This button selects the bandwidth of the receiver first
IF Roofing Filter. Available selections are 3 kHz, 6
kHz, 15 kHz, or Auto. The selected bandwidth appears
in the FLT column of the Block Diagram Display on
the display.
A
DVICE
:
Because the roofing filter is in the first IF, the protec-
tion it provides against interference is quite significant.
When set to AUTO, SSB bandwidth is 6 kHz, CW is 3
kHz, FM and RTTY are 15 kHz. On a crowded SSB
band, however, you may wish to select the 3 kHz filter,
for the maximum possible interference rejection.
