Do not use volatile solvents such as alcohol, paint thinner, gasoline or benzene to clean the cabinet of the transceiver. Use a clean cloth with warm water or a mild detergent. Disconnect the input power cable from the power source when the transceiver is not used for long periods of time. Remove the transceivers enclosure only to do accessory installations described in this manual or accessory manuals. Follow provided instructions carefully, to avoid electrical shocks. If unfamiliar with this type of work, seek assistance from an experienced individual, or have a professional technician do the task. Enlist the services of qualified personnel in the following cases:
a) The power supply or plug is damaged. b) Objects have fallen or liquid has spilled into the transceiver. c) The transceiver has been exposed to rain. d) The transceiver is operating abnormally or performance has seriously degraded. e) The transceiver has been dropped or the enclosure damaged. PRECAUTIONS Please observe the following precautions to prevent fire, personal injury, and transceiver damage:
Connect the transceiver only to a power source described in this manual or as marked on the transceiver itself. Route all power cables safely. Ensure the power cables can neither be stepped upon nor pinched by items placed near or against the cables. Pay particular attention to locations near AC receptacles, AC outlet strips, and points of entry to the transceiver. Take care not to drop objects or spill liquid into the transceiver through enclosure openings. Metal objects, such as hairpins or needles, inserted into the transceiver may contact voltages resulting in serious electrical shocks. Never permit children to insert any objects into the transceiver. Do not attempt to defeat methods used for grounding and electrical polarization in the transceiver, particularly involving the power input cable. Adequately ground all outdoor antennas for this transceiver using approved methods. Grounding helps protect against voltage surges caused by lightning. It also reduces the chance of a build-up of static charge. EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING GROUND CLAMP ANTENNA LEAD IN WIRE ANTENNA DISCHARGE UNIT GROUNDING CONDUCTORS ELECTRIC SERVICE EQUIPMENT GROUND CLAMPS POWER SERVICE GROUNDING ELECTRODE SYSTEM Minimum recommended distance for an outdoor antenna from power lines is one and one-half times the vertical height of the associated antenna support structure. This distance allows adequate clearance from the power lines if the support structure fails for any reason. Locate the transceiver so as not to interfere with its ventilation. Do not place books or other equipment on the transceiver that may impede the free movement of air. Allow a minimum of 4 inches (10 cm) between the rear of the transceiver and the wall or operating desk shelf. Do not use the transceiver near water or sources of moisture. For example, avoid use near a bathtub, sink, swimming pool, or in a damp basement or attic. The presence of an unusual odor or smoke is often a sign of trouble. Immediately turn the power OFF and remove the power cable. Contact a KENWOOD service station or your dealer for advice. iii CONTENTS PRECAUTIONS I INSTALLATION CHAPTER 1 ANTENNA CONNECTION ....................................... 1 GROUND CONNECTION ........................................ 2 LIGHTNING PROTECTION ..................................... 2 DC POWER SUPPLY CONNECTION...................... 2 UTILIZING THE BAIL............................................... 2 REPLACING FUSES ............................................... 2 ACCESSORY CONNECTIONS ............................... 3 FRONT PANEL .................................................... 3 Headphones (PHONES) ................................. 3 Microphone (MIC) ........................................... 3 REAR PANEL ...................................................... 3 External Speakers (EXT.

|nstall and connect an antenna system
{page 1}. Install and connect a DC power supply {page 2}. Install a ground system that satisfies DC and RF grounding requirements {page 2}. Connect all accessories to the transceiver {pages 3, 60}. Accessories include the following:
Install lightning protection to protect the antenna system, your personal safety, and your property {page 2}. Microphone Antenna Tuner CW Key Computer TNC/ Multimode Communications Processor Headphones External Speaker RTTY Equipment Linear Amplifier ANTENNA CONNECTION An antenna system consists of an antenna, feed line, and ground. The transceiver can give excellent results if the antenna system and its installation are given careful attention. Use a properly adjusted 50 W antenna of good quality, a high-quality 50 W coaxial cable, and first-quality connectors. All connections must be clean and tight. After making the connections, match the impedance of the coaxial cable and antenna so that the SWR is 1.5:1 or less. High SWR will cause the transmit output to drop and may lead to radio frequency interference to consumer products such as stereo receivers and televisions. You may even interfere with your own transceiver. Reports that your signal is distorted could indicate that your antenna system is not efficiently radiating the transceivers power. Connect your primary HF/ 50 MHz antenna feed line to ANT 1 on the rear of the transceiver. If you are using two HF/ 50 MHz antennas, connect the secondary antenna to ANT 2. Connect VHF
(144MHz), UHF (430/440 MHz), and 1.2 GHz
(Optional) antennas to their respective antenna connectors on the rear of the transceiver. Refer to page 13 for the location of the antenna connectors. u Transmitting without connecting an antenna or other matched load may damage the transceiver. Always connect the antenna to the transceiver before transmitting. u All fixed stations should be equipped with a lightning arrester to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and transceiver damage. Note: The transceivers protection circuit will activate when the SWR is greater than 2.5:1; however, do not rely on protection to compensate for a poorly functioning antenna system. GROUND CONNECTION At the minimum, a good DC ground is required to prevent such dangers as electric shock. For superior communications results, a good RF ground is required, against which the antenna system can operate. Both of these conditions can be met by providing a good earth ground for your station. Bury one or more ground rods or a large copper plate under the ground, then connect this to the transceiver GND terminal. Use heavy gauge wire or a copper strap, cut as short as possible, for this connection. Do not use a gas pipe, an electrical conduit, or a plastic water pipe as a ground. LIGHTNING PROTECTION Even in areas where lightning storms are less common, there are usually a limited number of storms each year. Consider carefully how to protect your equipment and home from lightning. The installation of a lightning arrestor is a start, but there is more that you can do. For example, terminate your antenna system transmission lines at an entry panel that you install outside your home. Ground this entry panel to a good outside ground, then connect the appropriate feed lines between the entry panel and your transceiver. When a lightning storm occurs, disconnecting the feed lines from your transceiver will ensure added protection. 1 1 INSTALLATION DC POWER SUPPLY CONNECTION In order to use this transceiver, you need a separate 13.8 V DC power supply that must be purchased separately. Do not directly connect the transceiver to an AC outlet. Use the supplied DC power cable to connect the transceiver to a regulated power supply. Do not substitute a cable with smaller gauge wires. The current capacity of the power supply must be 20.5 A peak or more. Fuse holders Black Red TS-2000/ TS-2000X TS-B2000 DC 13.8V First, connect the DC power cable to the regulated DC power supply; the red lead to the positive terminal and the black lead to the negative terminal. Next, connect the DC power cable to the transceivers DC power connector. Press the connectors firmly together until the locking tab clicks. Note:
u Before connecting the DC power supply to the transceiver, be sure to switch OFF the DC power supply and transceiver. u Do not plug the DC power supply into an AC outlet until you make all connections. UTILIZING THE BAIL This transceiver is equipped with a bail so that you can angle the transceiver. The bail is located on the bottom of the transceiver. Pull the bail forward to the limit as shown. Pull the bail REPLACING FUSES If the fuse blows, determine the cause then correct the problem. Only after the problem has been resolved, replace the blown fuse with a new one with the specified ratings. If newly installed fuses continue to blow, disconnect the power plug and contact a KENWOOD service station or your dealer for assistance. noitacoLesuF gnitaRtnerruCesuF 0002-ST A4

Compatible microphones include the MC-43S, MC-47, MC-52DM, MC-60A, MC-80, MC-85, and MC-90. Do not use the MC-44, MC-44DM, MC-45, MC-45E, MC-45DM, MC-45DME, and MC-53DM microphones. REAR PANEL n External Speakers (EXT.SP1/ EXT.SP2) This transceiver has 2 independent receivers. Thus, it can output 2 separate audio signals. As a default, the transceier mixes both audio signals internally and outputs them from the internal speaker. On the rear panel of the transceiver, there are 2 external speaker jacks. If an external speaker is connected to EXP.SP1, the internal speaker will mute. If the speaker is connected to EXT.SP2, both the external speaker and the internal speaker will function. Use only external speakers with an impedance of 4 to 8 W
. These jacks accept only 3.5 mm (1/8") diameter, 2-conductor (mono) plugs. Do not connect headphones to this jack. The high audio output of this jack could damage your hearing. TS-2000 TS-2000X TS-B2000 n Keys for CW (PADDLE and KEY) For CW operation using the internal electronic keyer, connect a keyer paddle to the PADDLE jack. For CW operation without using the internal electronic keyer, connect a straight key, semi-automatic key (bug), electronic keyer, or the CW keyed output from a Multimode Communications Processor (MCP) to the KEY jack. The PADDLE and KEY jacks mate with a 6.3 mm (1/4") 3-conductor plug and a 3.5 mm (1/8") 2-conductor plug respectively. External electronic keyers or MCPs must use positive keying to be compatible with this transceiver. Use a shielded cable between the key and the transceiver. Note: Due to the functionality of the internal electronic keyer, you may find it unnecessary to connect both a paddle and another type of keyer unless you want to use a PC-based keyer for CW.

