5 FUNCTIONS FOR RECEIVE ■ Twin PBT operation (Mode: SSB/CW/RTTY/AM) To reject interference, PBT (Passband Tuning) electronically narrows the IF passband width by shifting the IF frequency slightly outside of the IF filter passband. The IC-9100 uses DSP for the PBT function. Moving both [TWIN-PBT] controls shift the IF passband center frequency both above and below the received frequency. ➥ The LCD graphically shows the passband width and frequency shift. ➥ Hold down [FILTER] for 1 second to display the "FIL" screen (Filter). Current passband width and frequency shift are displayed in the "FIL" screen. ➥ Hold down [PBT-CLR] for 1 second to set the IF frequency to the center position. • The "dot" disappears. The PBT is adjustable in 50 Hz steps in the SSB/CW/ RTTY modes, and 200 Hz in the AM mode. In this time, the shift value changes in 25 Hz steps in the SSB/CW/RTTY modes, and 100 Hz in the AM mode. • T he [TWIN-PBT] controls should normally be set to the center positions when there is no interference. The PBT setting should be cleared. • W hen the PBT is used, the audio tone may change. • T he controls do not function in the FM and DV modes. • W hile rotating the [TWIN-PBT] controls, noise may occur. This comes from the DSP unit and does not indicate an equipment malfunction. • Pushing [PBT-CLR] displays the filter passband width and shift value for 1 seconds on the function display. [PBT-CLR] [TWIN-PBT] M1 AGC B2.3K S + 25 DUP COMP TBW SCP Passband width and shift value are displayed while [TWIN PBT] is used. Appears when passband is shifted. • "FIL" screen (Filter) display FIL B 2.4K S BW 0 SSB-2 2.4K R:15K SHARP Shows the selected filter and passband width. • While adjusting the PBT setting FIL B 2.0K S +200 BW SSB-2 2.4K R:15K SHARP Appears when the passband is shifted.
