Julian, ".... clear that this is as a result of a design compromise made on the basis that HF performance was paramount" I don't think it was a compromise, if it was intentional to keep performance at peak. Weak signal work usually requires preamp at the antenna not at the radio, and personally I'd rather have the focus on MDS with excellent ears. The excellent ears without MDS are useless in high noise and strong adjacent sigs.

Given that I'm in a fairly noisy urban environment, perhaps the preamp would have been a waste of money for me anyway. ----- Julian, G4ILO.
