Many thanks for the comment much appreciated
Very sorry for taking so long in replying I'm not very good and checking for new comments probably for the same reason that I didn't include the interesting noise from my tuner. Afraid it all boils down to time or lack of it as I would have had to set things up and make a separate recording and I was just keen to get the show finished my apologies, again the same reason for not giving audio examples of the noise blanker. Also thanks for the information on relays having never owned a modern HF radio I assumed they would be silent, thanks for the clarification

Best wishes MrX
