W3FPR replied to KH6AT that gated noise blankers cannot be expected
to work when the noise pulse is insufficient to reach the gating threshold
& that more signal might improve performance when blanking weak
noise. Sounds reasonable, but...
I believe my other radios have gated noise blankers. They behave far
better than the KNB2 in my K2 - even on noise that presumably is what
the KNB2 was designed for (chain saws, dirt bikes & similar stuff that
might be encountered by backpackers) - regardless of strength.
Outside of the type of noise the blanker is tailored for, why would it
be that a number of folks using one particular radio with a gated noise
blanker (K2 with KNB2) find the performance to be lacking compared to
other radios also with gated noise blankers?
