Jumpers for joy
As with the TS-2000, something special has been provided for both the BPF ATT in the BC band
and the regular ATT:
The BPF has been equipped with an ATT in order to cope with powerful local broadcasting
stations in the BC band. However, a jumper can be used to switch from NORM to DX, bypassing
this ATT and raising sensitivity by about 20dB.
The ATT accessible from the control panel defaults to 12dB, but by removing the CN4 jumper it
is possible to increase this to about 20dB.
