Don, Gary and the group,

Wayne's earlier comments about the noise blanker working better turns out to be 
an understatement to say the least.  Not only has the clarity of signals 
improved by being able to tailor the onset of the SW AGC to start at a higher 
level and clean up many of the artifacts that created problems before, but it 
also allows the IF noise blanker as well as the DSP noise blanker to work more 
like most people's concept of what a noise blanker should be able to do and now 
does it with FAR less distortion to the desired signals.  This includes using 
heavy blanking with strong signals close in.  

I've now been able to eliminate some stubborn power line interference that has 
been plaguing me for a couple of weeks and due to recent tornado damage a few 
miles South of me, the power company has not had time to find and cure it yet.  
They've been busy replacing the temporary lines & poles they used to get 
everyone back on line as quickly as they could after the storm.

Now that they are on the right track, I'll bet there will be quite a few more 
improvements to come.
