You're right, Clark, noise blankers represent tradeoffs. For example:
My Corsair: no distortion, but limited noise blanking ability.
Paragon: great blanking, but introduces distortion, typically key clicks
on incoming signals.
Scout: Outstanding blanking, no distortion, but causes i.f. filter blowby.
