[RF/SQL] (p. 3-19)
Rotate to adjust the RF gain and squelch threshold

The squelch removes noise output to the speaker
when no signal is received. (closed condition)
• The squelch is particularly effective for AM and FM, but
also works in other modes.
• The 12 to 1 o’clock position is recommended for the most
effective use of the [RF/SQL] control.
• [RF/SQL] operates as only an RF gain control in SSB,
CW and RTTY (Squelch is fixed open), or a squelch con-
trol in AM, FM, WFM and DV (RF gain is fixed at maxi-
mum sensitivity), when “Auto” is selected as the “RF/SQL

r MEMORY BANK CONTROL [BANK]
❍When both the PBT and RIT LEDs are OFF
Rotate to select a Memory bank.
❍When the PBT LED (y) lights green
(Mode: SSB/CW/RTTY/AM)
Rotate to adjust the receiver’s IF lter passband
width using the DSP circuit.
❍When the RIT LED (u) lights orange
Disable this control.
t M-CH CONTROL•CLEAR SWITCH [M-CH]•[CLR]
Push to select the action of the [M-CH/BANK] con-
trols as the Memory/Bank selection, PBT control or
RIT control.
❍When the both RIT and PBT LEDs are OFF
Rotate to select a Memory channel.
❍When the RIT LED lights orange
➥ Rotate to adjust the RIT frequency shift.
• The frequency shift range is ±9.99 kHz in 10 Hz
steps.The control tunes in 1 Hz steps when the op-
erating frequency readout is set to the 1 Hz step.
➥Hold down for 1 second to clear the RIT shift
frequency.
✔What is the RIT function?
The RIT (Receiver Incremental Tuning) shifts the re-
ceive frequency without shifting the transmit frequency.
This is useful for fine tuning stations calling you off-fre-
quency, or when you prefer to listen to slightly different-
sounding voice characteristics.
❍When the PBT LED lights green
(Mode: SSB/CW/RTTY/AM)
➥ Rotate to adjust the receiver’s IF lter pass-
band width using the DSP circuit.
➥
Hold down for 1 second to reset the PBT set-
tings.
• The PBT is adjustable in 50 Hz steps in the SSB/
CW/RTTY modes, and 200 Hz in the AM mode. At
that time, the shift value changes in 25 Hz steps in
the SSB/CW/RTTY modes, and 100 Hz in the AM
mode.
• The PBT controls function as an IF shift control.
✔What is the PBT control?
The PBT function electronically modifies the IF pass-
band width to reject interference. This transceiver uses
the DSP circuit for the PBT function.

❍PREAMP KEY Operation (p. 5-2)
(Frequency band: HF, 50/70 MHz)
Push to select one of two receive RF preampli-
fiers, or to bypass them.
• “P. AMP1” is a wide dynamic range preamplier. It is
most effective for the 1.8 to 21 MHz bands.
• “P. AMP2” is a high-gain preamplier. It is most effec-
tive for the 24 to 70 MHz bands.
• No indicator appears when the preampliers are not
selected.
✔What is the preamplifier?
The preamplifier amplifies signals in the front end
to improve the S/N ratio and sensitivity. Select “P.
AMP1” or “P. AMP2” when receiving weak sig-
nals.
(Frequency band: 144/430 MHz)

ing distorted when very strong signals are near it,
or when very strong electromagnetic fields, such
as from a broadcasting station, are near your lo-
cation.

CW pitch frequency +2540 Hz
AM: –5060 Hz to +5100 Hz
✔What is the notch filter?
The notch filter is a narrow filter that eliminates un-
wanted CW or AM carrier tones, while preserving
the desired voice signal. The DSP circuit automati-
cally adjusts the notch frequency to effectively elimi-
nate unwanted tones.
