Filter Bandwidth
The filter bandwidth depends on the type of signal to be transmitted and received. A default filter
bandwidth can be configured for each channel (if no particular filter is set for the current channel, the
radio retains the previously used filter). When a new type of call is received or sent, the bandwidth
filter changes automatically, depending on the PTT source (voice, data or CW), and the programmed
bandwidth for the channel being used.
Bandwidth set to: Service type: Filter changes after:
2.1 K Data First data PTT
2.7 K Voice First microphone or voice PTT
3.0 K Data First data PTT
3.3 K High speed data, vocoder,
or voice privacy device
First data PTT
CW Morse First CW PTT
LSM Low speed data First data PTT
Note
When the filter bandwidth is set to CW, the following CW bandwidths can be
configured in the Programming mode: 0.25 K, 0.5 K or 0.8 K.
