[Yaesu] bandpass setting for FT-920

Wed, 11 Feb 2004 14:14:13 -0000

Clair,

Yhe FT-920 has two ways to set bandpass...

1) With the filters...this is accomplished by selecting "Narrow" setting.
However this only works if you have the optional filters installed.

2) With DSP. On th eirght side press the DSP button and it will light up.
Now, move the LOW CUT and HIGH CUT knobs toward the center of the scale. You
have a bar scale just above the VFO-A frequency, If the DSP is OFF then this
bar will be full width. With the DSP ON the bar will narrow based on how
much you narrow the bandwidth. As you approach the center setting on the DSP
knobs, you will note this bar closing toward the center of the scale. This
means you are making your passband more narrow. You can use the DSP settings
to reject adjacent signals.

Good luck..
