Hi Patrick,

I'd pay 1000.00 for a good noise blanker, don't know how many others would 
although there has been a big resurgence in boatanchors these past few 
years, I figured there had to be some problem as I'm sure you'd see them for 
sale somewhere. I can null out noise with my Quantum Phaser but would rather 
null out strong adjacents. These things works great by the way, just as good 
as a good loop and you can still use your long wires,

Bob
