Fancy Name for tone control. When you turn it on it will make your receive more bass. it cuts out the highs.

so its not like a true receive mod where it cuts down the hash noise.

Eeeh kinda...it basically cuts high pitch noise or hash..it works but its not a true filter per say.

Would I be able to have someone mod it so its better?
