K2 Noise Blanker performance

Ken Kopp
I finished K2 #5665 a few weeks ago and have read the
discussions about how well the K2NB does or doesn't work.  

I'm in an RV on a bluff on the Oregon Coast and we've just
had a thunder storm (with hail) pass over.  The tip of the
screwdriver antenna's whip produced a few minutes of  strong
precipitation static, similar to ignition noise that the noise blanker
TOTALLY eleminated.  

It was a good test for the K2's NB ... for this kind of noise, at
least ... and it worked GREAT!

I just installed one in my K2. I tested it by turning on a light
dimmer switch on the other side of the house which generates an S5
noise level on 80m. The K2NB totally eliminated it.
