illuminated front panel buttons. Classically Designed Main Dial &
Knobs
The FT 450D is equipped with classically designed Main Dial
and Knobs giving it the desirable "Big Radio" feel. 400 MHz built-in IF
DSP
Fast and robust IF DSP processing! IF Roofing Filter
The
FT-450D includes a 10 kHz bandwidth Roofing Filter in the 67.899 MHz 1st
IF, right after the 1st Mixer. This filter provides narrow-band
selectivity to protect the following IF and DSP stages – a feature
rarely found in rigs in this price range! IF Shift & Width
The FT-450D IF Width and IF Shift features are the primary tools you will use for best interference reduction.
After
narrowing the bandwidth (Width) and/or adjusting the center of the
passband (Shift), the Contour control (see details of this feature
below) may also yield additional signal-enhancement benefits on the net
residual bandwidth. What’s more, the IF Notch Filter (see details of
this feature below) may also be utilized in conjunction with the three
other filter systems to significant advantage.
The IF WIDTH tuning
system allows you to vary the width of the DSP IF passband to eliminate
interference. Moreover, the bandwidth may actually be expanded from its
default setting, should you wish to enhance incoming signal fidelity
when interference on the band is low. The IF WIDTH is varied in steps:
SSB - 1.8/2.4/3.0 kHz. AM - 3.0/6.0/9.0 kHz. FM - 2.5/5.0. CW -
0.5/1.8/2.4 kHz. kHz.
The IF SHIFT tuning system allows you to vary
the DSP filter passband higher or lower, without changing the pitch of
the incoming Signal to reduce or eliminate interference. Because the
carrier tuning frequency is not varied, there is no need to re-tune the
operating frequency when eliminating the interference. The total
passband tuning range for the IF Shift system is ±1 kHz. Rotate the
[SHIFT] knob to the left or right to reduce the interference. You may
observe the position of the passband in the “SHIFT” indicator of the DSP
Graphic Display portion of the LCD front panel main display. Contour
The Contour filtering system provides a gentle shaping of the IF filter
pass band to suppress or enhance particular frequency components, thus
improving the sound and/or readability of a received signal. The DSP
Contour filter is a unique capability of the receiver, providing either
Nulling or Peaking of tunable segments of the receiver passband to
suppress interference or excessive frequency components on an incoming
signal, or to peak those tunable frequency segments. The amount of
Nulling / Peaking and the bandwidth over which it is applied are
adjustable via the Menu. The peak position of the contour filter is
graphically depicted in the “CONTOUR” indicator of the DSP Graphic
Display portion of the LCD front panel main display. SPECIAL FILTERING
NOTE: The steep slopes of the DSP filtering can, when adjusted
aggressively, impart an unnatural sound to an incoming signal. Often, a
narrow bandwidth is not the key to improving copy. The incoming signal
itself may have undesirable or excessive frequency components. By
judicious use of the Contour filter, the “shoulder” of the passband
response may be altered, or components removed from within the passband,
allowing the desired signal to rise above the background noise and
interference in a manner not obtainable with other filtering systems. IF
Notch
The IF Notch filter is a highly effective system that allows
you to slice out an interfering beat note or other carrier signal from
inside the receiver passband. You may observe the graphically depicted
peak position of the IF Notch filter in the “NOTCH” indicator of the DSP
Graphic Display portion of the LCD front panel main display. DNR -
Digital Noise Reduction
The Digital Noise Reduction (DNR) feature
utilizes eleven (11) different mathematical algorithms to analyze and
suppress different noise profiles encountered on the HF/50 MHz bands.
You get to choose the selection that provides the best noise
suppression. The DSP’s Digital Noise Reduction (DNR) system is designed
to reduce the level of random noise found on the HF and 50 MHz bands. It
is especially effective during SSB operation. Any of eleven different
noise-reduction algorithms can be selected. Each of these algorithms was
created for dealing with a different noise profile. You will want to
experiment with the DNR system to find the best setting according to the
noise currently being experienced that concurrently will allow the
signal to rise up out of the noise. Manual Notch Filter
The FT-450D Manual Notch Filter is a highly-effective system that slices out an interfering beat tone/signal Clarifier
Lots of receiver frequency verstility provided by an easy to engage Clarifier IPO/ 20 dB ATT Built-in
The FT 450D includes all the gain you will need all the way up to
50MHz. For lower HF bands where too much gain can lead to receiver
issues, you can easily adjust the gain from the front panel. TX Watch
Monitor
When in split frequency mode, depressing the TXW button
lets you listen to the frequency you have selected for transmitting.
