You'll find that sometimes you need to turn on the preamp for the noise blanker to "do its stuff" even though the noise sounds VERY loud! I've not dug inside to see what's happening to the signal levels but on 80 meters there are a couple of lamp dimmers that can blow the cans off of my head <G>. Turning on the NB at either level does nothing, but add the preamp and the noise disappears.

(Yoda, Starwars VII). Tested the noisblanker rubbing a screwdriver across the first RF amp Q21. Yep, makes a difference. Now waiting for a nice thunderstorm or some static rain :-) Thanks all. Okay, what's next? Ah yes, the DSP module... 73, Arie PA3A _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
