[1000mp] RTTY filter menus

Sat, 1 Jun 2002 17:12:43 -0400

I recently added user-defined "Filter Groups" for the FT-1000MP and FT-1000
MarkV to Commander, a transceiver control application. You could for example
define "Wide", "Narrow", and "Sharp" Filter Groups, where 2nd IF, 3rd IF,
and sub-receiver bandwidths are each set as you see fit; Filter Group
entries are mode-specific, so selecting the Sharp group while in RTTY could
set the 2nd IF to 250 hz, but selecting the Sharp group while in LSB could
set the 2nd IF to 1800 hz.  There is no practical limit to the number of
Filter Groups you can define. You select a Filter Group with a single mouse
gesture in a ComboBox control. Commander's 20 memories each save the Filter
Groups setting active at the time the memory was set.

Filter Groups augment the direct filter control -- like that of K6SE's
MPFilters program -- already supported in Commander.

Commander is free, and available via www.qsl.net/dxlab .

No problem at all to use NOR/NAR1/NAR2 for RTTY!

NOR means 2.4 kHz, NAR1 is 2.0 kHz and NAR2 is 250 Hz.

I think Yaesu made a mistake with the bandwidth for RTTY. Much better would
be: NOR: 2.0, NAR1: 500, NAR2: 250. I really don't understand why Yaesu
did'nt do it this way. There is a difference between the manual and the
technical overview! In the technical overview on page 8, table 1-3 they did
a much better job. Unfortunately the job was only written and not
implemented.

I have several INRAD-filters installed (1 x 2.8, 2 x 2.1, 2 x 400 Hz and 1 x
250 Hz) and menu 5-4 is set to 8.2. So in my case NOR is 2.65 kHz, NAR1 is
2.1 kHz and NAR2 is 400 Hz.

Just look in your manual at page 46 and page 102.

However... With the modern TNC's (such as the SCS PTC-IIpro) or with a
soundcard the bandwidth is not important anymore. The DSP of the
TNC/soundcard handles with the signal, independent of the bandwidth. With
the new Pactor III mode it is even impossible to use narrow bandwidth!

Don't hesitate to send me a message when you have more questions or remarks
about this subject. It has my greatest interest.
