Topband: 1000MP Noise Blanker

[bill thomas]

Has anyone attempted a NB mod on the 1000MP that is similar to that of the 
1000D? My measurements show that even with the NB switched off and the 
control fully CCW that there is still 1.6 volts present at the test point 
TP2001.  The voltage range is 1.6 to 3.2 at full CW.  It matters not whether 
the NB1 and NB2 are on or off; the voltage readings are the same. I wonder 
if anyone else has looked at this and made measurements as to whether or not 
it might improve the performance of the radio if the 1.6 volts is fully 
removed when the NB is switched off.
