Becouse I live near the city (chicago ) a noise blanker is needed most of the day time. +10db. Static is common on both ssb and am.The best radios i ever used as a receiver was a Stoner Pro 40 for ssb, and a Kenwood TS950sdx. Kenwood has a awesome noise blanker.Static is a major problem for me most of the time.