When it is active, AUTO appears. If you change the frequency above or below 9.5 MHz, the transceiver automatically switches modes; LSB for frequencies under 9.5 MHz and USB for frequencies equal to or above 9.5 MHz
(HF/ 50 MHz band). As for the 144 MHz, 430
(440) MHz, and 1.2 GHz bands, the transceiver automatically changes the operating mode to FM. You can further add the frequency table data to change the mode automatically {page 73}. ADJUSTING SQUELCH The purpose of the Squelch is to mute the speaker when no signals are present. With the squelch level correctly set, you will hear sound only while actually receiving signals. The higher the selected squelch level, the stronger the signals must be to receive. The appropriate squelch level depends on the ambient RF noise conditions. Turn the MAIN SQL control, when there are no signals present, to select the squelch level at which the background noise is just eliminated; the MAIN band LED will turn off. Many ham operators prefer leaving the MAIN SQL control fully counterclockwise unless operating on a full-carrier mode such as FM. The squelch level for the main transceiver is preset at the factory to approximately 9 oclock for FM and 11 oclock for SSB and AM.

Many functions on this transceiver are selected or configured via a software-controlled Menu, rather than through the physical controls of the transceiver. Once familiar with the Menu system, you will appreciate the versatility it offers. You can customize the various timings, settings, and programming functions on this transceiver to meet your needs without using many controls and switches. MENU A/ MENU B This transceiver has two menus: Menu A and Menu B. These menus contain identical functions and can be configured independently. The transceiver, therefore, allows you to switch between two different environments quickly and easily. For example, you can configure Menu A with one set of transmit signal characteristics, DSP settings, programmable keys, frequency steps, etc., and Menu B with a completely different set. By switching from Menu A to Menu B, you can instantly change the Menu configuration and button assignment to suit your current operating style. Or, two operators may share a single transceiver by dedicating one Menu to each operator. Both operators can always enjoy their own configuration. MENU ACCESS 1 Press [MENU]. The Menu No. and setting appear on the main dot-matrix display, and the explanation of the menu appears on the sub dot-matrix display. 2 Press [A/B] to select Menu A or Menu B. A or B appears, indicating which Menu is selected. 3 Turn the MULTI/ CH control to select the desired Menu No. Each time you change the Menu No., a different scrolling message appears on the sub dot-matrix display, describing the Menu No. You will see PUSH SUB if there are sub-
menus in the Menu No. Pressing [SUB]
allows you to select from among the sub-
menus. Press [MAIN] to exit the sub-menu selection. QUICK MENU Because the number of functions this transceiver provides is extraordinary, there are numerous items in each Menu. If you find accessing desired Menu Nos. to be too time consuming, use the Quick Menu to create your own customized, abbreviated Menu. You can then add those Menu Nos. which you frequently use, to the Quick Menu. Copying Menu Nos. to the Quick Menu has no effect on the Menu. PROGRAMMING THE QUICK MENU 1 Press [MENU]. 2 Turn the MULTI/ CH control to select the desired Menu No. 3 Press QUICK MEMO [M.IN]. A star appears, indicating that the Menu item has been added to the Quick Menu. To remove the item from the Quick Menu, press QUICK MEMO [M.IN] again. 4 Press [MENU] to exit Menu mode. Note: You cannot add the sub menu No. to the Quick Menu. Press
[MAIN] to go back to the main menu No., then press QUICK MEMO
[M.IN] to add the menu No. to the Quick Menu. USING THE QUICK MENU 1 Press [MENU]. 2 Press [1MHz/ SEL]. MHz appears. 3 Turn the MULTI/ CH control to select the desired Quick Menu No. 4 Press [+], [], Mic [UP], or Mic [DWN] to change the current setting for the selected Menu No. 5 Press [MENU] to exit Quick Menu mode. 4 Press [+], [], Mic [UP], or Mic [DWN] to select a parameter. Note: If the Quick Menu has not been programmed, turning the MULTI/ CH control in step 3 causes CHECK to be output in Morse code. 5 Press [MENU] to exit Menu mode. 21 5 MENU SETUP MENU CONFIGURATION puorG uneM

Many amateur radio operators use their portable radios and mobile transceivers in FM mode. You can also utilize repeaters to reach your friends when they are outside your antenna coverage. Although FM requires a wider bandwidth when compared to SSB or AM mode, it has the finest audio quality among these modes. When combined with the full-quieting aspect of FM signals, which suppress background noise on the frequency, FM can be the best method for maintaining regular schedules with your local friends. If necessary, refer to OPERATING BASICS, beginning on page 18, for details on how to receive. 1 Select an operating frequency. 2 Press [FM/ AM/ NAR] to select FM mode. FM appears. 3 Press [SEND], or press and hold Mic [PTT]. The MAIN band LED lights red. Refer to VOX {page 39} for information on automatic TX/RX switching. 4 Speak into the microphone in your normal tone and level of voice. Speaking too close to the microphone or too loudly may increase distortion and reduce intelligibility at the receiving end. You can switch the Microphone Gain for FM between low, medium, and high by using Menu No. 41. Low is usually appropriate; however, select high if other stations report that your modulation is weak. The MULTI/ CH control has no effect in FM mode. 5 Press [SEND] or release Mic [PTT] to return to receive mode. The MAIN band LED lights green or turns off, depending on the MAIN SQL setting. Refer to COMMUNICATING AIDS, beginning on page 37, for additional information on useful operation functions. BASIC COMMUNICATIONS SSB TRANSMISSION SSB is the most commonly-used mode on the HF Amateur bands. Compared with other voice modes, SSB requires only a narrow bandwidth for communications. SSB also allows long distance communications with minimum transmit power. If necessary, refer to OPERATING BASICS, beginning on page 18, for details on how to receive. 1 Select an operating frequency. 2 Press [LSB/ USB/ AUTO] to select either lower or upper sideband mode. LSB or USB appears to show which sideband is selected. 3 Press [MIC/ CAR] to activate the Microphone Gain Adjust. The current gain level appears. 4 Press [SEND], or press and hold Mic [PTT]. The MAIN band LED lights red. Refer to VOX {page 29} for information on automatic TX/RX switching. 5 Speak into the microphone and adjust the MULTI/ CH control so that the ALC meter reflects your voice level but does not exceed the ALC limit. Speak in your normal tone and level of voice. Speaking too close to the microphone or too loudly may increase distortion and reduce intelligibility at the receiving end. You may want to use the Speech Processor. Refer to SPEECH PROCESSOR {page 40}
for details. 6 Press [SEND] or release Mic [PTT] to return to receive mode. The MAIN band LED lights green or turns off, depending on the MAIN SQL setting. 7 Press [MIC/ CAR] to quit the Microphone Gain Adjust. Refer to COMMUNICATING AIDS, beginning on page 37, for information on additional useful operation functions. 28 AM TRANSMISSION Each mode used on the HF Amateur bands has its own advantages. Although long distance DX contacts may be less common while using AM, the superior audio quality characteristic of AM operation is one reason why some hams prefer this mode. When looking for others operating on AM, check the following frequencies first:
3885 kHz, 7290 kHz, 14286 kHz, 21390 kHz, and 29000 ~ 29200 kHz If necessary, refer to OPERATING BASICS, beginning on page 18, for details on how to receive. 1 Select an operating frequency. 2 Press [FM/ AM/ NAR] to select AM mode. AM appears. 3 Press [MIC/ CAR] to activate the Microphone Gain Adjust. The current gain level appears. 4 Press [SEND], or press and hold Mic [PTT]. The MAIN band LED lights red. Refer to VOX {page 39} for information on automatic TX/RX switching. 5 Speak into the microphone and adjust the MULTI/ CH control so that the calibrated power meter slightly reflects your voice level. Speak in your normal tone and level of voice. Speaking too close to the microphone or too loudly may increase distortion and reduce intelligibility at the receiving end. You may want to use the Speech Processor. Refer to SPEECH PROCESSOR {page 40}
for details. 6 BASIC COMMUNICATIONS NARROW BANDWIDTH FOR FM When operating in FM mode, you can select wide or narrow bandwidth operation. The table below shows the RX IF filter bandwidth and TX deviation combination for each operating mode. The bandwidth selection is crucial to avoid audio distortion or insufficient intelligibility that the other station will encounter. edoM MF NMF retliFFIXR noitaiveDXT ediW worraN 1 ediW worraN 1 K-type: Main transceiver only. All E-types: Main transceiver and sub-receiver. 1 Press [FM/ AM/ NAR] to select FM mode. 2 Press [FUNC], [FM/ AM/ NAR] to toggle the selection between Wide and Narrow. FM or FMN appears to indicate which bandwidth is selected. NARROW BANDWIDTH FOR AM When receiving AM on the main transceiver, you can further decrease the bandwidth to eliminate interferences. However, the TX deviation of AM is not affected by this selection. 1 Press [FM/ AM/ NAR] to select AM mode on the main transceiver. 2 Press [FUNC], [FM/ AM/ NAR] to toggle the selection between Normal and Narrow. AM or AMN appears to indicate which IF bandwidth is selected for the main transceiver. 6 Press [SEND] or release Mic [PTT] to return to receive mode. The MAIN band LED lights green or turns off, depending on the MAIN SQL setting. 7 Press [MIC/ CAR] to quit the Microphone Gain Adjust. Refer to COMMUNICATING AIDS, beginning on page 37, for information on additional useful operation functions. Note: If necessary, adjust the carrier level before speaking into the microphone. Press [FUNC], [MIC/ CAR] to enter the adjustment mode. While transmitting only carrier signals, turn the MULTI/ CH control so that the ALC meter just begins to indicate. Press [FUNC],
