Switching The Scope Display Mode; Switching The Display Frequency Span; Marker Shift; Shifting The Marker - Kenwood TS-890S Instruction Manual

Switching the Scope Display Mode

1 Display the bandscope screen.
2 Press F2 [S.MODE].
• If F2 [S.MODE] is not displayed, press F1 [MORE] to display
F2 [S.MODE].
Pressing F2 [S.MODE] each time switches the selection to
"Auto Scroll Mode", "Fixed Mode" and "Center Mode" in
sequence.
Auto Scroll Mode (AUTO SCROLL MODE)
Moves the marker of the tuning frequency to within the scope
range. If the lower or upper limit of the display range is
exceeded, the scope range is automatically scrolled by half a
screen.
Fixed Mode (FIXED MODE)
Moves the marker of the tuning frequency to within the scope
range preconfigured for each amateur band. Up to 3 scope
ranges can be preconfigured for one amateur band.
Center Mode (CENTER MODE)
The marker of the tuning frequency is normally fixed at the
center.

Switching the Display Frequency Span

When the bandscope is displayed in the Auto Scroll mode or
Center mode, the display frequency span (the width between the
lower and upper frequency limits in the bandscope screen) can be
adjusted.
Press F3 [SPAN].
• If F3 [SPAN] is not displayed, press F [MORE] to display F3
[SPAN].
Pressing F3[SPAN] each time switches the frequency span.
5kHz/ 10kHz/ 20kHz/ 30kHz/ 50kHz/ 100kHz/
Setting Value
200kHz/ 500kHz
• The display frequency span can be configured separately for
audio mode (SSB/AM/FM), DATA mode (SSB-DATA/AM-
DATA/FM-DATA), and nonaudio mode (CW/FSK/PSK).
• The default settings of the audio mode (including DATA
mode) and non-audio mode are "50kHz (± 25kHz)" and
"10kHz (± 5kHz)" respectively.
• Pressing and holding F3[SPAN] each time switches the
options in the reverse sequence.
• The selected display frequency span is displayed in the
toolbar of the bandscope screen as "SPAN 50kHz", for
example.

Marker Shift

This function shifts the scope range in the auto scroll mode
operation so that the marker is displayed at an easy to observe
position.

Shifting the Marker

Press F4 [SHIFT].
• If F4 [SHIFT] is not displayed, press F [MORE] to display
F4 [SHIFT].
The marker shifts close to the preset shift position (default value
is center).
Depending on the relationship between the RX
●
frequency and the span, deviation of 1 grid to the left or
right may occurred in the shift operation.

Changing the Shift Position of Marker Shift

1 Press and hold F4 [SHIFT].
• If F4 [SHIFT] is not displayed, press F [MORE] to display
F4 [SHIFT].
The transceiver enters the shift position configuration mode.
The value indicating the position of the selected vertical grid
line is displayed.
2 Move the shift position to the desired position using
the [MULTI/CH] control.
• Pressing and holding F4 [SHIFT] moves the shift position to
the center.
3 Press F4 [SHIFT].
The transceiver exits the shift position configuration mode.
When observing the condition of the frequency calling
●
the DX station or the condition in the RX passband
during digital communication such as FT8, change the
shift position of the marker to display the RX frequency
marker at the edge. Doing so widens the width for
displaying the signal compared to when the marker is
near the center.
The shift position of marker shift can be set respectively
●
for SSB/FM/AM mode, DATA mode, and CW/FSK/PSK
mode.
