IC-706 MKIIg noise blanker
 

I'm thinking about buying a new 706MKIIg and wonder how the noise
blanker does with ignition noise?

Mine doesn't have a noise blanker. It just has a button that says
noise blanker. I use an AmCom clear speech speaker which solves the
problem.

Icom doesn't seem to make noise blankers. The "NB" button on my 756Pro seems
to stand for "No-purpose Button"

The NB in my IC-796MKIIG seems to do OK. Perhaps others are better, but
mine definitely does reduce noise -- ignition and other.

Alan, IC796 must have been a typo, hit the nine key instead of the zero,
I do that sometimes too. Your's is the only one that seems to be working

I take it then the noise blanker is not too good in most of the 706
series.

I wonder how the FT-857 is?

My FT-900 is quite good, but I don't think I can get it in my new
vehicle.

Thanks
