■ Twin PBT operation
The twin PBT (Passband Tuning) function electronically
narrows the receiver’s IF passband widths to reduce
interference. Moving both [TWIN PBT] controls to the
same position shifts the IF.
-The LCD shows the passband width graphically.
Variable range depends on the filter selection. ±1.29
kHz in 15 Hz steps and ±258 kHz in 3 Hz steps are
available.
•[TWIN PBT] should normally be set to the center
positions when there is no interference.
•When PBT is used, the audio tone may be
changed.
•PBT may not function with some IF filter combina-
tions.
•Not available for FM mode.

also available.
To select a mode of operation, push the desired mode
