Notch Filter
SSB, CW, RTTY, AM and FM modes
The IC-9700 has Auto Notch and Manual Notch
functions.
Auto Notch automatically attenuates beat tones,
tuning signals and so on. It can be used in the SSB,
AM and FM modes.
Manual Notch attenuates beat tones, tuning signals
and so on by manually adjusting the filtering
frequency. It can be used in the SSB, CW, RTTY and
AM modes.