[MIC/ CAR] again to complete the adjustment. 29 6 BASIC COMMUNICATIONS CW TRANSMISSION CW operators know that this mode is very reliable when communicating under worst conditions. It may be true that newer digital modes rival CW as being equally as useful in poor conditions. These modes, however, do not have the long history of service nor the simplicity that CW provides. This transceiver has a built-in electronic keyer that supports a variety of functions. For details on using these functions, refer to ELECTRONIC KEYER
{page 42}. If necessary, refer to OPERATING BASICS, beginning on page 18, for details on how to receive. 1 Select the operating frequency. 2 Press [CW/ FSK/ REV] to select CW mode. CW appears. To precisely tune in another station, use Auto Zero-beat. Refer to AUTO ZERO-BEAT
{below}. 3 Press [SEND]. The MAIN band LED lights red. Refer to CW BREAK-IN {page 42} for information on automatic TX/ RX switching. 4 Begin sending. As you transmit, you should hear a sidetone that lets you monitor your own transmission. Refer to TX SIDETONE/ RX PITCH FREQUENCY {below}. 5 Press [SEND] to return to receive mode. The MAIN band LED lights green or turns off, depending on the MAIN SQL setting. Note: You may adjust the carrier level when necessary. Press
[FUNC], [MIC/ CAR] to enter the adjustment mode. With the key down, turn the MULTI/ CH control so that the ALC meter reads within the ALC zone but does not exceed the upper ALC zone limit. Press
[FUNC], [MIC/ CAR] again to complete the adjustment. 30 AUTO ZERO-BEAT Use Auto Zero-beat before transmitting to tune in a CW station. Auto Zero-beat automatically and exactly matches your transmit frequency with the station you are receiving. Neglecting to do this will reduce your chances of being heard by the other station. 1 Press [FUNC], [RIT/ CW TUNE] to start Auto Zero-beat. CW TUNE appears. Your transmit frequency automatically changes so that the pitch of the received signal exactly matches the TX sidetone/ RX pitch frequency that you have selected. Refer to TX SIDETONE/ RX PITCH FREQUENCY {below}. When matching is completed, CW TUNE disappears. If matching is unsuccessful, the previous frequency is restored. 2 To quit Auto Zero-beat, press [FUNC],
[RIT/ CW TUNE] or [CLR]. Note:
u You cannot start Auto Zero-beat if you have selected 1.0 kHz or wider for the DSP filter bandwidth. u When using Auto Zero-beat, the matching error is within 50 Hz in most cases. u Auto Zero-beat may fail if the keying speed of the target station is too slow or when some interference is present. u When RIT function is ON, only RIT frequencies changes to make Auto Zero-beat adjustment. TX SIDETONE/ RX PITCH FREQUENCY As you send CW, you will hear tones from the transceiver speaker. These are called transmit (TX) sidetones. Listening to these tones, you can monitor what you are transmitting. You may also use the tones to ensure that your key contacts are closing, the keyer is functioning, or to practice sending without actually putting a signal on the air. Receive pitch refers to the frequency of CW that you hear after tuning in a CW station. On this transceiver, the frequency of the sidetone and receive pitch are equal and selectable. Access Menu No. 31 to select the frequency that is most comfortable for you. The selectable range is from 400 Hz to 1000 Hz in steps of 50 Hz. To change the volume of the TX sidetone, access Menu No. 13. The selections range from 1 to 9 and OFF. Note: The position of the MAIN AF and SUB AF controls does not affect the volume of the TX sidetone. ENHANCED COMMUNICATIONS SPLIT-FREQUENCY OPERATION Usually you can communicate with other stations using a single frequency for receiving and transmitting. In this case, you select only one frequency on either VFO A or VFO B. However, there are cases where you must select one frequency for receiving and a different frequency for transmitting. This requires the use of two VFOs. This is referred to as split-frequency operation. One typical case which requires this type of operation is when you use an FM repeater {page 22}. Another typical case is when you call a rare DX station. When a rare or desirable DX station is heard, that operator may immediately get many simultaneous responses. Often, such a station is lost under the noise and confusion of many calling stations. If you find that you are suddenly being called by many operators, it is your responsibility to control the situation. You may announce that you will be listening up 5 (kHz, from your present transmit frequency), or listening down between 5 and 10
(kHz). 1 Press [MAIN], [A/B] to select VFO A or VFO B on the main transceier. tA or tB appears to show which VFO is selected. 2 Select an operating frequency. The frequency selected at this point will be used for transmitting. To copy the selected VFO frequency to the other VFO, press [A=B]. 3 Press [A/B] to select the other VFO. 4 Select an operating frequency. The frequency selected on this VFO will be used for receiving. 5 Press [SPLIT]. SPLIT appears. Each press of [A/B] reverses the receive and transmit frequencies. 6 To quit split-frequency operation, press [SPLIT]
again. SPLIT disappears. TF-SET (TRANSMIT FREQUENCY SET) TF-SET allows you to temporarily switch your transmit frequency and receive frequency. Canceling this function immediately restores the original transmit and receive frequencies. By activating TF-
SET, you can listen on your transmit frequency, and change it while listening. This allows you to check whether or not the newly selected transmit frequency is free of interference. 1 Configure split-frequency operation as explained in the previous section. 2 Press and hold [TF-SET]. 3 While holding down [TF-SET], change the operating frequency by turning the Tuning control or by pressing Mic [UP]/ [DWN]. The transceiver receives on the frequency that you select, but the frequency shown on the sub-display stays unchanged. 4 Release [TF-SET]. You are now receiving again on your original receive frequency. Successfully contacting a DX station in a pileup often depends on making a well-timed call on a clear frequency. That is, it is important to select a relatively clear transmit frequency and to transmit at the exact instant when the DX station is listening but the majority of the group arent transmitting. Switch your receive and transmit frequencies by using TF-SET and listen. You will soon learn the rhythm of the DX station and the pileup. The more proficient you become at using this function, the more DX stations you will contact. Note:
u If you press [FUNC], [ATT/ F LOCK] to lock the operating frequency before using TF-SET, pressing an incorrect button by mistake retains the original receive frequency. u TF-SET is disabled while transmitting. u If you have recalled a memory channel (excluding CH 290 to 299), you cannot change the recalled frequency using the Tuning control. u To enable the Tuning control, access Menu No. 06B and select ON. Pressing Mic [UP]/ [DWN] after recalling a memory channel changes the memory channels. u An RIT frequency shift is not added; however, an XIT frequency shift is added to the transmit frequency. If you access Menu No. 06A and select ON, you can recall a memory channel to use for either receiving or transmitting. For more information, refer to Memory-
VFO Split Operation {page 60} under MEMORY FEATURES. Note: You cannot perform SPLIT operation on the sub-receiver; it has only one VFO. 31 7 ENHANCED COMMUNICATIONS FM REPEATER OPERATION When using FM mode, you may access a repeater to enjoy long distance communications. Repeaters, which are often installed and maintained by radio clubs, are usually located on mountain tops or other elevated locations. Generally they operate at higher ERP (Effective Radiated Power) than a typical station. This combination of elevation and high ERP allows communications in FM over much greater distances than FM communications without using repeaters. Most repeaters use a receive and transmit frequency pair with an offset. In addition, some repeaters must receive a tone from the transceiver before it allows access. Repeaters are available on the 29, 50, 144, 430 (440) MHz, and 1.2 GHz bands (TS-2000/
TS-B2000 Optional). For further information, including repeater frequencies, consult your local repeater reference. This transceiver provides the following three methods for programming two separate frequencies:
Using the Split-Frequency function {page 31}
Programming an offset (29, 50, 144, 430 (440) MHz and 1.2 GHz bands) Storing in a Split-Frequency channel {page 59}
Note:
u When programming two separate frequencies using two VFOs, be sure to select FM mode on both VFOs. u When operating through a repeater, over deviation caused by speaking too loudly into the microphone can cause your signal to talk-off (break up) through the repeater. n Selecting an Offset Direction 1 Select a receive frequency. 2 Press [0/ SHIFT/ OFFSET] to switch the offset direction. Select whether the transmit frequency will be higher (+) or lower () than the receive frequency.
