If you are talking about SSB on 80 and 40 - I was playing with trying to
copy
the K2M on 40 M SSB last nite thru all the qrn - something to play with
is the SSB bandwidth and shifting the band- it makes a lot of difference
depending on how the guy has his audio tailored or how his voice is.
You also have a lot of AGC handles to play with - last night reducing
slope and playing with threshold made significant differences at times.
I don't think there is any magic bullet - conditions change and what works
one time or at one location will be different another time. What works for
one person . one location is very unlikely to be the solution at another
place.
I used TenTec Orions for about 10 years - they had an incredible NB for
clean line noise spikes BUT BUT if there were any strong signals anywhere
near (25 -50 khz or more) where you were listening , the blanker
was useless -but absolutely great on a quiet band.
I have never found a K3 line noise NB setting as good as the ORION BUT BUT
I can get decent blanking in crowded band conditions -- I will take that any
day over
unusable incredible . Years ago Collins used to drive their blanker with a
separate
noise RX at about 40 mhz - often wished the Orion did that .
NR is a whole different story - I have already been thru ten years of NR
discussions,
in my case for me NR F1-1 is as good as anything I have used on either CW
or SSB
but that is for me - a top flight contester friend across town with Orion
and K3
to A/B and who lives in a 10 dB quieter location has entirely different
opinions.
What works for him is entirely different for me.
NO MAGIC BULLET.
My two cents worth .

I am hoping someone out there has come up with a magic bullet setting (or
even a workable setting) that can be shared. This has been a summer with
loads of lightning static.
