User manual ICOM IC-P2AT-ET

[. . . ] For radio communications, the antenna is of critical importance, along with sensitivity. · IF SHIFT The IF shift function is effective in SSB mode for reducing interference from nearby signals. It does so by electronically shifting the passband of the IF filter. · REAL-TIME BANDSCOPE FUNCTION The real-time bandscope function makes it easy to find busy frequencies and also easy to observe receive frequency band conditions. The maximum band width is ±200 kHz. [. . . ] Contact your nearest Icom Dealer or Service Center for regarding optimum antenna locations. The antenna connector type is BNC, so an adapter may be necessary to connect an optional antenna. 2 COMM ICATIO iC- pc NS RE r100 CEIVE R 0 UN INSTALLATION 1 I AF output level selection The received audio can be input into your computer via the sound card.
