Right. Any sort of device with a switching power supply will create
noise, AND most noise blankers are likely to be ineffective, because
it's not impulse noise.
This search for a better noise blanker may be misguided. The solution to
most noise issues is to kill it at the source.
FWIW -- the best noise reduction I have ever heard (and it is amazingly
good) is in NR0V's control software for ANAN radios. Warren is the
inventor/developer of the Pure Signal algorithm. I visited his QTH (only
a few miles from mine) a year or two ago and he demonstrated it to me.
Warren's software might work on your noise.
