Mike AB3AP asked: Can anyone recommend a way to test my new K2 noise blanker? My antenna (260' long dipole) is nearly 200' behind the house, so I'm thinking of loosening feedline connector & turning on a hair dryer nearby. Maybe even use a short random wire antenna for the rx test. Any better suggestions?
------------------- If you've got a cheap lamp dimmer around that produces a huge buzz when it's set somewhere between full on and off, the NB should kill all that noise very nicely. The hair dryer might do it if it's commutator noise that it generates. The NB is designed to eliminate repetitive, high-amplitude, short duration pulses such as those (and those generated by unshielded auto ignitions).
