There are 2 parts to the Inrad mod--an IF board and a capacitor for
modifying the audio response. I find both very useful on 160. The IF
board adds gain which improves reception with a Beverage antenna because
the 1000MP has marginal amplification gain for lossy antennas like
Beverages. The capacitor (which they call a "bonus" mod) rolls off the
excessive high frequency hiss which is present in some 1000MP's (including
mine) and makes it much more pleasant to use.
