[1000mp] Menu help

[ON4VP]

Hello,

I'm in the process of digging into some of the extended menu settings.
I find some thingsin the manual poor explained, so I refer to the
experienced users :

menu 84 (frontend RF amp section)

I tried this (is set to FLAT here) and I only see a S-meter increase mostly
on 10 meters.
Some signals getting stronger, but background noise rises to.
Tommorow I guess my IF mod will arrive, has this have to do something with
eachother ?
Help in choosing FLAT or TUNED appreciated ...


menu 85 (user settings)

to hard to understand, manual lacks of info, help appreciated ...


menu 86 (receive carrier)

what is the default value, and is this for the 3th IF ? (455 Khz)
what is the EASY SET ? help appreciated...


Thanks for any help in advance
