No.

MDS is likely to be around -140 dBm in a 500-Hz bandwidth. Given
roofing filters to 200 Hz, you may be able to hear signals below this
point.

It will have limited range on 6 meters. You could bypass the ATU on
this band if you prefer.

Same. If you have the ATU, there are two antenna jacks, switchable from
the front panel.

Yes; there may be a menu entry to turn this on.

You'll need to discuss this with Lisa; the order form will eventually
deal with several such questions we've had about filters.

Artifact of pricing mathematics. If it bothers a lot of people, we'll
change it one way or the other :)
