Hi All,
There's been a few times that members have asked what the NB or Noise Blanker function is on their radios and why it doesn't seem to do anything.
I've done my best to help with this question before but only just remembered that someone did a very good demonstration of the functionality on YouTube. I hope it helps anyone facing the same question.
All the best, Victor
Obviously full credit to Mike and a big thanks for his excellent demonstration.

I tend to find that most CB's and Export radios noise blankers don't work on SSB. They do on ham radios, though.
