Dual Conversion

A dual conversion receiver filters the incoming radio signal from the transmitter through two separate and distinct electronic filters. This “double filtering” helps the receiver to ignore unwanted signals that are close to the frequency being used. This is NOT protection against another transmitter sending a signal on the SAME frequency. Instead, it is protection against other transmitters transmitting on frequencies that are close to the one being used.
