I sometimes have high line noise at my house and have found that
many times there is not a noise blanker around that will touch it...
I have a JPS ANC-4 and sometimes even that wont do much! When it
gets the noise, it'll drop drop as much as 7 or 8 S-units, when it
doesn't, I just turn off the rig!
I have several rigs with blankers to compare the 990 to: an OMNI-V,
a TR-7. Icom R-70 and R-71A, Drake T-4XC/R-4C, the one in the Yaesu
is the best of all those..
Just my $.02
