Operation; Muting The Sub-Receiver; Split Transfer B - Kenwood TS-890S Instruction Manual

16 OTHER FUNCTIONS

Operation

1 Transfer the TX frequency and mode information
during split operation from the TX/RX end to the
sub-receiver end.
By pressing [SPLIT] at the TX/RX end to switch to the split
mode, the TX frequency and mode information is transferred
to the VFO of the sub-receiver and enables the TX frequency
to be received by the sub-receiver.
Subsequently, when there is a change in the TX frequency at
the TX/RX end, the new TX frequency information will be
transferred automatically, and the RX frequency at the sub-
receiver will be adjusted accordingly. Below are some
examples.
• When the TX frequency is changed using the XIT function
• When the RX band and TX band are changed at the same
time using the Band Direct key ("RX/ TX Band" needs to be
selected in advance in Menu [3-13] "Band Direct Keys in
Split Mode".)
• When the split TX frequency is changed via operation of the
[RIT/XIT] control ("TX Frequency Offset while RX" needs to
be selected in advance in Menu [3-12] "Split Frequency
Offset by RIT/XIT Control".)
2 Change the RX frequency and mode that are
transferred from the TX/RX end at the sub-receiver
end.
The frequency and mode that are transferred to the sub-
receiver end can be adjusted independently without affecting
the value at the TX/RX end.
To restore the state where the frequency matches with the TX
frequency at the TX/RX end, press [SPLIT] at the TX/RX end
to reactivate the split function.
3 Transfer the frequency detected at the sub-receiver
end to the TX frequency at the TX/RX end.
Pressing [<Q-M.IN] at the sub-receiver end transfers the
current frequency and mode information to the TX VFO at the
TX/RX end.
Upon transmission from the TX/RX end, the sub-receiver
●
switches to the standby mode.
The transceiver at the sub-receiver end is inhibited from
●
transmission.
When XIT at the TX/RX end is ON, the XIT frequency is
●
added to the frequency to be transferred.
When RIT at the sub-receiver end is ON, the RIT
●
frequency is added to the frequency to be transferred.
The transceiver at the TX/RX end is unable to receive
●
the frequency and mode information from the sub-
receiver if it is not configured to the split mode.
The transceiver at the TX/RX end is able to receive the
●
frequency and mode information from the sub-receiver
even when it is in the frequency lock mode.

Muting the Sub-receiver

The RX audio at the sub-receiver can be muted by the TX/RX end.
1 Assign "Mute (Sub Receiver)" to a PF key at the TX/
RX end.
2 Press PF [Mute (Sub Receiver)].
The RX audio at the sub-receiver end is muted.
• Pressing the PF [Mute (Sub Receiver)] key again unmutes
the RX audio.

Split Transfer B

This function supports the "split transfer" function on models
before the TS-890S. It allows existing users of the "split transfer"
function to continue using it after changing to TS-890S.
Follow the steps below to operate this transceiver. To combine the
use of a transceiver other than this transceiver, please refer to the
instruction manual of the model to be used.
Using TS-890S at the Sub-receiver End (Master)
1 Turn ON Split Transfer B.
Select "B" in Menu [7-04] "Quick Data Transfer".
2 Tune to the frequency of the party to communicate
with in the VFO mode.
Operate the Tuning control to tune to the frequency of the party
to communicate with.
3 Transfer the frequency and mode information to the
TX/RX end.
Pressing [<Q-M.IN] saves the frequency and mode information
to channel 0 of the quick memory and transfers it to quick
memory channel 0 or VFO at the TX/RX end.
Using TS-890S at the TX/RX End (Slave)
1 Turn ON Split Transfer B.
Select "B" in Menu [7-04] "Quick Data Transfer".
2 Configure whether frequency and mode
information transferred from the sub-receiver is to
be received by the quick memory channel or VFO.
Select "VFO" or "Quick Memory" in Menu [7-05] "Overwrite
Location (Quick Data Transfer)".
3 Receive frequency and mode information from the
sub-receiver.
Upon receiving frequency and mode information that are
transferred from the sub-receiver, channel 0 of the quick
memory or VFO is updated according to the setting in step 2.
Configure the 2 transceivers that are connected to each
●
other to the same COM connector baud rate.
To prevent malfunction, reboot both transceivers after
●
configuring the settings.
When using this transceiver as a sub-receiver, configure
●
Menu [6-03] "TX Inhibit" to "On" to prevent erroneous
transmission.
The transceiver at the TX/RX end is able to receive the
●
frequency and mode information from the sub-receiver
even when it is in the frequency lock mode.
