Hi,

I have absolutely no dip in the center of my LP-Pan display and I have never
heard anybody else having this problem either. The IF out port and the
crystal filter bank are driven in parallel by a buffer amplifier that
appears to be capable of driving both without gain loss due to the crystal
filter load.
