34 SLICE RECEIVER
34.1 DEFINITION
A Slice Receiver is a software resource that represents an independent, full-performance, receiver.
Maestro can operate a maximum of two Slices at one time, with fully independent controls. Each
Slice is designated by a letter indicator which increments with each additional Slice.
34.2 CARRIER FREQUENCY
A Slice consists of a center Carrier Frequency displayed by a solid yellow or red/vertical bar. A
yellow bar indicates the Slice is “Active”, suggesting that this is the Slice that you are currently
manipulating. The Active Slice will have the control of radio features that are applied to Slice
Receivers.
34.3 RECEIVE FILTER
Surrounding the Carrier Frequency bar is a blue Receive Filter bar which
represents the filtered receive audio. The portion of the spectrum that is highlighted by the Receive
Filter bar will be output as audio.
The position of the Receive Filter relative to the Carrier Frequency will correspond to the selected
mode. A Receive Filter to the right of the Carrier indicates an Upper Sideband mode. A Receive
Filter to the left indicates a Lower Sideband mode. A Receive Filter that spans both the left and
right of the Carrier will indicate a double sideband mode.
The Receive Filter width can be adjusted manually by use of the associated bandwidth front panel
control. The lower frequency limit and higher frequency limit can be adjusted in several ways.
