RECEIVE FUNCTIONS
■
Twin PBT operation
The twin PBT (Passband Tuning) function electroni-
cally narrows the IF passband widths to reduce inter-
ference. Moving both [TWIN PBT] controls to the
same position shifts the IF.
Variable range depends on the filter selection. ±1.29
kHz in 15 Hz steps and ±258 kHz in 3 Hz steps are
available.
PBT OPERATION EXAMPLE
• [TWIN PBT] should normally be set to the center
positions when there is no interference.
• When PBT is used, the audio tone may be
changed.
• PBT may not function with some IF filter combina-
tions.
• Not available for FM mode.

Noise blanker
The noise blanker eliminates pulse-type noise such
as from car ignitions. The noise blanker is not avail-
able for FM mode.
➥
Push the [NB] switch to turn the noise blanker ON
or OFF.
• When using the noise blanker, received signals
may be distorted if they are excessively strong.
• The noise blanker function in AM mode can be
deactivated depending on set mode setting. (p.