+ or appears to indicate which offset direction is selected. To program 7.6 MHz (430 MHz) or 6.0 MHz (1.2 GHz) offset on all E-types, repeatedly press [0/ SHIFT/ OFFSET] until
= appears. If the offset transmit frequency falls outside the allowable range, transmitting is inhibited. Use one of the following methods to bring the transmit frequency within the band limits:
Move the receive frequency further inside the band. Change the offset direction. Note:
u You can only change the offset direction while in FM mode. u While using an odd-split memory channel for transmitting, you cannot change the offset direction. 29.520 MHz 88.5 Hz 29.620 MHz 29.620 MHz 29.520 MHz 88.5 Hz n Selecting an Offset Frequency To access a repeater which requires an odd-split frequency pair, change the offset frequency from the default which is used by most repeaters. The default offset frequencies are as follows. dnaB zHM441 dna.S.U srehtO eporuE zHk006 zHM)044(034 zHM0.5
).tpO(zHG2.1 zHM0.21 zHM6.1 zHM6.7-
zHM0.53 zHM0.6-
PROGRAMMING AN OFFSET When using the 29, 50, 144, 430 (440) MHz or 1.2 GHz band (TS-2000/ TS-B2000 Optional), selecting a single frequency and an offset is another method for programming two separate frequencies. Unlike the Split-Frequency function, this method requires only a single VFO. Note: If you store offset settings in a memory channel, you need not reprogram each time. Refer to MEMORY FEATURES {page 58}. 32 As for 29 and 50 MHz bands, the default offset is set to 0 MHz (Simplex). Program the desired offset frequency for these bands. 1 Press [FUNC], [0/ SHIFT/ OFFSET]. 2 Turn the MULTI/ CH control to select the appropriate offset frequency. The selectable range is from 0.00 MHz to 59.95 MHz in steps of 50 kHz. 3 Press [FUNC], [0/ SHIFT/ OFFSET] again to complete the setting. All E-types only: If you have selected = for the offset direction, you cannot change the default (7.6 MHz or 6.0 MHz). TRANSMITTING A TONE Some FM repeaters require the transceiver to transmit a subaudible tone to prevent other repeaters on the same frequency from locking each other up. The required tone frequency differs among repeaters. Repeaters also differ in their requirements for either continuous or burst tones. For the appropriate selections for your accessible repeaters, consult your local repeater reference. After completing the tone settings, pressing [SEND]
or pressing and holding Mic [PTT] causes the transceiver to transmit the selected tone. If you have selected a 1750 Hz tone, press [4/ TONE/ SEL] to transmit the tone without pressing [PTT]. Note: If you store tone settings in a memory channel, you need not reprogram each time. Refer to MEMORY FEATURES {page 58}. n Activating the Tone Function 1 Confirm that FM mode has been selected on the VFO(s). When using two VFOs, you must select FM mode on both VFOs. 2 Press [4/ TONE/ SEL] to switch the Tone function ON (or OFF). T appears when the function is ON. Note:
u You cannot use the Tone function with the CTCSS or DCS functions. u You need to activate the Tone function only when selecting one of the 38 standard frequencies. The selection you make here will not affect the transmission of the 1750 Hz tone. n Selecting a Tone Frequency 1 Press [FUNC], [4/ TONE/ SEL]. The current tone frequency appears. The default is 88.5 Hz. 7 ENHANCED COMMUNICATIONS

u Use Nos. 01 to 39 shown in the table above when selecting tone frequencies via Computer Control {page XX}. u You can select a tone frequency independent of a CTCSS frequency. n Selecting Continuous or Burst Access Menu No. 42 to select Continuous or Burst. With Continuous selected, the transceiver sends the tone continuously during the transmission. With Burst selected, the transceiver sends a 500 ms tone each time transmission starts. When using the 144, 430 (440) MHz, or 1.2 GHz band, continuous tones are always transmitted, regardless of the selection. n Transmitting a 1750 Hz Tone Most repeaters in Europe require transceivers to transmit a 1750 Hz tone. With 1750 Hz tone selected, pressing [4/ TONE/ SEL] causes the transceiver to transmit the 1750 Hz tone. Releasing the key ceases transmission of the code. Some repeaters in Europe must receive continuous signals for a certain period of time, following a 1750 Hz tone. This transceiver is capable of remaining in transmit mode for 2 seconds after transmitting the 1750 Hz tone. Access Menu No. 44 and select ON. 2 Turn the MULTI/ CH control to select the appropriate tone frequency. The available tone frequencies are listed in the following table. 3 Press [FUNC], [4/ TONE/ SEL] to complete the setting. 33 7 ENHANCED COMMUNICATIONS AUTOMATIC REPEATER OFFSET This function automatically selects an offset direction, according to the frequency that you select on the 144 MHz band. The transceiver is programmed for offset directions as shown below. To obtain an up-to-
date band plan for repeater offset direction, contact your national Amateur Radio association. Access Menu No. 43 and switch the function ON or OFF. The default is ON. K-type (U.S.A. and Canada versions) This complies with the standard ARRL band plan. 144.0 145.5 146.4 147.0 147.6 145.1 146.0 146.6 147.4 148.0 MHz S

u Automatic Repeater Offset does not function when Reverse is ON. However, pressing [TF-SET] after Automatic Repeater Offset has selected an offset (split) status, exchanges the receive and transmit frequencies. u If you change the offset direction by pressing [0/ SHIFT/
OFFSET] when Automatic Repeater Offset is ON, the Shift direction on the above figure is applied when you change the frequencies. REVERSE FUNCTION After programming an offset on the 29, 50, 144, 430
(440) MHz, and 1.2 GHz (Optional) band, the reverse function exchanges a separate receive and transmit frequency. So, while using a repeater, you can manually check the strength of a signal that you receive directly from the other station. If the stations signal is strong, both stations should move to a simplex frequency to free up the repeater. Press [TF-SET] to switch the Reverse function ON
(or OFF) while the Shift function is active. R appears when the Reverse function is ON. Note:
u If pressing [TF-SET] places the transmit frequency outside the allowable range, pressing Mic [PTT] will cause an error beep to sound; transmission will be inhibited. u If pressing [TF-SET] places the receive frequency outside the allowable range, an error beep will sound and reversal will not occur. u Automatic Repeater Offset does not function while Reverse is ON. u You cannot switch Reverse ON or OFF while transmitting. 34 AUTOMATIC SIMPLEX CHECK (ASC) ASC functions only when you have programmed an offset on the 29, 50, 144, 430 (440) MHz or 1.2 GHz
(Optional) band. While using a repeater, ASC periodically monitors the strength of a signal that you receive directly from the other station. If the stations signal is strong enough to allow direct contact without a repeater, the ASC indicator on the display starts blinking. Press and hold [TF-SET] for approximately 1 second to switch the function ON. The [R] indicator appears when the function is ON. When direct contact is possible, the [R] indicator blinks. To quit the function, press [TF-SET]. Note:
u Pressing Mic [PTT] causes the ASC indicator to stop blinking. u ASC does not function if your transmit and receive frequencies are the same (simplex operation). u ASC does not function while scanning. u Activating ASC while using Reverse switches Reverse OFF. u If you recall a memory channel or the Call channel that has the Reverse status ON, ASC is switched OFF. u ASC causes received audio to be momentarily intermitted every 3 seconds. TONE FREQ. ID SCAN This function scans through all tone frequencies to identify the incoming tone frequency on a received signal. You can use this function to find which tone frequency is required by your local repeater. 1 Press [FUNC], [4/ TONE/ SEL]. The current tone frequency appears. 2 Press [SCAN/ SG. SEL] to activate the Tone Freq. ID. When the tone frequency is identified, the identified frequency appears and blinks. Press [SCAN/ SG. SEL] while the identified frequency is blinking, to resume scanning. Press [FUNC], [4/ TONE/ SEL] again to quit the function.
FM CTCSS OPERATION You may sometimes want to hear calls only from specific persons. When using FM mode, the Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System (CTCSS) allows you to ignore (not hear) unwanted calls from other persons who are using the same frequency. A CTCSS tone is subaudible and is selectable from among the 38 standard tone frequencies. Select the same CTCSS tone as the other stations in your group. You will not hear calls from stations other than those using the same CTCSS tone. Note: CTCSS does not cause your conversation to be private. It only relieves you from listening to unwanted conversations. 1 Press [A/B] to select VFO A or VFO B. tA or tB appears to show which VFO is selected. 2 Select a band. 3 Select an operating frequency. 4 Press [FM/ AM/ NAR] to select FM mode. FM appears. 5 Turn the SQL control to adjust the squelch. 6 Press [6/ CTCSS/ SEL] to switch the CTCSS function ON (or OFF). CT appears when the function is ON. 7 Press [FUNC], [6/ CTCSS/ SEL]. The current CTCSS frequency appears. The default CTCSS frequency is 88.5 Hz.

CTCSS FREQ. ID SCAN This function scans through all CTCSS frequencies to identify the incoming CTCSS frequency on a received signal. You may find this useful when you cannot recall the CTCSS frequency that the other persons in your group are using. 1 Press [FUNC], [6/ CTCSS/ SEL]. The current CTCSS frequency appears. 2 Press [SCAN/ SG. SEL] to activate the CTCSS Freq. ID scan. C T blinks and every CTCSS tone frequency is scanned. When the CTCSS frequency is identified, the transceiver stops scanning and the identified frequency is displayed. 9 Press [FUNC], [6/ CTCSS/ SEL] to complete the setting.

Press [SCAN/ SG. SEL] to resume scanning. Press [FUNC], [6/ CTCSS/ SEL] to quit the scanning. Note: Received signals are audible while scanning is in progress. 35 7 ENHANCED COMMUNICATIONS FM DCS OPERATION Digital Code Squelch (DCS) is another FM application which allows you to ignore (not hear) unwanted calls. It functions the same way as CTCSS. The only differences are the encode/
decode method and the number of selectable codes. For DCS, you can select from 104 different codes listed in the table below. 1 Press [A/B] to select VFO A or VFO B. tA or tB appears to show which VFO is selected. 2 Select a band. 3 Select an operating frequency. 4 Press [FM/ AM/ NAR] to select FM mode. FM appears. 5 Turn the SQL control to adjust the squelch. 6 Press [/ DCS/SEL] to switch the DCS function ON (or OFF). DCS appears when the function is ON. You will hear calls only when the selected code is received. To answer the call, press [SEND] or press and hold Mic [PTT], then speak into the microphone. Skip steps 7 to 9 if you have already programmed the appropriate DCS code. Note: You cannot use DCS with the Tone or CTCSS functions. DCS CODE ID SCAN This function scans through all DCS codes to identify the incoming DCS code on a received signal. You may find this useful when you cannot recall the DCS code that the other persons in your group are using. 1 Press [FUNC], [/ DCS/SEL].

