FUNCTIONS FOR RECEIVE
■
Twin PBT operation
(Mode: SSB/CW/RTTY/AM)
To reject interference, PBT (Passband Tuning) elec-
tronically 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 cen-
ter frequency both above and below the received fre-
quency.
➥
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 fre-
quency 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.
• The [TWIN-PBT] controls should normally be set
to the center positions when there is no interfer-
ence. The PBT setting should be cleared.
• When the PBT is used, the audio tone may
change.
• The controls do not function in the FM and DV
modes.
• While 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.
