Hi Wiley,
I am glad to hear you state this, as I had several
suggestions to get an ANC-4. I got one a few months
ago, and it didnt work at all. Fortunately Memphis
Amateur had a return policy on it, so I returned it.
I am working on finding the noise, and have found a
few noisy poles, but the power company will not come
out and do anything about them. They won't even
return my phone calls. That is why I inquired about a
rig with a good noise blanker as a stop gap measure
until the power company fixes the problem or I move
