Using Cw Reverse - Yaesu FTDX9000D - DATA MANAGEMENT Operation Manual

If you experience a difficult interference situation, where an interfering station cannot readily be eliminated, you may wish
to try receiving using the opposite sideband. This may throw the interfering station's frequency in a direction that may lend
itself more readily to rejection.
To start, let's use a typical example where you have set
the CW mode (using the default "USB" injection) onto
the Main (VFO-A) receiver.
1. Now be sure your mode selection is still set for the
Main (VFO-A) register, and press the [ CW ] mode key
once more. The "LSB" LED will blink for three sec-
onds, indicating that the "LSB" injection side has now
been selected.
2 When using Dual Receive, just press the [ B ] Mode
key, then press the [ CW ] key to engage CW Reverse
on the Sub (VFO-B) receiver, in exactly the same was
as for the Main receiver.
3. Press the [ CW ] mode key once more to return to the
normal (USB) injection side and cancel CW Reverse
operation.

When CW Reverse is engaged, the Tuning Meter
action will concurrently be reversed as to its indi-
cation.
When the incoming signal pitch tone is properly
aligned, the central LED lights up whether or not
CW Reverse is engaged.

In the illustration, Figure A demonstrates the nor-
mal CW injection setup, using the USB side. In
Figure B, CW Reverse has been engaged, so as to
receive using LSB-side injection to eliminate in-
terference.
The beneficial effect of switching sidebands can
clearly be seen in this example.
