[1000mp] 15 meters

[Tom Horton]

Pete,
  Yes, 15 is quieter than 10. The radio works well. I still hear very 
strong signals.
It's just like the noise floor on 15 is lower. I really don't have a 
complaint about it,
  it's really quite nice actually!
Let me add that this is a vintage, "early" MP.
I had to send it to YAesu several years ago and I noticed this phenomenon 
both before and
after the trip.
