Frequency Adjustment Using The [Multi/Ch] Control; Rounding The Frequency; Configuring The Frequency Step Size Of The [Multi/Ch] Control; Switching The Am Broadcast Frequency In 9 Khz Steps - Kenwood TS-890S Instruction Manual

4 BASIC OPERATIONS

Frequency Adjustment Using the [MULTI/CH] Control

Turning the [MULTI/CH] control enables the frequency to be
changed quickly. The frequency increases or decreases in
increments based on the configured step size.
Turn the [MULTI/CH] control to increase or
decrease the frequency.
The default frequency per step is 1 kHz in the SSB mode,
0.5 kHz in the CW/ FSK/ PSK mode, 5 kHz in the AM mode and
10 kHz in the FM mode.

Rounding the Frequency

When the frequency is adjusted by turning the [MULTI/CH]
control, the new frequency is automatically rounded to the integer
multiple of the step size. Rounding of the frequency can also be
disabled.
Configure in Menu [3-00] "Frequency Rounding Off
(Multi/Channel Control)"
Setting Value Off/ On (default)
Configuring the Frequency Step Size of the
[MULTI/CH] Control
The frequency per step when the [MULTI/CH] control is turned
can be configured or changed to a different value for each mode.
SSB Mode
Configure in Menu [3-01] "SSB Mode Frequency
Step Size (Multi/Channel Control)"
Setting Value 0.5/ 1 (default)/ 2.5/ 5/ 10 [kHz]
CW/ FSK/ PSK Mode
Configure in Menu [3-02] "CW/FSK/PSK Mode
Frequency Step Size (Multi/Channel Control)"
Setting Value 0.5 (default)/ 1/ 2.5/ 5/ 10 [kHz]
FM Mode
Configure in Menu [3-03] "FM Mode Frequency Step
Size (Multi/Channel Control)"
5/ 6.25/ 10 (default)/ 12.5/ 15/ 20/ 25/ 30/ 50/ 100
Setting Value
[kHz]
AM Mode
Configure in Menu [3-04] "AM Mode Frequency Step
Size (Multi/Channel Control)"
5 (default)/ 6.25/ 10/ 12.5/ 15/ 20/ 25/ 30/ 50/ 100
Setting Value
[kHz]
4-6

Switching the AM Broadcast Frequency in 9 kHz Steps

In the BC band (medium frequency band) from 522 kHz to
1710 kHz and LF band (long frequency band) from 153 kHz to
279 kHz, the RX frequency can be adjusted in steps of 9 kHz by
turning the [MULTI/CH] control.
Configure in Menu [3-05] "9 kHz Step in AM
Broadcast Band (Multi/Channel Control)"
Setting Value Off (K type: default)/ On (E type: default)

Adjusting Frequency in MHz Steps

The frequency can be adjusted in units of MHz.
1 Press [MHz].
Pressing [MHz] each time toggles the MHz step function
between ON and OFF.
When the function is turned ON, <<
2 Turn the [MULTI/CH] control while the function is
turned ON.
The frequency increases or decreases according to the MHz
frequency step configured in Menu [3-06].

Configuring the Frequency Step Size in MHz

Configure in Menu [3-06] "MHz Step"
Setting Value 100/ 500/ 1000 (default) [kHz]

Direct Input of Frequency Value

If the desired frequency is far apart from the current frequency
value, the fastest way is to input the frequency value directly using
the numeric keypad.
1 Press [ENT].
A screen to input the frequency for the operable band appears
with all the frequency digits displayed as "-".
