[Elecraft] [K2] NB question re: pulse noise problem here
Thanks to those of you who responded with various suggestions. I'm going to go ahead and order the KNB2 and see if that does the job. I suspect the noise might be coming from a nearby medical facility (hospice) and being transmitted down the power lines. Even if the NB doesn't solve this "pulse' problem it may still be needed some time or other.

Ron It's a very inexpensive option. I'd try it. I have it in both my K2s and it works just fine on some noises and not on others. Even the K3 has this problem though.

[Elecraft] [K2] NB question re: pulse noise problem here
On the 40M band only I'm getting an S7 pulse noise during much of the day making 40M nearly unusable. Most nights I don't hear it but last night it was just as bad as during the day. The pulse's are approx. 30hz and short in duration. My antenna is a vertical (my only option here). I would like to know if you think the K2 Noise Blanker option might block these pulses. I'm doubtful but if anyone thinks it might I'll get it asap. Other than this pulse noise I don't have any unusual noise noise issues.
