Yes, that's possible. There are various noiseblankers which can be included in
the signal path before the analyser.
The most simple one is in each "DSP blackbox" (the square objects labelled with
a question mark).
I think Markus has already used them to defeat QRN with some success.
BTW The "soundcard sampling rate calibrator" has been modified in SL V2.75 b6 .
It has an immediate effect now, after entering a reference frequency, and the
measured frequency. For the next release, the 'continuous' sample rate
calibrator will support synchronizing to the ALPHA beeps; I am still working on
that (either with a boxcar integrator, or with a sufficiently narrow-band
detector).
Cheers,
Wolf .
