The Auto Notch filter automatically locates and attenuates any single interfering tone within the receive pass band. This function operates digitally at the IF filter level, hence it can affect your S-meter reading and may also affect (slightly attenuate) your desired signal. However, controlling the AGC level by notching out the strong interfering beat signals could bring up the desired SSB signal that is covered by the interfering beat signal. If the interfering tone is weak, you may find that Beat Cancel eliminates them more effectively.

Two types of Beat Cancel DSP filters are available. Beat Cancel 1 (BC1) is effective for removing a weak beat or continuous beat signals. Beat Cancel 2 (BC2) is effective for removing intermittent beat signals, such as CW signals.

This transceiver provides 2 types of Noise Reduction functions (NR1 and NR2) for reducing random noise which interferes with the desired signal.

NR1 differs, depending on the reception mode. When receiving a voice call in SSB/ FM/ AM mode, noise reduction uses a spectrum subtraction system. When receiving a non-voice call in CW/ FSK mode, noise reduction uses a LMS adaptive filter which emphasizes the periodic signal.

NR2 uses a SPAC format, which extracts a periodic signal from within the received signal.

Press [NR (LEV)] to cycle between NR1, NR2, and OFF.