Press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] to resume scanning. Press [FUNC], [/ DCS/SEL] to quit scanning. Note: Received signals are audible while scanning is in progress. 8 Turn the MULTI/ CH control to select the appropriate DCS code. The available DCS codes are listed in the following table. 9 Press [FUNC], [/ DCS/SEL] again to complete the setting. 320 520 620 130 230 630 340 740 150 350 450 560 170 270 370 470 411 511 611 221 521 131 231 431 341 541 251 551 651 261 561 271 471 502 212 322 522 622 342 442 542 642 152 252 552 162 362 562 662 172 472 603 113 513 523 133 233 343 643 153 653 463 563 173 114 214 314 324 134 234 544 644 254 454 554 264 464 564 664 305 605 615 325 625 235 645 565 606 216 426 726 136 236 456 266 466 307 217 327 137 237 437 347 457 36 COMMUNICATING AIDS RECEIVING SELECTING YOUR FREQUENCY In addition to turning the Tuning control or pressing Mic [UP]/[DWN], there are several other ways to select your frequency. This section describes additional methods of frequency selection that may save your time and effort. n Direct Frequency Entry When the desired frequency is far removed from the current frequency, directly entering a frequency from the numeric keypad is usually the fastest method. 1 Press [ENT].
- - - . - - - . - - appears. 2 Press the numeric keys ([0] to [9]) to enter your desired frequency. Pressing [ENT] fills the remaining digits (the digits you did not enter) with 0 and completes entry. To select 1.85 MHz for example, press [0],
[0], [0], [1], [8], [5], then press [ENT] to complete the input (7 key strokes). To shorten the key strokes, you can also use [] as MHz. Press [1], [] (MHz), [8],
[5], then press [ENT] to complete the input
(5 key strokes). Pressing [CLR] cancels the entry and restores the current VFO frequency. Note:
u You can enter the frequency in the range of 30.00 kHz to 1299.99999 MHz. u Attempting to enter a frequency that is outside the selectable frequency range causes an alarm to sound. The entered frequency is rejected. u When the entered frequency does not meet the current VFO frequency step size requirement, the nearest available frequency is automatically selected (Sub-
receiver). The nearest available frequency is automatically selected after the entered frequency is changed (Main transceiver). u When the 10 Hz digit (last displayed digit) is entered, the digit 0 is automatically entered for the 1 Hz digit, and frequency entry is completed. The 1 Hz digit is not displayed. u When an entered frequency is accepted, RIT or XIT will be switched OFF, but the RIT or XIT offset frequency is not cleared. u After recalling memory channels 290 to 299 that have Start and End frequencies stored, the receive frequency can be changed by using Direct Frequency Entry within the programmed range. n Using 1 MHz Steps Pressing [+]/ [] on the front panel changes Amateur bands. You can also use the MULTI/ CH control to change the operating frequency in steps of 1 MHz. 1 Press [1MHz/ SEL]. MHz appears. 2 Turn the MULTI/ CH control. Clockwise increases the frequency, counter-
clockwise decreases the frequency. 3 Press [1MHz/ SEL] to exit the function. MHz disappears. If you prefer to change the frequency in steps of 100 kHz or 500 kHz steps rather than 1 MHz, press [FUNC], [1MHz/ SEL] then turn the MULTI/ CH control to select 100 kHz or 500 kHz. Note: Even if 100 kHz or 500 kHz is selected for the [1MHz] key, the MHz icon appears. n Quick QSY To move up or down the frequency quickly, use the MULTI/ CH control. Turning this control changes the operating frequency in steps of 5 kHz for SSB/
CW/ FSK and 10 kHz for FM/ AM (below 60 MHz). If you want to change the default frequency step size, press [FUNC], [9/ FINE/ STEP]. Select 5 kHz, 6.25 kHz, 10 kHz, 12.5 kHz, 15 kHz, 20 kHz, 25 kHz, 30 kHz, 50 kHz or 100 kHz for FM/ AM, and 1 kHz, 2.5 kHz, 5 kHz, or 10 kHz for the other modes. The default step size is 5 kHz for SSB/ CW/ FSK/
AM and 10 kHz for FM (below 60 MHz). When changing the operating frequency by using the MULTI/ CH control, frequencies are rounded such that new frequencies are multiples of the frequency step size. To cancel this function, access Menu No. 04 and select OFF (default is ON). Within the AM broadcast band, the step size automatically defaults to the frequency step value in Menu No. 5. This step size can be switched between 9 kHz (ON) and 5 kHz (OFF) via Menu No. 05. Note: The programmed frequency step size for the MULTI/ CH control is stored independently for the HF/ 50 MHz, 144 MHz, 430 (440) MHz and 1.2 GHz bands (Main transceiver). You can also set a different frequency step size for SSB/ CW/ FSK, AM, and FM modes. The sub-receiver also stores the independent frequency step size for 118 MHz (K-type only), 144 MHz, 300MHz (K-type only), and 430 (440) MHz bands. You can also set a different frequency step size for FM and AM. 37 8 COMMUNICATING AIDS n Fine Tuning The default step value when turning the Tuning control to change the frequency is 10 Hz for SSB, CW, and FSK modes, and 100 Hz for FM and AM modes. However, you can change the step size to 1 Hz for SSB, CW, and FSK modes, and 10 Hz for FM and AM modes. 1 Press [FINE]. FINE appears. 2 Turn the Tuning control to select the exact frequency. 3 To quit the function, press [9/ FINE/ STEP]
again. FINE disappears. Note:
u Fine Tuning works only on the main transceiver. u If Menu No. 03 is ON, you cannot perform fine tuning in FM mode for all bands and AM mode for the 144 MHz/ 430
(440) MHz/ 1.2 GHz (Optional) bands. n Equalizing VFO Frequencies (A=B) This function allows you to copy the frequency and modulation mode of the active VFO to the inactive VFO. 1 Select the frequency and mode on VFO A or VFO B. 2 Press [A=B]. The frequency and mode selected in step 1 are copied to the inactive VFO. 3 Press [A/B] to confirm that the frequency was copied. RIT (RECEIVE INCREMENTAL TUNING) RIT provides the ability to change your receive frequency by 20.00 kHz in steps of 10 Hz without changing your transmit frequency. If the Fine Tuning
([FINE/ STEP]) function is ON, the step size becomes 1 Hz. RIT works equally well with all modulation modes and while using VFO or Memory Recall mode. 1 Press [RIT]. RIT and the RIT offset appear. 2 If required, press [CLEAR] to reset the RIT offset to 0. 38 3 Turn the RIT/ SUB control to change your receive frequency. 4 To turn off RIT, press [RIT/ CW TUNE]. The receive frequency is returned to the frequency that was selected prior to step 1. Note:
u RIT works only on the main transceiver. u When storing the frequency in Memory channel with RIT function ON, RIT offset frequency is added or subtracted to/ from the VFO frequency. Then the calculated data is stored in the Memory channel. AGC (AUTOMATIC GAIN CONTROL) When using a mode other than FM, AGC selects the time constant for the automatic gain control circuit. Selecting a slow time constant will cause the receiver gain and S-meter readings to react slowly to large input changes. A fast time constant causes the receiver gain and the S-meter to react quickly to changes in the input signal. A fast AGC setting is particularly useful in the following situations:
Tuning rapidly Receiving weak signals Receiving high-speed CW Unlike other transceivers, the TS-2000s digital AGC circuit allows you to adjust the time constant from slow to fast in 20 steps, where 1 is the slowest and 20 is the fastest. Furthermore, you can switch the AGC OFF if you desire. For your convenience, the following default AGC time constant has already been programmed. SSB: Level 7 CW: Level 12 FSK: Level 14 AM: Level 5 To change the default time constant:
1 Press [8/ AGC/OFF]. The AGC time constant scale appears on the sub dot-matrix display. 2 To select a slower time constant, turn the MULTI/ CH control counterclockwise. The bar indicator moves from F(ast) to S(low). To select a faster time constant, turn the MULTI/ CH control clockwise. The bar indicator moves from S(low) to F(ast). 3 If you want to turn the AGC OFF, press [FUNC],
[8/ AGC/OFF]. Note: You cannot adjust the AGC time constant on the sub-receiver. TRANSMITTING n Delay Time 8 COMMUNICATING AIDS If the transceiver returns to receive mode too quickly after you stop speaking, your final word may not be transmitted. To avoid this, select an appropriate delay time that allows all of your words to be transmitted without an overly long delay after you stop speaking. 1 Select USB, LSB, FM, or AM mode. 2 Press [VOX/ LEVEL] to switch the VOX function ON. 3 Press [FUNC], [KEY/ DELAY]. The current setting appears on the sub dot-
matrix display. The default is 50. 4 While speaking into the microphone using your normal tone of voice, adjust the MULTI/ CH control such that the transceiver switches to receive mode after you have stopped talking. The selectable range is from 5 to 100
(150 ms to 3000 ms) in steps of 5, or OFF. 5 Press [FUNC], [KEY/ DELAY] to set the VOX delay. VOX (VOICE-OPERATED TRANSMIT) VOX eliminates the necessity of manually switching to the transmit mode each time you want to transmit. The transceiver automatically switches to transmit mode when the VOX circuitry senses that you have begun speaking into the microphone. When using VOX, develop the habit of pausing between thoughts to allow the transceiver to drop back to receive mode briefly. You will then hear if anybody wants to interrupt, plus you will have a short period to gather your thoughts before speaking again. Your listeners will appreciate your consideration as well as respect your more articulate conversation. VOX can be switched ON and OFF independently for CW and the other modes, excluding FSK. Press [VOX/ LEVEL] to toggle VOX ON and OFF. The VOX LED lights. n Microphone Input Level To enjoy the VOX function, take the time to properly adjust the gain of the VOX circuit. This level controls the capability of the VOX circuit to detect the presence or absence of your voice. In CW mode, this level cannot be adjusted. 1 Select USB, LSB, FM, or AM mode. 2 Press [VOX/ LEVEL] to switch the VOX function ON. The VOX LED lights. 3 Press [FUNC], [VOX/ LEVEL]. The current VOX gain appears on the sub dot-matrix display. 4 While speaking into the microphone using your normal tone of voice, adjust the setting (default is 4) using the MULTI/ CH control until the transceiver reliably switches to transmit mode each time you speak. The selectable gain range is from 0 to 9. The setting should not allow background noise to switch the transceiver to transmit mode. Note: The VOX gain level can be adjusted even if VOX is switched OFF or while you are transmitting. 39 XIT (TRANSMIT INCREMENTAL TUNING) Similar to RIT, XIT provides the ability to change your transmit frequency by 20.00 kHz in steps of 10 Hz without changing your receive frequency. If the Fine Tuning ([FINE]) function is ON, the step size is 1 Hz. 1 Press [XIT/ ALT]. XIT and the XIT offset appear. 2 If required, press [CLEAR] to reset the XIT offset to 0. 3 Turn the RIT/ SUB control to change your transmit frequency. 4 To turn XIT OFF, press [XIT/ ALT]. The transmit frequency is returned to the frequency that was selected prior to step 1. Note:
