FUNCTIONS FOR RECEIVE
■
Noise Reduction
The Noise Reduction function reduces random noise
components and enhances audio signals which are
buried in noise. The received signals are converted
to digital signals and then the audio signals are sepa-
rated from the noise.
q
Push [NR] to turn ON the Noise Reduction function.
• “NR” appears.
w
Rotate the [NR] control to adjust the noise reduc-
tion level.
e
Push [NR] again to turn OFF the function.
• “NR” disappears.
A large rotation of the [NR] control results in audio
signal masking or distortion. Set the [NR] control for
maximum readability.
■
Notch function
(Mode = Auto notch
: SSB/AM/FM
Manual notch : SSB/CW/RTTY/AM)
This transceiver has Auto and Manual Notch functions.
The Auto Notch function uses DSP to automatically at-
tenuate beat tones, tuning signals, etc., even if their
frequencies are changing. The Manual Notch function
allows you to manually attenuate a frequency via the
[NOTCH] control.
➥
In the SSB or AM mode, push [NOTCH] to toggle
the Notch function between auto, manual and
OFF.
• Either the Auto or Manual Notch function can be dis
-
abled in the Set mode. (p. 88)
➥
In the CW or RTTY mode, push [NOTCH] to turn
the Manual Notch function ON or OFF.
➥
In the FM mode, push [NOTCH] to turn the Auto
Notch function ON or OFF.
• “MNF” appears when the Manual Notch function is ON.
• “ANF” appears when the Auto Notch function is ON.
• No indicator appears when the notch filter is OFF.
• When the Manual Notch function is ON, hold down
[NOTCH] for 1 second to select the wide, mid, or nar-
row manual notch filter width.
■
Dial Lock function
The Dial Lock function prevents frequency changes by
accidental movement of [DIAL] by electronically lock-
ing it.
