[1000mp] Main versus Sub Receivers

[Arie Kleingeld en Marian van Boheemen]

Byron,

Yes, this makes sense!
I noticed a small difference is  the s-meter readings also, but only under
s8 or so.
The s-meter of  the main receiver is not to be trusted, try listening to an
s8 signal and then swith in the attenuator. Ever 6 dB the s-meter should
drop 1 s-point. Well, it drops, but never one s-point....... try this! My
s-meter drops at least 2 or 3 s-points. So dont worry about those s-meters.
By setting the if gain to 13, the agc kicks in with weaker sigs, so the
s-meter will come up on those weaker sigs. When the sigs are above s9,
difference of a few dBs is not noticable on any of the two meters.

About the pre-amp: the flat amp gives more gain on 40 than the tuned amp. On
40 I can swith off the tuned amp (IPO) and see barely any difference (maybe
one or two dB, not more). Can anybody tell me why it is there?

Happy new year everybody.
