I find that I usually have the preamp on for 14 Mhz and higher, while I 
turn it off on the lower bands (unless I'm using my low gain ferrite 
loop on 160).  It will depend on the gain of your antennas and the 
amount of local noise you have.  The preamp setting is saved per-band, 
so you don't have to change it a lot.
