Kenwood's AIP = "Advanced Intercept Point". It reduces the sensitivity of
the receiver which has the effect of reducing receiver-induced intermod by
lowering the TOIP/compression point. Although I thought it might just be an
attenuator that is switched in, Bob said that what it's really doing is
reducing the gain of the first RF stage (I guess there's an RF amplifier
before the first mixer).
I didn't get a chance to re-measure my V7A with the AIP turned on yet.

You'd think it should be getting BETTER with all of the VHF/UHF paging
activity having dropped off in many areas, IMTS being dead (or in some
cases, the channels re-used for other purposes), etc., but that doesn't seem
to be the case. Go figure.
