Noise Blanker Video: Elecraft K3 vs. Yaesu FT-1000MP


Im speachless!! That is crazy what a difference there was and I guess if you live in an area where you have heavy electrical noise / interference then the K3 would be the way to go or start.
 
I had some horrid line noise on 160m last fall for for a time and it took a bit of tweaking, but once dialed in my K3 handled it so that maksed signals were Q5. Fortunately, it was fixed at some point and I've only had to use the NB sparingly. I did find that for certain types of noise that I've encountered sometimes the hardware NB is better suited than the DSP NB and sometimes both in concert are needed.

I recall many years ago working on a TS-700A 2m all mode transceiver where the NB was ineffective. Fortunately, it had an internal adjustment and once tweaked worked well. I've had some rigs that worked well and some not, but the K3 has the most adjustment of any I've owned so far.
