IF SHIFT OPERATION
(
SSB/CW/RTTY/PKT/AM MODES
)
The IF Shift allows you to vary the DSP filter passband higher or lower, (without changing the pitch of the incoming signal)
to reduce or eliminate interference. Because the carrier tuning frequency is not varied, there is no need to re-tune the
operating frequency when using the IF Shift to eliminating the interference. The total passband tuning range for the IF Shift
system is ±1 kHz.
