Gradation Settings; Tuning Assist Line, Filter Passband Display And Frequency Marker - Kenwood TS-890S In-Depth Manual

Gradation Settings

In the waterfall display, the signal intensity is indicated using a color gradation of blue to green (weak), yellow to red
(medium) and white (strong). Variation of the color with the signal intensity can be configured in Menu 8-04 "Waterfall
Gradation Level". You can adjust the gradation for easier viewing or according to your preferences.

Tuning Assist Line, Filter Passband Display and Frequency Marker

During operation in the SSB mode, a Tuning Assist Line (yellow) can be displayed at a position that slightly away from
the RX frequency marker. Configure the Assist Line to 400 Hz to 500 Hz in the case of voice communication (near the
spectral peak frequency of standard human voice) and to the subcarrier frequency in the case of digital communication.
Aligning the Assist Line with the point on the spectrum of the waterfall display that has the strongest intensity makes it
easier for zeroing-in. The Assist Line can be configured in Menu 8-05 "Tuning Assist Line (SSB Mode)".
The filter passband appears as a translucent display on the bandscope. Among the signals that are visible within the
waterfall area, tuning can be performed easily by turning the main dial to overlap the next signal to receive with this
passband display. (The passband in the waterfall area is displayed only when the frequency is altered.)
Besides the RX and TX frequency markers that are constantly displayed, it is also possible to register up to 50 frequency
markers which can be displayed at any position. Registering the edge frequency of the band plan or that of the band for
use in contests helps to ease identification of the edge frequency on the bandscope.
