Using The Digital Twin Pbt - Icom IC-9700 Basic Manual

Using the Digital Twin PBT

SSB, CW, RTTY and AM modes
To reject interference, the Digital Twin PBT
(Passband Tuning) narrows the IF passband width
by electronically shifting the IF frequency to slightly
above or below the IF center frequency. The IC-
9700 uses the digital function using the FPGA (Field
Programmable Gate Array) filtering method.
L Each band memorizes the PBT setting.
1. Push [PBT] to select "PB1."
L Each push selects "PBT1" or "PBT2."
2. Rotate to adjust the shift value.

L The passband width and shift value are displayed.
L Hold down for 1 second to clear the PBT

setting.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to adjust the shift value for
"PBT2."
Information
L
• To narrow the IF passband width, shift "PBT1" and
"PBT2" to the opposite direction from each other, to
narrow the overwrapped area.
• To shift the IF left or right, set "PBT1" and "PBT2" to the
same value.
• The PBT is adjustable in 50 Hz steps in the SSB, CW,
and RTTY modes, and 200 Hz in the AM mode. In this
case, the center shift value changes in 25 Hz steps in
the SSB, CW, and RTTY modes, and 100 Hz in the AM
mode.
