Anyone who has a scrapped Yaesu / Sommerkamp HF rig from

The IF is not tunable. It's fixed at 9MHz. It's the VFO that covers
5.0 to 5.5MHz.



My FT560 has a tunable IF of 5.520 to 6.020MHz IF is 3.180MHz
-sidebands would be the wrong way round .

I've only had a quick look, but it looks like the first IF is a fixed
5.520 to 6.020MHz (wideband bandpass filter) - ie a sort-of roofing
filter, and not tuneable.