u XIT works only on the main transceiver. u The frequency shift set by the RIT/ SUB control is also used by the RIT function. Therefore, changing or clearing the XIT offset also affects the RIT offset. u When XIT frequency exceeds the limit of the amateur radio band, the transceiver automatically stops transmitting. 8 COMMUNICATING AIDS SPEECH PROCESSOR The Speech Processor levels out large fluctuations in your voice while you speak. When using SSB, FM, or AM mode, this leveling action effectively raises the average transmit output power, resulting in a more understandable signal. The amount of voice compression is fully adjustable. You will notice that using the Speech Processor makes it easier to be heard by distant stations. Transmit power Speech Processor OFF Transmit power Speech Processor ON Time Time 1 Select USB, LSB, FM, or AM mode. 2 Press [PROC/ LEVEL] to switch the Speech Processor ON. The PROC LED lights. 3 Press [FUNC], [PROC/ LEVEL] to enter the Speech Processor input level adjustment mode. 4 As you speak into the microphone, turn the MULTI/ CH control so that the compression meter indicates that the compression level is around 10 dB while you speak. Using higher compression will not improve your signal clarity or apparent signal strength. Excessively compressed signals are more difficult to understand due to distortion and are less pleasant to hear than signals with less compression. 5 Press [FUNC], [PROC/ LEVEL] to exit the Speech Processor input level adjustment. 6 Press [MIC/ CAR] to enter the Microphone Gain Adjustment. As you speak into the microphone, turn the MULTI/ CH control so that the ALC meter reflects accroding to your voice level but does not exceed the ALC limit. Press [MIC/ CAR] to exit when you finish the adjustment. 40 CUSTOMIZING TRANSMIT SIGNAL CHARACTERISTICS The quality of your transmitted signal is important, regardless of which on-air activity you pursue. However, it is easy to be casual and overlook this fact since you dont listen to your own signal. The following sub-sections provide information that will help you tailor your transmitted signal. n Changing Transmit Bandwidth (SSB/AM) Use Menu No. 22 to select one of the following transmit bandwidths: 2.0 kHz, 2.2 kHz, 2.4 kHz
(default), 2.6 kHz, 2.8 kHz, or 3.0 kHz. htdiwdnaB zHk0.2 zHk2.2 zHk4.2 zHk6.2 zHk8.2 zHk0.3 ycneuqerfdnabssaP zH0052-005 zH0062-004 zH0072-003 zH0082-002 zH0092-001 1 zH0003-01 1 1: If the Speech Processor is ON, the low-cut filter is set to 200 Hz for 2.8 kHz and 3.0 kHz. n Equalizing Transmit Audio (SSB/FM/AM) Use Menu No. 14 to change the transmit frequency characteristics of your signal. You can select from one of six different transmit profiles including the default flat response. Selecting any of the following items from the Menu causes TX EQ. to appear on the display. Off:
The default frequency response for SSB, FM, and AM. High boost:
Emphasizes higher audio frequencies; effective for a bassy voice. Formant pass:
Improves clarity by suppressing audio frequencies outside the normal voice frequency range. Bass boost:
Emphasizes lower audio frequencies; effective for a voice with more high frequency components. Conventional:
Emphasizes by 3 dB frequencies at 600 Hz and higher. User:
Reserved for future use. Off is programmed at the factory as a default. Frequency Response Curves 8 COMMUNICATING AIDS Amplitude Conventional Formant pass High boost Off Bass boost Audio frequency

TX Inhibit ON:
Switch the function ON or OFF via Menu No. 54. The default is OFF. Transmission is allowed. Transmission is not allowed. CHANGING FREQUENCY WHILE TRANSMITTING Moving your frequency while transmitting is usually an unwise practice due to the risk of interfering with other stations. However, if necessary, by using the Tuning control you can change the operating frequency while transmitting. You also can change the XIT offset frequency while in transmit mode. While transmitting, if you select a frequency outside the transmit frequency range, the transceiver is automatically forced to receive mode. If you selected transmit mode by pressing [SEND], transmission will not resume until you select a frequency inside the transmit frequency range, at which time you must press [SEND] again. 41 8 COMMUNICATING AIDS CW BREAK-IN Break-in allows you to transmit CW without manually switching between transmit and receive modes. Two types of Break-ins are available: Semi Break-in and Full Break-in. Semi Break-in:
When the key contacts open, the transceiver automatically waits for the passage of the time period that you have selected. The transceiver then returns to receive mode. Full Break-in:
As soon as the key contacts open, the transceiver returns to receive mode. USING SEMI BREAK-IN OR FULL BREAK-IN 1 Press [CW/ FSK/ REV] to select CW mode. CW appears. 2 Press [VOX/ LEVEL]. The VOX LED lights. 3 Press [FUNC], [KEY/ DELAY]. The current setting (Full or delay time) appears. The default is Full Break-in. 4 Turn the MULTI/ CH control to select Full Break-in or a delay time for Semi Break-in. Delay time ranges from 5 to 100 (50 ms to 1000 ms) in steps of 5. 5 Begin sending. The transceiver automatically switches to transmit mode. When FBK (Full Break-in) is selected: The transceiver immediately switches to receive mode when the key opens. When a delay time is selected: The transceiver switches to receive mode after the delay time that you have selected has passed. 6 Press [FUNC], [KEY/ DELAY] again. Note: Full Break-in cannot be used with the TL-922/922A linear amplifier. ELECTRONIC KEYER This transceiver has a built-in electronic keyer that can be used by connecting a keyer paddle to the transceivers rear panel. Refer to Keys and Keyboards for CW Operation {page 3} for details regarding this connection. The built-in keyer supports lambic operation. 42 CHANGING KEYING SPEED The keying speed of the electronic keyer is fully adjustable. Selecting the appropriate speed is important in order to send error-free CW that other operators can copy solidly. Selecting a speed that is beyond your keying ability will only result in mistakes. You will obtain the best results by selecting a speed that is close to the speed used by the other station. 1 Press [CW/ FSK/ REV] to select CW mode. CW appears. 2 Press [KEY/ DELAY]. The current keying speed appears. The default is 20 (WPM). 3 While keying the paddle and listening to the transmit sidetone, turn the MULTI/ CH control to select the appropriate speed. The speeds range from 10 (WPM) to 60
(WPM), in steps of 1. The larger the number, the faster the speed. 4 Press [KEY/ DELAY] again to complete the setting. Note: When using the semi-automatic Bug function, the selected speed applies only to the rate that dots are sent. AUTO WEIGHTING The electronic keyer can automatically change the dot/dash weighting. Weighting is the ratio of dash length to dot length. The weighting changes with your keying speed, thus making your keying easier for other operators to copy. Use Menu No. 33 to switch Auto Weighting ON or OFF. The default is ON. When Auto Weighting is OFF, the weighting is locked as 1:3.0 regardless of the keying speed. n Reverse Keying Weight Ratio Auto Weighting increases the weighting as you increase your keying speed. However, the electronic keyer also can decrease the weighting as you increase your keying speed. To switch this function ON, access Menu No. 34, and select ON. The default is OFF. esreveR gniyeK thgieW FFO NO

Semi-automatic keys are also known as Bugs. When this function is ON, dots are generated in the normal manner by the electronic keyer. Dashes, however, are manually generated by the operator by holding the keyer paddle closed for the appropriate length of time. To switch this function ON, access Menu No. 35, and select ON. The default is OFF. Note: When the Bug Key function is ON, CW Message Memory
(see below) cannot be used. CW MESSAGE MEMORY This transceiver has three memory channels for storing CW messages. Each memory channel can store approximately 50 characters. These memory channels are ideal for storing contest exchanges that you want to send repeatedly. Stored messages can be played back to check message content or for transmitting. The electronic keyer has a function that allows you to interrupt playback and manually inject your own keying. To switch this function ON, access Menu No. 30, and select ON. The default is OFF. The electronic keyer can also repeatedly play back the message that you stored. To switch this function ON, access Menu No. 23 and select ON. The default is OFF. For repetitive message playback, you can change the interval between each series of messages. Use Menu No. 29B, and select the time in the range of 0 to 60 seconds. Note:
u This function cannot be used when the Bug Key function is ON. u Operating the keyer paddle with Menu No. 30 OFF cancels message playback. Even if message playback does not stop because of your keying start timing, you can cancel playback by pressing [CLR]. n Storing CW Messages 1 Press [CW/ FSK/ REV] to select CW mode. CW appears. 8 COMMUNICATING AIDS 4 Begin sending using the keyer paddle. The message you send is stored in memory. 5 To complete the message storage, press
[CLR] to stop. When the memory becomes full, recording automatically stops. Note: If you do not operate the keyer paddle after starting to record a message, a pause is stored in the channel. n Checking CW Messages without Transmitting 1 Press [CW/ FSK/ REV] to select CW mode. CW appears. 2 If VOX is ON, press [VOX/ LEVEL] to switch it OFF. 3 Press [1/ CH 1/REC], [2/ CH 2/REC], or
