Noise Blankers

[rfenabled]

To be honest I have not found any noise the NB would not get rid of.

Having said that, I have a 6 cylinder diesel that does give my TS-480SAT some measure of grief.

Just for my own knowledge I hooked the K3 to the same power lead fitted with Anderson plugs as with all my power leads, and, the result was impressive.

Where the 480 was struggling the K3 shone and I was happy with the result.

>From this you can surmise that the K3 NB is very effective on ignition noise.

Hope you are getting good information to help you decide.

73's and good luck whichever way you jump.

A six cylinder diesel doesn't have ignition noise.  What noise are you
comparing against?  73, Guy.

A diesel fuel injection pump/system makes all kinds of electrical
noise.  There is no electrical ignition system in a diesel engine.

Guy and all,

If the diesel has electronically timed injectors, the injector timing
circuitry could be causing noise.

Actually,
some old International Harvester diesels did have spark plugs.  They
started on gasoline and after they warmed up, the operator switched
them over to diesel :-)

Otherwise, this reminds me of a story. 
When I was a teenager, my dad, who managed a large automotive machine
shop associated with an automotive and industrial parts store, got me a
summer job there as a parts guy.

One of the tricks pulled on new
guys was a customer or another salesman asking for a set of spark plugs
for a Cummins, a radiator cap for a Corvair or an oil pan gasket for a
Powerglide transmission.

All of which don't exist.

I operated both VHF and HF mobile for 5 years and a million
miles behind a 6-cylinder Detroit diesel engine.

They -do- produce electrical noise from several sources.
Even the instrument panel gauges and their "senders" can
produce noise

And in the aircraft mechanic trade we sent them out to get a bucket of
prop wash ;o)

And in the electronics trade (tube days) we sent them out to get a drip pan for grid
leak resistors.

Y'all didn't use flight line to tie that bucket under the nacelle?

I worked in a TV factory, 1968. We sent the new guys to the supply window
for a raster stretcher.

Yes, but we did that before the prop wash trick.  When we sent them
for prop wash we sent them to the flight line, the location of which
they now knew.

And when I worked on the Harris 4 color press at Gulf Printing in
Houston, we would send the new guys upstairs to meet our stripper.

Great fun ;o)

Early days of TV Broadcasting we sent new projectionists to the competition
to get a box of sprocket holes - they always came back with them!
But when we sent them for a camera cable stretcher (does exist) they
wouldn't go.
