Noise Blankers

WD6DBM
Tom,

I find the noise blanker on the K3 to be extremely good.  I have been plagued with power line noise for years at my QTH, and the K3 is the first rig I've owned that can knock it out.  It takes a bit of tweaking, and for reasons I don't understand the power line noise on Tuesday night might require a different setting than the power line noise on Monday night.  During the Geminids meteor shower last month I had some strange impulse noise that would have wiped me out with my previous rigs.  With the K3's noise blanker I was able to carefully remove it without destroying the weak-signal capability and worked a pile of stations on 6m meteor scatter. 

Try one out--you'll love it!
