R4_ blanker also apply to the TR7_/R7_ blanker: great for pulse noise, ineffectual for atmospherics. The TR7 blanker was designed during the days of the Russian Woodpecker and was amazingly effective against it. The best classic rig for noise control I've used was the Atlas 350XL; had a blanker for impulse noise and a limiter for atmospherics (at least that's my recollection; haven't used one since switching to the TR7 twenty some years ago, hi). 73 Lee WB6SSW ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
