[1000mp] roofing filter and menu 9.1

[Kostas SV1DPI]

Tks for replies.
My ears say the same
The inrad's manual is rather wrong, because it says that you must increase
the value in menu 9.1 to factory default if you had the old mode before.
I think that i will ask inrad for a correction....
By the way, the roofing filter is in stock in European shops.
I bought mine from Apello (Germany) and he sent it in 5 days.

The XG-1 will not allow you to determine the MDS level of the receiver.
