It does a good job but I generally don't like the "digital" sound
it imparts to the audio, I usually keep mine off. Also it will
eliminate the weak stations since it thinks that they are noise.

That's exactly what it's suppose to do and does it very well.

Yes that's correct though both eliminate noise just different
types.

has to do with the pulse length of the noise????
I'm not sure if it controls pulse length or rate but it sets the
level at which it reaches maximum blanking. Unlike the blanker on
the Corsair II it works great and NEVER induces any broadband
noise on the audio. I usually leave mine ON and set to maximum
(8).
