REF: Noise and noise blankers
I have a Triton IV with the noise blanker. It takes out pulse noise and
also eliminated static electricity noise from my vertical antenna during
stormy weather last week.
For atmospheric noise, and a neighbor's TV set noise, I use the ANC-4 Noise
Reducer by Timewave. It was recommended to me by another TenTec owner and
it works great (I have a small outside antenna to pick up noise). I have
had many QSOs with the ANC-4 "on" that I would not have been able to
without it.
Hope my experience will help others with similar problems.
