The RF
μ
Tuning Kit provides ultra-sharp RF selectivity for the front end of the transceiver. Very high Q is made possible
by the narrow-band design. Three RF
μ
Tuning Kits are available. The
MTU-160
covers the 1.8 MHz band. The
MTU-80/
40
covers the 3.5 and 7 MHz bands. The
MTU-30/20
covers 10.1 and 14 MHz bands.
When any (or all) of the three optional units are connected, they will be automatically adjusted to center on your operating
frequency.
The narrow bandwidth is especially useful on the low bands, when many strong signals are being received via NVIS
propagation (Near Vertical-Incidence Signals) within a narrow bandwidth. The added protection for the RF stage is espe-
cially helpful in preventing IMD and blocking.
