Anyone know if the attenuation can be removed from MW on the Drake R8? Pros,
cons?

I don't think that there is attenuation in MW on the R8....I know the preamp
cannot be enabled on MW but, I am pretty sure that there is no attenuation
in the front end on that band. Maybe I'm wrong.

I think you are right. I should have asked if the pre-amp can be made to
work in MW.

It doesn't do much other than move the needle one notch.

The pre-amp does work on MW with the R8-B.
