Better yet, turn on the attenuator and note the dramatic improvement in
signal-to-noise ratios on the lower bands. I have the attenuator on for
80 & 40M, both pre-amp and attenuator off on 30 and most of the time on
20M and the pre-amp on for 17, 15, 12 & 10M. I usually have the pre-amp
on for 160M.
