To reject interference, PBT (Passband Tuning) electron-
ically narrows the IF passband width by shifting the IF
frequency slightly outside of the IF fi lter passband. The
IC-7100 uses DSP for the PBT function. Moving both
TWIN-PBT ([M-CH/BANK] (L)) controls shifts the IF
passband center frequency both above and below the
received frequency.
The LCD graphically shows the passband width and ➥
frequency shift.
Touch the Filter icon for 1 second to display the “FIL- ➥
TER” screen. The current passband width and fre-
quency shift are displayed.
Hold down [CLR] ➥
(L) for 1 second to set the IF
frequency to the center position.
• The “dots” disappear.
The PBT is adjustable in 50 Hz steps in the SSB/CW/
RTTY modes, and 200 Hz in the AM mode.
When adjusting, the shift value changes in 25 Hz steps
in the SSB/CW/RTTY modes, and 100 Hz in the AM
mode.
• The TWIN-PBT controls should normally be set to
the center positions when there is no interference.
The PBT setting should be cleared.
• When the PBT is used, the audio tone may
change.
• The controls do not function in the FM, WFM and
DV modes.
• While rotating the TWIN-PBT ([M-CH/BANK]
(L))
controls, noise may occur. This comes from the
DSP unit and does not indicate an equipment mal-
function.
• Pushing [M-CH]]
(L) displays the fi lter passband
width and shift value for 1 second.
