Hints and Tips "Which type of conversion is used?"
• During the transmission:
The up-conversion configuration is always used in all modes and bandwidths. During the
transmission in SSB mode, the pass bandwidth is determined by the filter settings (digital filter of
the DSP) selected in the menu mode. The pass bandwidth of the filter in the analog stage is 6 kHz
and does not affect the final outcome of the frequency analysis.
• During the reception in AM or FM mode:
The up-conversion configuration is always used regardless of the frequency or pass bandwidth
settings.
• If WIDTH is switched from 500 Hz to 600 Hz during the reception in the 3.5 MHz band in CW
mode:
While the down conversion configuration is maintained, the roofing filter is switched from 500 Hz to
2.7 kHz.
• LO CUT is changed to 200 Hz when receiving in the 14 MHz band in SSB mode with LO CUT 300
Hz and HI CUT 3000 Hz:
Because the final pass bandwidth exceeds 2.7 kHz, the operation is switched from down-
conversion to up-conversion configuration.
• During the reception in the 50 MHz band in SSB mode with LO CUT 300 Hz and HI CUT 2700 Hz:
The up-conversion configuration is used. Though the pass bandwidth of the roofing filter is 15
kHz, the 2.7 kHz filter is selected at the second IF of 10.695 MHz.
Conversion Type
Down conversion (in 1.8
MHz, 3.5 MHz, 7 MHz,
14 MHz and 21 MHz
bands and if BW is no
more than 2700 Hz)
Up conversion (in other
than above conditions)
*1
In AM mode, the bandwidth at the IF stage is equal to the value as double as the value for HI CUT frequency at the AF stage.
