    Ultra-strong Receiver Front End YAESU’s outstanding RF-stage filtering establishes a clean performance that allows the rest of the receiver to perform at a high level. By reducing the ingress of energy from very strong sources like Shortwave Broadcast, local AM/FM/TV stations, and other signal sources, the overall purity of the spectrum delivered to the RF Amplifier first mixer, and subsequent stages is maintained, and the system Blocking Dynamic Range is also enhanced.
  • Page 11 VRF ( Variable RF Filter ) Preselector Filter ( Page 58 ) Yaesu’s robust VRF (Variable RF Filter) preselector provides a relay-selected RF selectivity much tighter than that afforded by tradi- tional bandpass filter networks. Sealed relays select heavy-duty inductors and capacitors, providing a tracking RF filter that protects the RF amplifier and following stages from strong out-of-band energy.
