5.12 Switchover of Shift Frequency Interlocked with Change of Pitch
Frequency
On the transceivers in the previous generations, after a user chose and set a pitch frequency, they then manually changed
the shift frequency, but on the TS-590S/SG, when the pitch frequency is changed on the menu, the shift frequency is also
altered accordingly.

5.13 Power-on Message

The transceiver can be configured to display a maximum of 8 characters (alphanumeric characters and some symbols)
on the 13-segment display on the right side of the display screen during the power up. As the factory default, the string
KENWOOD is set to be displayed.

5.14 Quick Memory Function

The TS-590S/SG comes with a quick memory function as did with the previous transceivers. The number of channels is a
maximum of 5 as default, but you can increase the number up to 10 by setting in the menu mode. Conversely, if you wish
to decrease the number of channels to make the operation quicker, it is possible to limit the number to 3. You can also scan
all the quick memory channels or erase the channels at one time.

5.15 Cross Tone Function

Among the functions employed in FM mode is the cross tone function. This function allows a user to set separately the
encode tone frequency, which is added when CTCSS is transmitted, and the decode tone frequency added when CTCSS
is received. This function is meant to be used when you use a repeater where tone frequencies of uplink and downlink
are different.

5.16 Expansion of Voice Guide Function (Optional VGS-1 Required)

The optional VGS-1 voice guide and storage unit can be installed on the transceiver. The voice guide acclaimed by sight-
impaired operators and the recording function are available. The following are the details of the VGS-1 functions.
