Thom,
I'm sorry I missed this one. We've been overwhelmed by email the past few
days. Lyle and I have been tag-teaming, covering most of the bases, we hope!
Thanks for finding it and answering!
The K3 noise blanker is a completely new design. It is being tested on a wide
variety of noise sources. While it's impossible to say exactly how it would
compare to other blankers on every noise type, I can assure you it's a
significant enhancement.
Great....I'll pass your information along to the list.
We studied several different design approaches
before starting the KNB3, including the Drake circuit.
In addition, the K3 includes DSP-based both noise blanking and noise
reduction features that can mitigate noise problems I.F. blankers can't
touch, no matter how sophisticated.
So, the K3 might be known as "The Biggest Hammer"? (Hmmm, I reserve
K3 - The Biggest Hammer as a Tshirt Phrase.)
There have also been discussions relative to passband tuning.
The K3 includes passband tuning.
Cool
Feel free to email me directly with further questions on this topic.
Thanks...I will post your message to the drake mailing list...I suspect
you might be a few emails.
Thanks
