[TenTec] filter

[Greg S]

Yes. Neither level did much. No CW filters were installed. I even attempted to play with the hardware adjustment. One could get more distortion, but not better blanking. Strange. Interestingly, my IC-7410 blanker kills the fencer pulses completely on it’s lowest level with NO distortion of strong signals. Technology marches on.

I find the hardware noise blanker as used in the Tentec Eagle to be very effective on impulse noise such as an electric fence.   However, the digital noise blanker as used in the Omni VII is not near as effective.
