[Elecraft] Purpose and usage of the "Hi IP" signal.

Wed Nov 5 21:50:05 2003

Hi IP means 'High Intercept Point" and is left on all the time for best RX 
dynamic range if enabled in the menu. (Performance mode). This is the default 
setting. The transistor easily handles the heat with its heatsink. :-)
