AF Digital Signal Processing

DSP is also executed at the AF stage, offering Beat Cancel and CW Auto Tune functions. It also enables you to achieve remarkable noise reduction and apply custom enhancements to your transmitted voice.

Noise Reduction

There are 2 types of noise reduction: LEM (NR1) and SPAC (NR2). LEM (Line Enhancer Method) — available for all modes on the main band and FM/AM on the sub band — automatically forms a filter shape around the target signal for a custom, dynamic noise reduction capability. The degree of enhancement can also be set manually for main- band use. The SPAC (Speech

Manual Beat Cancel

A new Manual Beat Cancel function, which operates as a manual AF notch, can be used in all modes — though it is particularly effective in CW.

TX/RX equalizer (SSB/FM/AM), TX filter bandwidth (SSB/AM), and speech processor (SSB/FM/AM). The TX/RX equalizer offers 4 frequency response settings on SSB, FM and AM: high boost for improved clarity, formant pass to minimize extraneous sounds, bass boost for stronger sound, and conventional mode for an ‘analog’ sound. On SSB and AM transmit you can choose between 6 TX filter

bandwidth settings according to your microphone and operating requirements. The speech processor works

across three bands (SSB, FM and AM) for high compression and minimal distortion.
