[1000mp] if mod installed

[Phil ON4VP]

Thanks to all for replies.
The first impression after installing the IFmod was there iw more noise when
turning to 10 meters.
After reducing the 91 menu setting by 2 clicks, this was better.
But when setting 'tuned' my S meter always displays s4 to s5 without signals
?
If this preamp makes it go up like this, I am kinda sceptic if this improves
the noise floor and receives better signals.
So for the time being, I downclicked the IF by two clicks (menu 91) and use
'flat' for all bands.

Pherhaps in the near future I can experiment with flat/tuned on 10 when
making QSO's.
Thanks again ...
Phil, ON4VP
