Twin Peak Filters TPF
Now the 7600, 7700 and 7200 TPF filters work in default mode as in the picture, simply awfull ...
... compared to this picture as it was before on the 756PROIII and worked like this ...
Better to stay on 756PROIII if you even tried FSK RTTY.
It's awful that they went back and reengineered the Twin Peak Filter so badly as now it is unusefull by default.
BTW to have it on such old way you may learn to fiddle the filter selection button two times to go tight and then two times again to go back on the largest filter.
Tight filter is OK for QSO with weak signals or during contests, large filter is useful for S&P and DX searching ... 1/1 button pushes with the 756PROIII to go forth and back; 3/3 button pushes with the newest radios. Not to speak, on the same new radios, about the badly displaced TPF button. TPF was a marvel, now is awful and ugly.
Have fun with the radio
