ROOFING Switch
This button selects the bandwidth for the Main band
(VFO-A) receiver’s first IF Roofing Filter. Available
selections are 3 kHz, 6 kHz, 15 kHz, or Auto, and the
LED indicator will change according to the bandwidth
selected.

DVICE
:
Because the roofing filter is in the first IF, the protec-
tion it provides against interference is quite signifi-
cant. When set to AUTO, the SSB bandwidth is 6 kHz,
while CW is 3 kHz and FM/RTTY are 15 kHz. On a
crowded SSB band, however, you may wish to select
the 3 kHz filter, for the maximum possible interfer-
ence rejection.
