The IF shift function electronically changes the pass-

band frequency of the IF (intermediate frequency)

and cuts out higher or lower frequency components

of the IF to reject interference. The function shifts the

IF frequency up to ±1.2 kHz in 15 Hz steps in

SSB/CW/RTTY modes and up to ±250 Hz in 3 Hz

steps in CW-ã/RTTY-ã modes. The IF shift is not

available in FM and AM modes.

q Adjust the [SHIFT] control for a minimum interfer-

ence signal level.

•The audio tone may be changed while the IF shift is in

use.

w Set the shift control to its center position when

there is no interference.

• Graphic display

The IF shift is displayed graphically (for about 1 sec.)

each time the shift control is rotated.

■ RIT function

The RIT (Receive Incremental Tuning) function com-

pensates for off-frequencies of communicating sta-

tions. The function shifts the receive frequency up to

±9.99 kHz in 10 Hz steps without moving the transmit

frequency. “21 SUB DIAL” item in initial set mode

must be set to RIT mode in advance. (p. 79)

q Push [RIT].

•The [RIT] indicator lights red.

w Rotate the [M-CH] control to cancel the off-fre-

quencies.

• The transmit frequency is not shifted.

e To cancel the RIT function, push [RIT] again.

• The [RIT] switch indicator goes out.

• Calculate function

The shift frequency of the RIT function can be

added/subtracted to the displayed frequency.

While the RIT indicator is lit, push and hold [RIT] for

1 sec.

NOTE:

The RIT function is not available in FM or

AM modes regardless of the Initial Set mode set-

ting. (p. 79)