[3/ CH 3/REV] to select the channel to be played back. The message is played back. To play back the messages stored in the other channels in sequence, press the corresponding channel keys during playback. Up to three channels can be queued at the same time. While playing back the messages, you can also adjust the keyer speed by pressing
[KEY/ DELAY] and turning the MULTI/ CH control. To interrupt playback, press [CLR]. n Transmitting CW Messages Messages can be transmitted using Semi Break-
in/ Full Break-in or manual TX/RX switching. 1 Press [CW/ FSK/ REV] to select CW mode. 2 If VOX is ON, press [VOX/ LEVEL]. CW appears. The VOX LED turns off. 3 Press [FUNC] and [1/ CH 1/REC],
[2/ CH 2/REC], or [3/ CH 3/REC] to select a memory channel to be recorded. 2 To use Semi Break-in/ Full Break-in, press
[VOX/ LEVEL]. The VOX LED lights. Otherwise, press [SEND]. 3 Press [1/ CH 1/REC], [2/ CH 2/REC], or
[3/ CH 3/REC] to select the channel to be played back. The message is played back and transmitted automatically. To transmit the messages stored in the other channels in sequence, press the corresponding channel keys during playback. Up to three channels can be queued at the same time. 43 2 Press [+] to select ON. 3 Press [MENU] to store the settings and exit the Menu mode. AUTO CW TX IN SSB MODE If you operate both SSB and CW modes, you can configure the transceiver to change the operating mode from SSB (USB or LSB) to CW and then transmit in CW mode when you operate the CW keyers. 1 Press [MENU], then turn the MULTI/ CH control to access Menu No. 36. 2 Press [+] to select ON. 3 Press [MENU] to store the settings and exit the Menu mode. Note: You must switch the break-in function ON to change the mode and transmit in CW mode {Page 42}. 8 COMMUNICATING AIDS While playing back the messages, you can also adjust the keyer speed by pressing
[KEY/ DELAY] and turning the MULTI/ CH control. To interrupt transmission, press [CLR]. 4 If you pressed [SEND] in step 2, press [SEND]
again to return to receive mode. n Changing the Inter-message Interval Time For the message playback repeat, select Menu No. 29A and set it ON. You can also change the interval playback time of the message. Use Menu No. 29B, and select the time in the range of 0 to 60 seconds, in steps of 1 second. Note: The Menu 29A and 29B settings are shared with the voice communication modes when the optional DRU-3A is installed. n Changing the Sidetone Volume Turning the MAIN AF or SUB AF control does not change the CW sidetone playback volume. To change the CW sidetone volume, access Menu No. 13 and OFF, or 1 to 9. n Insert Keying If you operate a CW keyer manually while playing back a recorded CW message, the transceiver stops playing back the message. However, during contests or regular QSOs, you may sometimes want to insert a different number or message at a certain point in the recorded message. In this case, first record the CW message as usual
{page 43}, without the number or message you want to insert. Then, access Menu No. 30 and select ON. Now if you operate a CW keyer while you play back a recorded message, the transceiver pauses the playback of the recorded message, instead of stopping it. When you finish sending the number or message with the keyer, the transceiver resumes playback of the message. FREQUENCY CORRECTION FOR CW If you operate both SSB and CW modes, you would sometimes use SSB mode (USB or LSB) just to watch and listen CW signals. It is fine just to monitor those CW signals but you have experienced that changing the mode from SSB to CW results losing the target CW signal. This is because the frequency on the display always shows the true carrier frequency for all modes. If you want the transceiver to shift the receiving frequency to trace the receiving CW signal when changing the mode from SSB (USB or LSB) to CW, switch this function ON. The transceiver shifts the receiving frequency when changing the mode from SSB to CW. So, you can still hear the target signal and instantly trasmit the signal in CW, without adjusting the frequency. 1 Press [MENU], then turn the MULTI/ CH control to access Menu No. 37. 44 SUB-RECEIVER SUB-RECEIVER The TS-2000 transceiver is equipped with 2 independent receivers. The main transceiver can receive from 30 kHz to the UHF band (or 1.2 GHz band if the optional UT-XX is installed) while the sub-
receiver can receive signals in FM or AM mode on the VHF (144 MHz) or UHF (430/ 440MHz) band. You can assign the sub receiver to monitor the local repeater activities or your club channel while you are operating on the HF/ 50MHz or VHF/ UHF/ (Optional 1.2 GHz) bands with the main tranceiver. Since the TS-2000 also has a built-in TNC, you can assign the sub-receiver to monitor the local DX PacketCluster channel activities without using an external TNC. If a new DX station is reported to the DX Packet Cluster, the transceiver automatically displays the DX station data. If desired, you can further transfer the DX frequency information to the main tranceiver to watch and instantly make contact with the DX station {page 53}. TX BAND AND CONTROL BAND In this manual, the frequency on the left of the display is referred to as the MAIN band and the frequency on the right is called the SUB band. To understand how to control the MAIN band and SUB band frequencies and functions, please note the differences between the TX band and the Control band, below. TX BAND Press [MAIN] to display PTT and CTRL icons on the MAIN band. When PTT is on the MAIN band display, the MAIN band is currently selected as the transmission band. You can use the MAIN band frequency to transmit signals or to control the main transceiver functions. If you press [SUB], the PTT and CTRL icons move to the SUB band display. This means that the SUB band is now selected as the transmission band and controls the functions. You can use the SUB band frequency to transmit signals or control the sub receiver functions. CONTROL BAND On some occasions, you may need to adjust the frequency and/ or functions for the band you are not transmitting on. To do this, press [CTRL]. For example, if both PTT and CTRL are on the MAIN band display, pressing [CTRL] will move CTRL to the SUB band display. PTT remains on the MAIN band display. This allows you to continue transmitting on the MAIN band while you adjust the functions of the sub-receiver. RECEIVING ACTIVATING THE SUB-RECEIVER Press the SUB AF control to switch the sub-receiver ON or OFF. The orange LED above the SUB AF/
SQL control lights when the sub-receiver is switched ON. Note: When switching ON or OFF the sub-receiver, you may hear a poping sound from the speaker. This is not a malfunction. CONTROLLING THE SUB-RECEIVER To control all the available functions of the sub-
receiver, press [SUB] to transfer the controls and transmission capability to the sub-receiver. The PTT and CTRL icons move from the main transceiver to the sub-receiver. When you press [SEND] or the microphone PTT switch, the transceiver transmits on the SUB band frequency. Or, if you would like to trasmit and receive on the MAIN band while adjusting the sub receiver functions, simply press [CTRL]. Only the CTRL icon moves from the main transceiver display to the sub display. The PTT icon remains on the main transceiver display. With this setup, you can continue receiving and transmitting on the main transceiver VFO frequency(ies) while you are making adjustments to the sub-receiver functions. If you need to adjust only the frequency of the sub-
receiver, you can simply turn the RIT/ SUB control. However, this works only when you are operating the main transceiver without the RIT/ XIT functions. When operating the main transceiver with the RIT/
XIT function, first, switch OFF the RIT/ XIT function by pressing [RIT/ CW TUNE] and/or [XIT/ ALT], or press [CTRL] to move the controls to the SUB band. Then turn the MAIN control, the MULTI/ CH control or the RIT/ SUB control to adjust the SUB band frequency. SELECTING A BAND Press [SUB] or [CTRL] to assign the function controls to the sub-receiver. Press [+] or [] to select the 144 MHz or the 430
(440) MHz band. 45 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. 46 4 SUB-RECEIVER 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. elacS S yalpsiD etatSnoitcnuF evieceR timsnarT htgnertslangisdevieceR rewoptuptuotimsnarT RWP 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 4 SUB-RECEIVER 144 MHz and 430 (440) MHz bands, activating the attenuator function for the sub-receiver also causes the function to switch ON for the same band of the main transceiver. PRE-AMPLIFIER The pre-amplifier amplifies the level of received signals. It is useful when the receiving signal is weak. If there is no strong interference from adjacent frequencies, switch the pre-amplifier ON to raise the receiving signal level. Since the main transceiver and sub-receiver share the same antenna for the 144 MHz and 430 (440) MHz bands, activating the pre-amplifier function for the sub-receiver also causes the function to switch ON for the same band of the main transceiver. DUAL WATCH If different frequency bands are set on the main transceiver and sub-receiver, you can still monitor the other band activities while transmitting on the TX band. It is useful that you can still monitor the local repeater frequency (VHF or UHF band) while you are working on a DX station on the HF band of the main transceiver. If you have the same frequency band (VHF or UHF band) for the main transceiver and sub-receiver, you can monitor both frequencies independently at the same time. However, both receivers will temporarily mute when you transmit, because the transceiver shares the same 144 MHz and 430 (440) MHz band antenna between the main transceiver and sub-
receiver. SCAN All types of scanning are also available for the sub-
receiver. However, the operating frequency range is limited to the sub-receivers frequency coverage. Refer to SCAN {page 66} for details on how to operate the scan function. NOISE REDUCTION Since the sub-receiver can receive only in FM or AM mode, DSP noise reduction 1 (Line Enhanced) is available to reduce the noise from the receiving singals. Refer to REJECTING INTERFACE {page 56} for details on how to control and adjust the function. TRANSMITTING First, confirm that the PTT icon is on the SUB band display. Press [SEND] or press and hold Mic [PTT], then speak into the microphone in your normal tone of voice. When you finish speaking, press [SEND]
