I don't have any but several of my neighbors do. I told them my problem
and asked if they would mind if I just ran their fence line and fixed
whatever I found every now and then. All welcomed me. The problem is
almost always an arc to the T-post, a tree trunk, a tall weed that has
grown up under the wire, and the like.

I gotta chime in here. I have an electric fence. It is put up correctly, and it
does pop on the radio. It is nice though that the K3 noise blanker either
eliminates it or at least reduces it to a manageable level...usually depends on the
Yep. One of the fences is over a mile long, and even though it is
installed well and I've been its entire length and it is clear of arcs
and bad splices, I can still hear it weakly. Ordinarily, the current
drawn from the charger on a pulse is miniscule ... it's just a voltage
pulse. I suspect that the long fence exhibits enough capacitance that
it actually does draw current from the charger on each pulse, and Pwr =
Voltage X Current. The K3 NB gets rid of all of it.
