I remember that in the 1950-60s, hams sought more sensitivity in their rcvrs. That "solved," then later
the chase changed into a search for greater selectivity. Thus INRAD and roofing filters, passband tuning and notches. Now in our rf poluted world, we seek noise limitations and control. The IC-775DSP for example, has a noise function designed just for the Russian Woodpecker. That thankfully gone, now we want a limiter on all that other noise. 73 Charles Harpole [EMAIL PROTECTED] > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To: [email protected] > Date: Tue, 19 Aug 2008 00:40:40 -0700 > Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 noise blanker > > On Sun, 17 Aug 2008 21:30:26 +0100, Stephen Prior wrote: > >>The NB is, it seems to me, no better than many others I have used >>(eg TS-850) and the NR does not seem, to me at least, to be any better >>than that on the TS-480 this K3 replaced. > > That's not surprising, and I'm not complaining -- I'm just not declaring it > equivalent to the second coming.
