[TowerTalk] NR-1 noise reduction unit.

[Richard Karlquist]

So IMHO, the unit should be called a "noise blanker". 

My ancient FT-1000 had a noise blanker that worked very well ... unless
there were other radio signals on nearly frequencies.  Think:  contests.
 In that case, it predictably folded like a lawn chair.  Has anyone
tried one of these during a contest?  I would be very surprised if it
would work under those conditions.
