■ Changing the bandwidth of the manual notch filter
Configure Wide or Normal for the stopband width of the
manual notch filter. If Wide is configured for the bandwidth,
the stopband width of the manual notch filter will be
expanded twice as wide as Normal.
1
Press
[NCH/SEL]
(M) or
[NCH/SEL]
(S) to enable the
manual notch filter for the selected band.
The manual notch filter for the selected band will be
alternated between enabled and disabled.
2
Press and hold
[NCH/SEL]
(M) or
[NCH/SEL]
(S) .
"Normal" or "Wide" is configured for the passband width.
If "Wide" is selected, "NOTCH W" will appear above the
frequency display of the selected band, in the main screen.
AUTO NOTCH FILTER (SSB)
If there is a single interfering tone (i.e., a cyclic signal
like CW) in the receive bandwidth, the auto notch filter
searches for, finds, and suppresses the interfering tone
automatically.
This function occasionally slightly suppresses the S-meter
readout or the target signal.
If there is a weak interference signal, beat cancellation
may be able to eliminate it more effectively.
