Carl,

I concur. I don't use the phrase "best ever"  very often, but I have found 
the Orion's Hardware Noise Blanker to be just that, in my experience.

I live in a rural area, but still have electric fences and power line noise 
in the neighborhood. 2 Electric fences (each about 1/2 mile away) have been 
silenced from S - 7 and S - 8 to inaudible.

The Orion's Hardware noise blanker even takes a bite out of atmospherics on 
160 meters.

I fired up the vacuum cleaner once to see what would happen....S - 9 to GONE.

Yes, in my experience, it's the Best Ever!

73,
