AF-stage Digital Signal Processing

Interference Reduction

AF-stage digital signal processing provides extensive control over received signals by identifying and filtering interference using digital algorithms. This results in interference reduction capabilities simply not attainable with analog designs. In addition, the new NR1 system is operator-adjustable in 9-step increments, or it can be assigned to track input signal strength automatically. Both the NR1 and NR2 settings now track when changing mode groups

(eg. SSB/AM/FM to CW/FSK). The new Dual Selectable Beat

Cancel (BC) function also works against inter- mittent beat interference (except in CW mode).

In SSB/AM/FM modes you can select a Hi/Low cut DSP slope tune using up to 441 possible combinations. In CW and FSK, the DSP acts as a VBT (Variable Band Tuning) that alters passband width, for rejection of nearby signals. The super-narrow CW filter (50 Hz) enables effective filtering even during very crowded conditions, with its center frequency tied to the pitch frequency so they track together. The G model also incorporates 3 new CW DSP filters: 80 Hz, 150 Hz, 500 Hz, for a total of 11 user-selectable filters. You can now also use the “One-touch” DSP filter wide mode to instantly check band conditions when oper- ating in narrow mode.

When used in conjunc- tion with the equalizer, the CW filter reduces ringing to almost undetectable levels.

There are also 3 optional fil-

ters that can be easily installed (one at a time) to acquire various IF filter bandwidth selections (see optional accessories). The DSP also pro- vides 2 types of noise reduction — the Line Enhancer Method (NR1) for SSB/AM and the
