Hi Brad,
If you haven't done so already, you might try one
of the MFJ or Timewave noise cancellors as a stop
gap until you get the problem fixed with the power
company. If you have a single noise source, these
units can be extremely effective. Also, not all noise
blankers are created equal. For some reason the
blanker in my Ten-Tec Paragon seems to be much
more effective than the blankers on some of the
other Kenwood rigs I use at the local club stations
I frequent. Of course, the blanker is only effective
when there are not a lot of loud stations transmitting
close to the DX stations frequency. With lots of
strong adjacent signals, the blanker produces all
sorts of cross modulation products and becomes
essentially useless.
