@ Meter
The meter monitors seven different functions, depending
on the METER switch position. In receive the meter is
automatically an S-meter, and shows received signal
strength on a scale of O ta 60 dB over 59. In transmit,
meter function depends on the position of the METER
switch, as described below. This is an average-responding
meter, NOT peak-reading.
@ > METER switch (T)
This determines the transmit meter function:
+ comp:
This indicates compression level when the speech pro-
cessor is operating. Do not exceed 10 dB compression.
* ALC {Automatic Level Controj}:
Monitors internal ALC voltage, or the ALC voltage feed-
back from a linear amplifier operated in conjunction with
the TS-930S. For SSB operation the ALC reading for
voice peaks should be within the indicated ALC range.
ALC voltage adjustment is made with the MIC control
for SSB and with the CAR control for CW.
In FSK or when the processor is operating, adjust ALC
with the PROCESSOR OUT control (41).
* POWER:
Indicates transmitter RF output power.
* SWR:
Indicates voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR).
«ic:
Indicates the power transistor collector current {IC).
Since the IC meter is adjusted to the values in the prox-
imity of the current value which is usually used, its in-
dication may not be correct when a weak current suth
as the idfing current is applied.
* ve:
Indicates the power transistor collector voltage (VC).
@ MIC {microphone gain) control (T)
This control adjusts microphone amplifier gain for SSB
operation. Adjust for an on-scale ALC reading on voice
peaks. For low-power operation, adjust this control below
the ALC range. ¥
@® CAR (carrer level} contro! (7)
This controls cartier level during CW operation. Adjust the
carrier level for an on-scale ALC meter reading. For low-
power operation, adjust this control below the ALC range.

© Frequency display
This custom two color gas display tube independently in-
dicates: Operating frequency to the 100 Hz place, and RIT
frequency, up to +/— 9.9 kHz offset. An analog-type dial
displays in 20 kHz steps.
By mode, the display indicates;
TUNE: Zero-beat frequency
CW, USB, LSB: Transmit cartier frequency.
AM: Filter center frequency.
FSK: Space frequency.
© Main Tuning knob
This flywheel-weight knob controls the dual digital VFO's,
which operate in 10 Hz step at 10 kHz/turn for normal
slow tuning. When the knob is spun fast, the tuning rate
automatically increases for fast OSY.
@ _ BAND switch
This selects one of the 10 HF amateur radio bands bet-
ween 1.9 MHz and 29.7 MHz. The 1 MHz step switches
(8) alow raising or lowering frequency in 1 MHz steps from
150 kHz to 29.9 MHz. WWV may be tuned at 5, 10, 15,
or 20 MHz.
Note:
As supplied, reception only is possible on the 10, 18, and
24.6 MHz bands.
