[TenTec] noise blankers

[Bob McGraw - K4TAX]

Regarding Rob's demo on noise pulses integrating with the AGC,  based on 
Rob's findings, I seem to recall that Tentec did release firmware of recent 
that effectively changes the AGC time constants or the location of the NR/NB 
functions thus they are in a different place within the firmware routine, 
thus the aforementioned effect is minimized.

For the Omni VII, the Eagle and the Argonaut VI, if you don't have the 
latest release or have not updated your radio, I suggest doing so.
