NOTHING removes ALL noise. The K3 can pretty much nail key clicks. It also completely kills whatever my neighbor beyond my neighbor does in cold weather that I can see all the way up to VHF analog TV. I'll take those two and smile about anything else only moderately reduced.
I note at one point some had complained they couldn't eliminate some of the (Chinese?) jamming signals. I would note that those signals were specifically DESIGNED to resist elimination. 73, Guy. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ron Midwin" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Cc: "Bruce Fleming" <[email protected]>; "JOHN LAWRENCE" <[email protected]>; "Frank Meredith" <[email protected]>; "Bob Pack" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, March 21, 2009 2:41 PM Subject: [Elecraft] (no subject) > Hi Steve, > > > > I actually have a 746 Pro and also noticed the noise blanker's > ineffectiveness. > > > > I used my K-3 for a month without getting around to trying the noise > blanker.
