Hi Pete:
I'm always the 'late' one to reply it seems...
The KNB2 is a very good blanker... on CERTAIN noise types... but, as
with virtually blankers, you DO have to have the right type of noise.
It's generally very good no line noise, sparkplug/elec. mixer/elec.
fencer noises as well.
If you're interested,
download http://www.n0ss.net/knb2_demo.zip from my web site and
take a listen to my KNB2 in action. This was NOT a 'set-up'
demonstration, I just happened to tune across a 20M signal one day
when my line noise was pretty much out of sight, turned the KNB2 on,
and the noise disappeared... figgered it was a good demo, so I
recorded a bit of it.
I have to say as well that there WILL be times when the KNB2 will
appear to do NOTHING, even though I feel it should be doing its job
on some noise I'm hearing. Though I've not 'scoped out' the noise,
it's apparent that it must have some characteristic that the KNB2
doesn't like, or can't cope with, so the noise remains... but in
general, the KNB2 works very well... FOR ME anyway!

I have come into possession of a K2/100 with the DSP filter (KDSP2) but does
not have the noise blanker (KNB2).
Question: (1) Is the noise blanker a worthwhile purchase?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
