I built my K2 #54xx in May 06. Built the KNB2 Noise Blanker. Then found it never really seemed to work on any noise! One day, 4 cement trucks & 2 large pickups sat like 30 feet from my shack - all running, all working. The KNB2 did nothing to remove any of that man-made noise. Also it doesn't work on any band noise - that I ever found. I even got a 2nd KNB2, from Elecraft - and it didn't work either?
The K2 itself - after build - operated true to all specs, calibrations, & alignments beautifully. I've since felt, the KNB2 is a design job left to be re-done, by some Elecraft designer, when they get around to it. The IC-7000's Noise Reduction and Noise Blanker circuitry - amazingly almost always reduces most band noises, real or imaginary, dramatically. Maybe in the K3?
