Transmission Digital Meter; Filter Scope - Kenwood TS-890S In-Depth Manual

Transmission Digital Meter

During transmission, some situations need to be checked not just for the transmit power, but also for the ALC status and
the SWR status. In these cases, the methods are selecting the digital meter type for the meter displayed on the top-left,
or previously selecting the analog meter type and making the transmission digital meter appear.
The part in the oval in the diagram above is the transmission digital meter. The ALC meter is the top part, and the SWR
meter is the bottom part. The meter of the bottom part can be switched such as to the compression meter (during use of
the speech processor). At this time, the transmit power is displayed on the analog meter side.
The transmission digital meter is toggled on or off in Menu 0-12 "TX Digital Meter". In addition, the transmission digital
meter is not displayed when the meter on the top-left is the digital meter type.

Filter Scope

The filter scope is on the top-right in the display. The filter scope allows you to check the configuration statuses related
to the reception filter (such as the cutoff frequency of the IF filter, the passband width, the bandwidth of the roofing filter,
and the CW pitch frequency), and to also confirm the relationship between the target signal and interference signals in
the passband by not only listening but also by viewing because the audio signal which passes through the reception
filter is displayed as a spectrum.
The indication of the notch filter center frequency is added when the notch filter function is on, and the notch frequency
can be adjusted with the [NOTCH] knob while viewing the status of the interference signal attenuation using the notch
filter.
