NoiseBlanker
The Noise blanker eliminates pulse-type noise such
as the noise from car ignitions.
The Noise blanker cannot be used in the FM mode.

IPPlusfunction
The IP Plus function improves the Intermodulation
Distortion (IMD) quality by exerting the direct sampling
system performance.
This function optimizes the Analog/Digital Converter
(ADC) against the distortion when you receive a
strong input signal. It also improves the Third-order
Intercept Point (IP3) while minimizing the reduction of
the receive sensitivity.
