George,
I've never seen a noise blanker in any piece of ham gear (or other) that can 
work as we would like under strong signal condx on TopBand. I've suffered on 
160 for 45 yrs and if one was available I'd have bought it by now !

ps: I think with our new technology it may soon be possible... 
(affordable)...... keeping my fingers crossed.
