[1000mp] IPO (Intercept Point Optimization)

[Ross Stenberg]

Hi Bob, Yaesu made this one confusing. When you turn on IPO you are actually
turning off the preamp. They just wanted it to sound fancy.

Okay the IPO button as I understand it bypasses the
front-end FET RF amplifiers which will somewhat reduce the
signal and help reduce the overloading from signals on
adjacent frequencies on the lower bands.  However, on the
upper bands when I engage the IPO there is a huge drop in
signal.  Does anyone have an explanation for this large drop
or better still is this normal or is there a possible
problem with my Mark V.  Just curious.
