[1000mp] Inrad roofing mod to Mark V

[RJD]

Pete, the first time I opened 9-1 on my FT1000MP MarkV, it was "SET AT 16 RF
RX GAIN"!! I purchased this unit NEW from AES and so I'm the original and
only owner.  So I guess there are units that have a setting other that the
default 12...

Mark, I think those are the highest numbers I've ever heard for a 9-1 
setting.  You're probably not getting full benefit.
