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 reception 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 as to make it impossible to hear
band noise when
μ
-Tune is engaged (highly unlikely), just switch it out or revert to the VRF system, which has
slightly less insertion loss.
P
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 (the tuning
resolution is 5 kHz). You may, however, use the [
VRF/
μ
] 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 and hold in the [
VRF/
μ
] switch for two seconds.
P
While
μ
-Tune is a superior RF preselection circuit, it may be disabled via the Menu; if this is done, the VRF
circuit will engage when the [
VRF/
μ
] switch is pressed. To disble
μ
-Tune, go to Menu item “
GENERAL 043
μ
TUNE DIAL STEP
” and set the selection to “OFF.”

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 and FT-901 series, in addition to the FT
DX
400 and similar models. The
μ
-Tune
circuit in the
FT
DX
9000MP
is the highest development of this circuit concept ever employed in an Amateur trans-
ceiver.
