Since a few people wanted to hear what I ended up doing to fix my MP on 15
meters, here it is:

I finally got around to fixing my MP that had bad sensitivity on 15 meters
(actually 15 thru 22 Mhz).  I found the bandpass filter for 15 to 22mhz had
about 7 db of loss.  Replacing L1078 fixed the problem.  This was my later
model MP with SN5N060188.  I've also replaced my 455khz 500 hz filter with an
INRAD 400hz unit.  Will report on impressions later...still waiting for
delivery of the 70mhz preamp mod kit.

73, Ty K3MM
