[TenTec] Noise Blanker Comparisons

[Darrell Bellerive]

There are discussions ongoing on the Ten-Tec reflectors on both yahoo groups and contesting.com about the noise blankers of the Triton IV, the Omni A/B/C, and the Corsairs.

While noise blankers are be designed to address specific noise conditions, and one design may work better on power line noise where another works better on ignition noise, etc., how effective are the noise blankers of the different Ten-Tec receivers? And on what type of noise?

>From what has been posted so far, it appears that the Triton IV noise blanker is outstanding on power line noise, and the Corsair on over the horizon radar such as the Woodpecker of years ago.

How effective do you find the blankers, and on what specific types of noise? Do you notice increased IMD products or other problems? How do they compare with other Ten-Tec models? Are the current rigs better than the old analogue rigs on reducing or eliminating noise?
