The manual for the 585 states, "Connector 16 (on the RX high pass filter board) supplies 0.1-1.6 MHz band information to the 1st mixer board to disable the RF amplifier on that band." It does cause about a 2 S-unit increase, on the broadcast band,  when disconnected. My question is, will it affect any other bands? It doesn't seem to, and will it cause any long-term damage?

I'M ON 12 ACRES IN THE COUNTRY, IN SOUTHERN VIRGINIA. I DON'T HAVE THE PROBLEM THAT I HAD WHEN I LIVED IN THE METRO NY AREA BEFORE I MOVED WITH  ALL THE 50K NY STATIONS. TNX FOR THE HELP.
