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
/M-ch/RIT]
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)

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
/M-ch/RIT] controls to the center posi-
tions, push [PBT
/M-ch/RIT(
CLR
)] for 1 sec.
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.
