The
μ
-Tune filters are the most advanced, selective RF preselector filters ever incorporated into an Amateur Radio
transceiver. The RF selectivity provided by
μ
-Tune can be of tremendous value in ensuring quiet, intermod-free recep-
tion even in the most crowded bands on a contest weekend. The
μ
-Tune filters provide RF selectivity on the order of a
few dozen kHz at -6 dB, at the expense of a few dB of system gain on bands where noise figure is seldom an issue. You
will notice that the S-meter deflection, when
μ
-Tune is engaged, is slightly less than when it is out of the circuit; this is
normal. If your antenna system gain is so low that you cannot hear the band noise when
μ
-Tune is engaged (highly
unlikely), just switch it out, to eliminate the slight insertion loss.
As you tune around on an amateur band with
μ
-Tune engaged, the microprocessor automatically commands the stepper
motor driving the toroid core stack to center the filter on your current operating frequency. You may, however, use the
[
SELECT
(
μ
-TUNE
)] knob to skew the filter response to one side or the other from your operating frequency, to deal
with heavy interference on one side. To re-center the
μ
-Tune filter on your operating frequency, and eliminate any
offset, press the [
CLEAR
] button.

OTE
:
The permeability-tuning concept utilized in the
μ
-Tune circuit dates back many decades, as it was incorporated in such
classic transceivers as the
FT-101
, the
FT-901
series, the
FT
DX
400
, and similar models. The
μ
-Tuning Kit uses the same
circuit as our flag ship model the
FT
DX
9000
, which is the highest development of this circuit concept ever employed in an
Amateur transceiver.
