Dave,

Bought my Delta 580 new in early 1980's.  Installed a new noise blanker board 
shortly thereafter.  Always felt that the noise blanker was largely ineffective 
on my particular radio.  Did not think there was anything wrong with the radio 
or the noise blanker.  Just did not think it did all that I had hoped and 
expected it to do.  

I don't remember for sure, but I think that there may be one or more pots/coils 
on the noise blanker board that may be tweaked for optimum performance.  I used 
to fiddle with those, but never improved anything over the original settings.

The observations apply to just one radio and one noise blanker board.  Others 
may have had better results.  It is a nice, easy to use, and easy to listen to 
radio.  Just does not seem to have a particularly effective noise blanker.

experience with it, so is there anyone in the group that can tell me how well 
it should be expected to work?  Any experience troubleshooting them?
