[1000mp] roofing filter and menu 9.1

[Hank Beisheim]

I'd recommend the elecraft XG-1 calibrated signal source if you want to
accurately set menu 9.1.

OK now to find something that will give me 50uV so that when I get the mod I

will be able to set it up properly.  Luckily between the delay in them 
sending the mod and when I will be able to order it will give me plenty of 
time, at least 3 or 4 months.

Thanks,
Bob
