Hi
Just this week had an experience that confirms your findings.
Had a bad street lamp outside creating 30db over S9 noise across all bands.
The K2 was basically useless, with either combination of NB1 or NB2, Hi
or Lo threshold. Couldn't copy anything but noise.
Turned on my Kenwood TS940s and with either NB1 or NB2...no noise at
all, could easily copy signals that were too far under the noise for the K2.
The K2 NB works great on the noise created when my xyl runs the
blender, then again so does the 940s.
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?
