Adjusting The Audio Frequency (Af) Gain; Adjusting The Squelch; Selecting A Frequency; Sub-Receiver Panel Meter - Kenwood TS-2000 Instruction Manual

• Holding down the button changes the bands
continuously.
• If "MHz" is visible on the display, first press
[1MHz] to exit from the 1MHz Step Up/ Down
mode.

ADJUSTING THE AUDIO FREQUENCY (AF) GAIN

Turn the SUB AF control clockwise to increase the
audio level and counterclockwise to decrease the
level.
<TS-2000/ DIAGRAM 46-02>
Note: The position of the SUB AF control does not affect the volume
of beeps caused by pressing buttons. The audio level for Packet
operation is also independent of the SUB AF control setting.

ADJUSTING THE SQUELCH

Turn the SUB SQL control clockwise when no signals
are present, to select the squelch level at which
background noise is just eliminated. The SUB band
LED turns off when the squelch is ON.

SELECTING A FREQUENCY

When you operate both the main transceiver and the
sub-receiver at the same time, you will be in one of
the following conditions. First, check where the "PTT"
and "CTRL" icons are, on the display, then follow the
instructions below.
The "PTT" and "CTRL" icons are both on the MAIN
band display:
• Turn the RIT/ SUB control to adjust the sub-
receiver frequency.
"PTT" is on the SUB band display and "CTRL" is on
the MAIN band display:
• Turn the RIT/ SUB control to adjust the sub-
receiver frequency.
"PTT" is on the MAIN band display and "CTRL" is on
the SUB band display:
• Turn the RIT/ SUB control, the MULTI/ CH control,
or the MAIN control to adjust the frequency. Or,
directly enter the frequency using the numeric
keypad {page XX}. However, the input frequency
must be within the sub-receiver frequency range.
The frequency you selected may round up to the
nearest workable frequency step size {page XX}.
You cannot transmit on the sub-band frequency.

The "PTT" and "CTRL" icons are both on the sub-
receiver display:
• You can do all the above, plus transmit on the
SUB band frequency.
This transceiver provides many other methods for
selecting a frequency quickly. For further details,
refer to "SELECTING YOUR FREQUENCY" {page
37}.

SUB-RECEIVER PANEL METER

The multifunction meter measures the parameters
described in the table below. The S-meter appears
when in receive mode and the PWR meter appears
when in transmit mode. Peak readings for the S-
meter and PWR functions are held for momentarily.

Note: Peak Hold readings cannot be deactivated.
SELECTING A MODE FOR THE SUB-RECEIVER
First, confirm that the "CTRL" icon is on the SUB
band display. If it is not, press [SUB] or [CTRL] to
assign the function controls to the SUB band.
The SUB band can only be used to transmit in FM
mode and receive in FM or AM mode. Press [FM/
AM/ NAR] to toggle the operating mode for the sub-
receiver. The narrow bandwidth operation for FM or
AM is not available for the SUB band frequency.

FM CTCSS OPERATION

You can assign an independent CTCSS tone to the
sub-receiver. Refer to FM CTCSS OPERATION
{page 35} for function and control details.

FM DCS OPERATION

You can assign an independent DCS code to the sub-
receiver. Refer to FM DCS OPERATION {page 36}
for function and control details.

TONE FREQ. ID SCAN

This function scans through all the tone frequencies
in order to identify the incoming tone frequency on
the receiving signal of the sub-receiver. Refer to
TONE FREQ. ID SCAN {page 34} for function and
control details.

DCS CODE ID SCAN

This function scans through all the DCS codes in
order to identify the incoming DCS code on the
receiving signal of sub-receiver. Refer to DCS CODE
ID SCAN {page 36} for function and control details.
ATTENUATOR
The attenuator reduces the level of received signals.
It is useful when there is strong interference from an
adjacent frequency. Since the main transceiver and
sub-receiver share the same antenna for the
