Hi Clark,
Thanks for the information. This makes better sense than another reply I
had received. So if I understand you correctly, the later version has
two buttons for the 9 MHz filter selection that allow the following
three 9 Mhz filter combinations:
1) The 2.4 kHz wide standard 9 MHz filter only
2) The 2.4 kHz standard filter cascaded with number 1 optional narrow 9
MHz filter
3) The 2.4 kHz standard filter cascaded with number 2 optional narrow 9
MHz filter
When neither the N1 or N2 button is lighted, you are using mode 1, above.
And in the 6.3 MHz IF only three buttons are used to select between the
following four options:
1) The 2.4 kHz wide 6.3 MHz IF filter
2) The 1.8 kHz wide 6.3 MHz IF filter
3) The 0.5 kHz wide 6.3 MHz IF filter
4) The 0.25 kHz wide 6.3 MHz filter
The 6.3 MHz IF filters are never cascaded (not with other 6.3 MHz IF
filters, though there is always one of the three 9 MHz filter
combinations listed above being used) and when none of the 1.8, .50, .25
buttons is lighted you are then using the 2.4 kHz 6.3 MHz IF filter.
Of course all of the above assumes that all the optional filter slots
are filled, and the filters (excepting the 2.4 kHz 9 MHz IF standard
filter) could be different bandwidths than stated above.
Do I understand correctly?
Thanks again,
Ken
