Tom, I find the noise blanker on the K3 to be extremely good. I have been plagued with power line noise for years at my QTH, and the K3 is the first rig I've owned that can knock it out. It takes a bit of tweaking, and for reasons I don't understand the power line noise on Tuesday night might require a different setting than the power line noise on Monday night. During the Geminids meteor shower last month I had some strange impulse noise that would have wiped me out with my previous rigs. With the K3's noise blanker I was able to carefully remove it without destroying the weak-signal capability and worked a pile of stations on 6m meteor scatter.
Try one out--you'll love it! 73 Eric WD6DBM ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
