K3 noise blanker behavior with sub receiver

[Charles Johnson-2-3]

I have noticed some strange behavior in the K3 regarding the noise
blanker (NB) and the sub receiver.  If I have the sub receiver turned
off and am listening to the main receiver with the noise blanker turned
on, then enable the sub receiver, the noise blanker is turned off in the
main receiver. I then have to turn it back on for the main receiver,
then enter B SET and turn it on for the sub receiver. The CONFIG:VFO IND
has to be enabled to even allow you to turn on the sub receiver's noise
blanker. If CONFIG:VFO IND is not enabled, I can not find a way to turn
on the sub receiver's noise blanker. The noise reduction (NR) on the
other hand, works completely differently. The settings are maintained as
you turn the sub receiver on and off, and you can turn on the noise
reduction in the sub receiver by turning it on for the main receiver.
Seems to me the two functions should work the same way. I use the noise
blanker a lot. It works very well on my power line noise, but using it
with the sub receiver is not very straight forward. What am I missing
here? Thanks, Charlie, K4ZRJ

Charles,

There's a setting in the menu to remember the NB settings.
Switch that on and the problem is solved.
