Smartsdr 4.0.1 Noiseblanker

Hardy

in SmartSDR for Windows

Hello,

In the new version 4.0.1, the noise blanker is completely non-functional.
I have an electric fence nearby. Receiving it with the FlexRadio is a nightmare.

With my Yaesu FTDX-5000, the electric fence is instantly and completely inaudible.

Will a functioning noise blanker be reinstalled, or will one have to purchase a "feature"?

73, Hardy

    My perspective, maybe no-one else's: I think you should wait for the next release. I have a farmer's cattle fence nearby and V3 deals with it admirably. V4.0.1 does nothing until I access the level for NB via the API (using StreamDeck). With the level up a lot from the default, the noise is gone just as with V3. Therefore I expect either an improved algorithm to come or else the return of level sliders so that users can make adjustments.

    It already is a functioning noise blanker, works fine for me, I have some static noise being generated possibly also from a fence that is not always on, clicks about once a second only on 160m. NB apparently is not working with your type of noise. With the exception of removing the sliders, there has been no change with the NB with v4.01.
