[K3] NB indicator blinking

[Bob Cunnings NW8L]

I've observed the NB icon blinking sometimes, only when the hardware
blanker is being used. What does that mean? I can't find any mention
of this in the manual or in the more recent firmware release notes on
the website.

Hi Bob,

Per the rev. C1-4, K3 Owner's manual errata dated May 5, 2008 ...

=========================================================================
Page 24, bottom of left column, add:

The NB icon will flash on/off if the I.F. blanker setting is too high for
the present signal conditions.  If this happens, use a lower setting.
=========================================================================

Ah, the errata! I suppose it's the "blanking level" component of the
NB setting  which is "too high", which makes sense. Thanks,
