[1000mp] ROOFING FILTER

[roofus]

I received the INRAD Roofing Filter as a Christmas present and just now got
around to installing it in my MARK V (200W) and the difference it makes is
incredible.  What I have now though is no S-meter reading what so ever.  I
had the IF mod in and when I did that I changed menu 9-1 from 13 to 9 and
the S-meter seemed to be pretty close to my ear, I have no test equipment.
Looking around the bands today I found someone on 17 meters giving me a S-5
on my IC-706 MIIG and the same S-5 on the MARK-V sub VFO but nothing on the
main VFO.  I moved 9-1 back to 13 but still nothing even after moving it up
to 31.  If I find a big signal 20 over 9 I can get the main VFO S-meter to
read a S-9 but nothing more than that.  The signal is booming and sounds
like a 20 over signal but the meter isn't corresponding.  This doesn't seem
normal, any comments?

By the way, anyone interested in my INRAD IF mod let me know, $25.00 postage
paid in US.
