Doing this will alter the tone of the received signal. Passband tuning
as implemented in the Icom 746pro, moves the leading and/or trailing
edge of the passband without changing the pitch of the audio. That said
I use it infrequently. It is handy when one working on station for a
long time. But when frequency hoping during a sprint or contest it is
distracting.
