I have only had to use the HW noise blanker a couple of times on my O
II. I noticed an increased susceptibility to intermod, but then I've
noticed that even with adjustable HW noise blankers. In almost all
cases, if I backed off on adjustable blankers enough to mitigate the
intermod problem, they were backed off so far that the noise problem
had returned.

The hardware noise blanker is too aggressive in my Orion2. I have
power line noise on 160 meters and a variable HW noise blanker would
be useful if it could be cut back some. Currently, when I invoke the
HW blanker, and there are strong signals near the listening
frequency, it is murder on the listening frequency.
My question is: Why would Ten Tec not have allowed for a variable HW
noise blanker in this high end radio? The SW blanker is useless.
Does anyone else have this problems with the O2 HW noise
blanker with near by strong signals up and down the band creating
problems to the listening frequency?
Thanks.
