OK - I am going to stir the pot some. I have one of those 4NB noise blanker's installed in my R-4C. To be honest that noise blanker is largely ineffective and over rated. I have seen them sell for over $200 on e-bay. I scratch my head and wonder why? In My Humble Opinion they are a over rated vessel of fertilizer and none may abide by the odor there of. Would I sell my 4NB noise blanker? NO. As you might recall I have one of those Sherwood / Drake R-4C's (late production SN), the service receipt for it from Sherwood totals more than $900. Bottom line, be prepared to be disappointed if you pay high dollar for a 4NB noise blanker and it does little or nothing. Experiencing what I have with my R-4C and 4NB, I would never throw away money on buying one for my TR-4C. Be careful what you wish for.
Don Jones KO7i ps - my heavily modified R-4C has been outperforming my Ten Tec OMNI VI in every way. The OMNI VI has a full load of filters. Plus the INRAD roofing filter mod. I have trying to get the VP8O logged and I have had to resort to using the R-4C to copy his very weak signal here in Western WA.

Does anyone on the list have one and what would you need for it? Thanks much and very 73. Kevin :) Amateur Radio: K7RX
