[1000mp] New Roofing Filter

[wx5l at charter.net]

I have a question for those who have recently installed the new Inrad roofing filter.

1. Can you detect insertion loss? Was it necessary to adjust/compensate the IF gain in Menu 9? Did it affect the sensitivity in any way? I have presently the IF mod installed and feel it's a worthwhile improvement for signal to noise improvement but do you lose this in favor of better dynamic range?

I have read the pdf file and understand what this filter is doing but is there a trade-off.

2. Is it worth $165.00?
