In In 'Notch Filter', which mode does NOT support the Icom IC-7300MK2 Auto Notch function?


Answer: CW


Entry page https://www.gigaparts.net/sweepstakes/

Page thirty five of the BASIC MANUAL Reading https://www.icomamerica.com/api/d...8xLnBkZg==
Quote :
Auto Notch automatically attenuates beat tones,
tuning signals, and so on. It can be used in the SSB,
AM, and FM modes.
You need to use Manual Notch in CW mode because Auto Motch wouldn't know with tone to notch out.
