FUNCTIONS FOR RECEIVE

General PBT (Passband Tuning) function electronically
narrows the IF passband width by shifting the IF fre-
quency to slightly outside of the IF filter passband to
reject interference. This transceiver uses the DSP cir-
cuit for the PBT function. Moving both

[PBT

]

controls to the same position shifts the IF.

➥ Push [PBT/M-ch/RIT] momentarily to select the

twin PBT function, if the M-ch-RIT is selected.

[PBT/M-ch/RIT] indicator (Green) lights.

• The passband settings window shows the passband

width and shift frequency graphically. (The passband
settings window can be turned OFF in the display set
mode. p. 127)

➥ When M-1 is selected, push [F-3 FIL] for 1 sec. to

enter the filter set mode. Current passband width
and shift frequency is displayed in the filter set
mode.

➥ To set the [PBT

] controls to the center posi-

tions, push

The limit of the variable range depends on the pass-
band width and mode. The edge of the variable range
is half of the passband width, and PBT is adjustable in
100 (AM) or 25 Hz steps (other modes).

[PBT] controls should normally be set to the center posi-
tions (PBT setting is cleared) when there is no interfer-
ence.

• When PBT is used, the audio tone may be changed.
• Not available for FM or WFM modes.
• While rotating

[PBT], noise may occur. This comes from

the DSP unit and does not indicate an equipment mal-
function.
