  IF Filter A and B
 
This transceiver has 2 built-in IF fi lters:  A and 
B.  The IF Filter settings are stored with the last 
settings of the LO/WIDTH and HI/SHIFT controls.
 
Press [IF FIL] to toggle between IF Filter setting A 
and B (each VFO A and VFO B).
• “

and “
” appears when IF fi lter setting B is 
selected.
DSP FILTERS
KENWOOD digital signal processing (DSP) 
technology is adapted to this transceiver.  Using DSP 
fi ltering (AF), you can control the bandwidth, cancel 
the multiple jamming beat, and reduce the noise level.
CHANGING THE DSP FILTER BANDWIDTH
For improving interference reduction capability, this 
transceiver also provides IF fi lters designed using 
DSP technology.  To change the passband of the fi lter, 
you can use the method of changing the high and 
low cut-off frequency (HI/LOW cut), or you can use 
the method of changing the bandwidth and center 
frequency (WIDTH/SHIFT).  Changing the IF fi lter 
does not affect the current receive frequency.
•  The meter display changes, based on the 
bandwidth you are setting up.
  SSB/ FM/ AM Mode (High cut/Low cut)
1  Select SSB, FM, or AM mode.
2 Turn 
the 
LO/WIDTH control clockwise to raise 
the low cut-off frequency, or counterclockwise to 
lower the low cut-off frequency.
