DSP RX EQUALIZER

EQUALIZING RECEIVING AUDIO

Use Menu No. 31 to change the receiver frequency
responses of the target signal. You can select one
from 8 different receiver profiles including the default
flat response. Selecting any of the following items
from the Menu causes "
display.
• Off (oFF):
Slightly attenuates (1 kHz or higher audio
frequencies).
• High boost 1 (hb1):
Emphasizes higher audio frequencies.
• High boost 2 (hb2):
Emphasizes higher audio frequencies but lower
audio frequency attenuation is less than High
boost1 (hb1).
• Formant pass (FP):
Improves clarity by suppressing audio frequencies
outside the normal voice frequency range.
• Bass boost 1 (bb1):
Emphasizes lower audio frequencies.
• Bass boost 2 (bb2):
Emphasizes lower audio frequencies but higher
audio frequency attenuation is less than Bass
boost1 (bb1).
• Flat (FLAT):
The flat frequency response.
• User (U):
Reserved for the ARCP software. Off is
programmed at the factory as a default.

RX MONITOR

RX monitor temporarily disables the squelch function
to monitor the current frequency activities.
To use the RX Monitor function, first assign the
function to a PF key (either on the front panel or the
microphone).
1 Press [MENU], then press [Q-M.IN]/ [Q-MR] or
turn the MULTI/CH control to select Menu No.
79 ~ 86.
2 Press [M.IN]/ [SCAN (SG.SEL)] to select "203".
3 Press [MENU] to exit Menu mode.
4 Press the assigned [PF] key.
• While pressing [PF], the speaker unmutes.

TIME-OUT TIMER

The Time-out Timer limits the time of each
transmission. It is also useful to prevent a long
accidental transmission.
1 Press [MENU], then press [Q-M.IN]/ [Q-MR] or
turn the MULTI/CH control to access Menu No. 49.
2 Press [M.IN]/ [SCAN (SG.SEL)] to select "oFF",
"3", "5", "10", "20", or "30" minutes.
3 Press [MENU] to exit Menu mode.

TRANSVERTER

If you have a transverter that converts the TS-590S
operating frequencies to other frequencies, you can
use this TS-590S transceiver as a transverter exciter.
Consult the instruction manual that came with the
transverter for interfacing to the TS-590S transceiver.

FREQUENCY DISPLAY

1 Connect the transverter to the ANT 1, ANT 2, RX
ANT, or DRV connector of the TS-590S.
2 Select the exciter operating frequency on the
transceiver.
• The transverter will use this frequency as the
reference for converting frequencies.
3 Press [MENU], then press [Q-M.IN]/ [Q-MR] or
turn the MULTI/CH control to access Menu No. 50.
4 Press [M.IN]/ [SCAN (SG.SEL)] to select "1".
• The output power is automatically set to the
lowest power for that frequency (default). Refer
to "TX POWER" {below}.
5 Press [MENU] to exit Menu mode.
6 Press [ENT], then set the target converting
frequency using the numeric keys.
7 Press [ENT] to complete the entry.
• The transceiver displays the target transverter
frequency instead of the actual operating
frequency.
