I connected the input to my VFO running around 9 MHz. For 20 meter signals, I select the &#8220;up&#8221; option; the San JIan counter just adds the IF frequency to the VFO Frequency. For example 9 + 5.2397 = 14.2397 MHz . For 75, I select the &#8220;down&#8221; option. Here the San Jian just subtracts the IF frequency from the VFO frequency &#8212; for example 9 &#8211; 5.2397 = 3.7603 MHz. <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span face=\"Roboto, Arial, sans-serif\" style=\"color: #030303; font-family: inherit;\"><b>The band select switch operates relays that select the proper band-pass and low-pass filters.
