c. Notch: There are two notch systems on your IC-
746PRO.
•Automatic: The automatic notch will track up to three
heterodynes. This is helpful for eliminating annoying
transmitter “tune up” tones on any band, and to min-
imize continuous tone “heterodynes” encountered on
the 40 meter phone bands at night, for example.
Once selected an icon will appear “A NOTCH” on
the display.
•Manual: The Manual notch provides 70 dB of atten-
uation to pin point an interfering signal. The 12 o’-
clock position is on the operating frequency, turning
the Notch knob clockwise moves the notch up the
band and counter clockwise will move the notch
down the band. Once selected an icon “NOTCH” will
appear on the display.
NOTE: Your IC-7400 is equipped with multiple
AGC circuits. This allows the DSP to filter out inter-
fering signals and QRM, while also taking this in-
terference out of the AGC. Bottom line, this will ei-
ther eliminate or greatly reduce the pumping of the
AGC from the interfering signal.
