OPERATION
FUNCTION SWITCH
The FUNCTION switch has three positions, MAIN
(TS-830S), VFO (remote VFO) and MEMO
(memory) for transmission and reception. Its used
is shown in TABLE 1.
NOTE:
VFO-230 is not equipped with the power
switch.
This VFO turns ON automatically when the
tranceiver power switch is turned ON after
cabling.

Table 1 FUNCTION Switch Operation
RIT CONTROL
By using the RIT control, the receive frequency can
be shifted by about ±900 Hz without changing the
transmit frequency.
If the frequency of the station you are working
changes, your receive frequency can be reset by
turning the RIT switch ON and adjusting the RIT
control.
NOTE:
The RIT shift is not displayed on the remote
VFO but it can be read on the TS-830S digital
display.
T-F SET SWITCH
Depress this switch and you will receive on the
transmit frequency without using the FUNCTION
switch. Use this feature during split frequency
operation. For example, when the FUNCTION
SWITCH IS SET AS SHOWN BELOW! IT IS
POSSIBLE TO RECEIVE ON THE REMOTE VFO
frequency by pressing the T-F SET switch.
This enables you to check or listen on the transmit
frequecny during receive operation.
The T-F SET switch is a non-locking (Momentary)
switch. When it is released, the transceiver is
automatically reset as selected by the FUNCTION
switch, thereby preventing misoperation. This
switch is also useful in quickly setting the optimum
transmit frequency for DX operation. The T-F SET
switch does not function during transmission.
