[1000mp] Preamp setting

[Dean St. Hill]

Hi John,

I usually use the tuned pre-amp. I'm told the flat response pre-amp emulates 
or is the actual pre-amp used in the FT1000 and FT1000D.

As with most of these things, a lot of experimentation is critical, because 
what works for me may not work with me. For example, someone with very large 
stacked antennas may find the flat response pre-amp better than his friend 
across the road with dipole antennas - who might find tuned better.

One thing that i think makes a dramatic difference is the roofing filter 
which I've installed on both a MK5 and a MK5 field.

Enjoy the rig - it truly is one of the best available.


Regards,


Dean - 8P6SH

Just got my FT1000MP in yesterday, and wow!  what a radio!  Still figuring 
out all the things it can do.  What preamp setting do most people prefer?  I 
have it set right now to the tuned setting, which seems to actually have a 
negative gain on the low bands to keep the front end from being overloaded 
(at least the MDS in the QST review seemed to indicate this), and then has a 
decent gain on the higher bands.  Is the flat preamp better to use?
