4 RECEIVE AND TRANSMIT ■ Twin PBT operation SSB/CW/RTTY/PSK/AM PBT (Passband Tuning) electronically narrows the IF passband width by shifting the IF frequency slightly outside of the IF filter passband to reject interference. The IC-7600 uses DSP for the PBT function. Moving both [TWIN-PBT] controls to the same position shifts the IF both above and below the received frequency. ➥ The LCD shows the passband width and shift frequency graphically. • The indicator on the [PBT-CLR] switch lights when PBT is in use. ➥ Push and hold [FILTER] for 1 sec. to enter the filter set screen. Current passband width and shift frequency is displayed in the filter set screen. ➥ To set the [TWIN-PBT] controls to the center positions, push and hold [PBT-CLR] for 1 sec. The variable range depends on the passband width and mode. The edge of the variable range is half of the passband width, and PBT is adjustable in 25 (SSB/CW/RTTY/PSK modes) or 100 Hz (AM mode) steps. • The [TWIN-PBT] controls should normally be set to the center positions (PBT setting is cleared) when there is no interference. • When PBT is used, the audio tone may be changed. • Not available for FM mode. • While rotating the [TWIN-PBT] controls, noise may occur. This comes from the DSP unit and does not indicate an equipment malfunction. • Push and hold [DEF] (F-4) for 1 sec. to select a default value.
