CW NARROW FILTER
The IC-R8500 has a CW narrow mode which pro-
vides better S/N (signal-to-noise) and also rejects
nearby interference. The CW narrow filter is helpful
when receiving CW and radio-teletype signals.
Remove the top cover as shown opposite.
Connect the FL-52A as shown in the diagram at
right.
•Make sure it is connected in the proper orientation.
•Attached nuts on the FL-52A are not necessary. If you
want to install the filter more securely, open the MAIN
unit, then use the nuts on the bottom of the MAIN unit.
