I don't understand this, lots of current rigs use VBT. It is quite a nice
feature compared with PBT. VBT allows you to narrow the overall bandwidth
from the front panel (slope tuning on the kenwood rigs). PBT does a
similar thing from only one side of the slope. It can work effectively
with narrow filters, but for SSB the VBT is much more effective for big
QRM conditions.
