Re: [IRCA] SP 600 /R390

Charlie,

That is my complaint with the R8 too. If the signal next door is too
strong, then the noise blanker shuts off. The SPR4 does not have that
issue. However, in the case of the SPR4, often if the clicking of the
fence to loud enough, the blanker will not totally remove the noise
100%. The R8, that is not the issue. The way around the issue with the
noise blanker in the R8, is to either phase down the strong signal, or
use the Palstar presellector, between the antenna and R8. The "Q" is so
sharp that it knocks down a signal 10 KHZ away 20 DB and enough to keep
the noise blanker in the R8 working. But I still have an issue with
splits really close. But most of the time, knocking down the RF gain in
ECSS, I can rid myself of 99% of the clicking. But it is fuzzy to do
sometimes.
But at least in the case of the clicking fence, it is much easier to get
rid of that noise than computers, and other noises.

73,

Patrick
