[1000mp] IPO (Intercept Point Optimization)

[W4LDE-Ron]

Bob,

Most likely you have menu item 8-4 set for tuned, I believe you get a 
preamp tune for the high bands in this mode, try flat and I do not think 
you will see such a significant change when you turn on-off the preamp 
using the IPO buttons.  When the sun spot cycle improves and we start 
seeing 10m activity you may want "tuned" then later on in the cycle you 
may feel "flat" is OK.  I'm hoping that we will be pressing the IPO 
button on ten during the up and coming cycle.
