പ്രധാന സവിശേഷതകളും പ്രവർത്തനങ്ങളും

• Filter Bandwidth Control: Allows precise adjustment of the receiver's bandwidth to optimize signal reception and reduce interference.
• RIT (Receiver Incremental Tuning): Enables fine-tuning of the receiver frequency independently of the transmit frequency, useful for off-frequency stations.
• Antenna Tuner: A built-in antenna tuner assists in matching the transceiver's output impedance to various antenna systems for optimal performance.
• Noise Blanker (NB): Effectively reduces pulse-type noise, such as ignition noise.
• Noise Reduction (NR): Advanced digital signal processing (DSP) for reducing general background noise, improving weak signal readability.
• Digital Notch Filter (DNF): Automatically or manually removes specific interfering tones from the received audio.
• Band and Mode Changes: Commonly used functions like changing the operating band and modulation mode are conveniently controlled via dedicated buttons, streamlining operation.
