FUNCTIONS FOR RECEIVE
■ Twin PBT operation
(Mode: SSB/CW/RTTY/AM )
To reject interference, PBT (Passband Tuning) elec-
tronically narrows the IF passband width by shifting the
IF frequency slightly outside of the IF filter passband.
The IC-9100 uses DSP for the PBT function. Moving
both [TWIN-PBT] controls shift the IF passband cen-
ter frequency both above and below the received fre-
quency.
➥ The LCD graphically shows the passband width and
frequency shift.
➥ Hold down [FILTER] for 1 second to display the “FIL”
screen (Filter). Current passband width and fre-
quency shift are displayed in the “FIL” screen.
➥ Hold down [PBT-CLR] for 1 second to set the IF
frequency to the center position.
