I built, tested and installed KNB2 Noise Blanker, in my K2 # 5422 - on 6 May 2006.
Still in the SWL mode, awaiting a stealth antenna, and having gotten my K2 # 5422 aligned and KSB2 installed - I've only practiced with using this KNB2 Noise Blanker on noisy band (CW and SSB) conditions. The operation of the KNB2, in contrast to NB's on various IC-706MKIIG and IC-7000 rigs I've recently owned - doesn't seem effective at all. In fact I'm doubting it does anything? Today, a large propane truck sat outside, 50 feet away from this K2 rig - plenty plenty of ignition noise. Clearly, on 40m CW ignition noise - none of that noise is reduced or eliminated by my new KSB2 at all? Aside from the simple hi/lo threshold settings - is there any "alignment" tweaking which I could do - to make this KNB2 come alive, and work? And on my KNB2, the hi/low setting don't do anything either?
