5 OTHER FUNCTIONS Selecting the digital IF filter The IC-R8600 has 3 digital IF filter passband widths for each receive mode. zzTouch the filter icon several times to select FIL 1 (wide), FIL 2 (mid) or FIL 3 (narrow). LEach touch changes the filter. DDAdjusting the passband width 1. Touch the filter icon for 1 second. 2. Touch [BW]. ••Selects the passband width mode. LYou cannot change the passband width in the FM, WFM or DIGITAL modes. 3. Rotate MAIN DIAL to adjust the passband width. LWhen you change the passband width, the Twin PBT setting is reset to the center position. Passband width mode 4. In the SSB or CW mode, you can change the filter shape by touching [SHARP] or [SOFT]. LSee "Selecting the filter shape" to the right. 5. To close the FILTER screen, push EXIT several times.

The filter has an almost ideal shape 18 factor. Signals out of the passband are extremely filtered out and it gives you better audio quality. 19 SOFT 20 The filter shoulders are roundly formed as in analog filters. This decreases noise components in the 21 high and low frequencies of the filter passband and increases the S/N ratio of the target signal. These characteristics play an effective role in picking up very weak signals. The filter shape is kept, and the sharpness of the bandpass is excellent. 5-3