again or release Mic [PTT]. SELECTING A TRANSMIT POWER You can also adjust the output power for FM mode in the 144 and 430 (440) MHz bands when you are operating the sub-receiver. 1 Press [PWR]. The current transmit power appears. 2 Turn the MULTI/ CH control counterclockwise to reduce the power or clockwise to increase the power. Note:
u The selectable range varies depending on the current band and mode {page 20}. u Output power configuration is also reflected in the main transceiver. MICROPHONE GAIN Access Menu No. 41 and select L (low), M
(medium), or H (high). Note: When using the optional MC-90 microphone in FM mode, select high microphone gain. Microphone sensitivity is low in FM mode; this may cause insufficient modulation. For other microphones, select M (medium) or L (low). FM REPEATER OPERATION You can also configure an independent repeater offset frequency for the sub-receiver, if necessary. Refer to FM REPEATER OPERATION {page 32} for details. REVERSE FUNCTION Press [TF-SET] to switch the sub-receiver Reverse function ON (or OFF). R appears while the Reverse function is active on the sub-receiver. Refer to REVERSE FUNCTION {page 34} for details. 47 AUTOMATIC SIMPLEX CHECK (ASC) You can also use ASC functions on the 144 MHz and 430 (440) MHz bands of the sub-receiver. While using a repeater, ASC periodically monitors the strength of the uplink frequency to check the signals. Press and hold [TF-SET] until [R] appears on the SUB band display. Refer to AUTOMATIC SIMPLEX CHECK {page 34}
for function and control details. TRANSMITTING A TONE You can assign another Tone to the sub-receiver. Refer to TRANSMITTING A TONE {page 33} for function and control details. MEMORY You can also utilize all the memory functions
{page 58}, including Quick Memory {page 64}, while you are operating the sub-receiver. However, the operating frequency range is limited to the sub-
receivers frequency coverage. You cannot recall any memory channels that are outside the the sub-
receivers frequency coverage. These channels are automatically skipped when they are recalled on the sub-receiver. 48 SPECIALIZED COMMUNICATIONS PACKET RADIO Packet is a unit of data transmitted as a whole from one computer to another, on a network. Packets can be transmitted on radio waves as well as on communications lines. Besides a transceiver and a computer, all you need is a terminal node controller
(TNC) or Multimode Communications Processor
(MCP). One of the tasks of TNCs and MCPs is to convert data packets to audio tones, and vice versa. This transceiver has a built-in TNC which allows you to use basic (not full) packet applications. A variety of packet applications developed by hams include packet bulletin board systems (PBBSs). PBBSs are created and maintained by volunteers called System Operators (SysOp). You may access one of your local PBBSs to send e-mail, download files, or obtain various useful information. Thousands of PBBSs, which have formed a worldwide network, relay e-mail to their intended destinations around the world. PBBS When you access a local PBBS for the first time, you often need to register as a new user. After you are successfully registered, it will then be available as your home PBBS. E-mail addressed to you will be held under a directory, called a mailbox, on your home PBBS. To send e-mail, you must designate the address of a recipient, using his or her call sign and the call sign of his or her home PBBS; ex. KD6NUH@KJ6HC. In this example, the e-mail is addressed to KD6NUH whose home PBBS is KJ6HC. If your home PBBS cannot find KJ6HC in its address file to forward your mail, you must designate the address in more detail. You may enter KD6NUH@KJ6HC.#ABC.CA, or KD6NUH@KJ6HC.#ABC.CA.USA, or up to KD6NUH@KJ6HC.#ABC.CA.USA.NA, as necessary. The complete address of a recipient living in the U.S.A., for example, should include an appropriate region code (preceded by a #), state, country, and continent abbreviations, as above. For further information, consult reference books which should be available at any store that handles Amateur Radio equipment. Web pages relating to Packet will also be helpful. On Internet search engines, use Packet Radio as key words to find those Web pages. Note:
u Unlike a TNC, a Multimode Communications Processor (MCP) serves as a communications interface in several digital modes such as Packet, RTTY, and AMTOR. You can cause it to switch among the modes by sending a single command from your computer. u If there is an amateur radio club in your area, consider becoming a member. You can often learn more in an hour from experienced hobbyists, than in a month of independent research. Ask on the local repeaters, or contact your national amateur radio organization (the ARRL in the U.S.A.) for information on local amateur radio clubs. Youll be glad you did. BUILT-IN TNC This transceiver has a built-in TNC which conforms to the AX.25 protocol. This protocol is used for communication between TNCs. The TNC accepts data from your personal computer and assembles it into packets. It then converts those packets to audio tones which the transceiver can transmit. The TNC also takes audio tones from the transceiver, converts them to data for the computer, and checks for errors in the data. In order to activate the built-in TNC, access Menu No. 55 and select ON. The defulat is OFF. TNC will appear to show that the built-in TNC is ON. The TNC mainly functions in Command or Converse mode. First, you should learn the difference between these two modes. Command mode When you select Packet mode, the TNC enters Command mode. A cmd: prompt appears on the computer screen. You can type commands from the computer keyboard to change the settings of the TNC. When in Converse mode, press
[Ctrl]+[C] on the keyboard to return to Command mode. Converse mode The TNC enters this mode when a link with the target station is established. On the computer keyboard, type an appropriate command and a message if necessary, then press [Enter] or
[Return]. What you type is converted into packets and transmitted over the air. When in Command mode, type CONVERSE, CONV, or K to enter Converse mode. For the commands supported by the built-in TNC, see TNC COMMANDS LIST on page XX. Note:
u Not all functions available via conventional TNCs are supported by the TNC built in this transceiver. u The built-in TNC automatically reinitiates when a malfunction is detected; this does not designate that the transceiver is defective. 49 7 SPECIALIZED COMMUNICATIONS PREPARATION 1 Connect the transceiver to your personal computer (via an external TNC or MCP if desired). See COMPUTER {page XX} and MCP AND TNC {page XX}. 2 Install an appropriate terminal program onto the personal computer. A variety of freeware and shareware programs can be obtained in various ways. Consult your reference material or other packeteers. 3 Initiate the terminal program and set the following parameters on the personal computer:

The TNC does not transmit when signals are present on the main band or sub-band. RADIO TELETYPEWRITING (RTTY) RTTY is the data communications mode with the longest history. It was originally designed for use with mechanical teletypewriters which were often used before personal computers become common. Now you can easily start operating RTTY with a personal computer and MCP. Unlike Packet, each time you type a letter, it is transmitted over the air. What you typed is transmitted and displayed on the computer screen of the recipient. RTTY operation uses frequency shift keying (FSK) and the 5-bit Baudot code or the 7-bit ASCII code to transmit information. For the cable connections, see RTTY {page XX}. For further information, consult reference books about Amateur Radio. 1 Access Menu No. 38 and select an FSK shift. FSK shift is the difference in frequencies between a mark and a space.

This manual does not describe much about these modes. For details, consult reference books about Amateur Radio. AMTOR (AMateur Teleprinting Over Radio) has brought amateur HF digital communication into the computer age. It is the first error-free HF digital mode by which data bursts (not steady stream of data) are transmitted. PacTOR (Packet Teleprinting On Radio) has combined the best features of both AMTOR and Packet to improve the efficiency of HF digital communications. Like Packet and AMTOR, PacTOR sends error-free data using a handshaking method. Of all the Amateur Radio HF digital modes, CLOVER offers the best overall performance using a complicated modulation technique, automatic power adjustment and other advanced features. It may allow communications to be maintained under the worst conditions. G-TOR (Golay-coded Teleprinting Over Radio) is relatively new Amateur Radio digital mode currently in use. G-TOR was developed specifically to handle the adverse conditions of communicating, across the solar system, with spacecraft during their missions. PSK31 is developed by an RTTY enthusiast in the Great Britain, G3PLX. The operating technique is very similar to the conventional Baudot-RTTY, although a more sensitive fine-tuning is required, as a PSK31 signal requires a tuning accuracy of a few Herts. A specialty of PSK31 is that it allows the entire ASC II character set, including the back space character. Your MCP should handle some or all of the above modes. For available modes on your MCP, consult the instruction manual for the MCP. For the cable connections, see MCP AND TNC {page XX}. On most HF bands, audio frequency shift keying
(AFSK) is used for the above modes. This method of modulation uses audio tones therefore either LSB or USB mode should be selected. Traditionally, LSB is used, similar to RTTY, with the exception of AMTOR which is normally operated in USB. AMTOR activity can be found on or near 14075 and 3637.5 kHz. These are also good starting places when searching for PacTOR, Clover, G-TOR, or PSK31 stations. Note: When using SSB mode for digital operation, use a fast AGC setting and switch your Speech Processor OFF. SLOW SCAN TV/ FACSIMILE Slow-scan Television (SSTV) is a popular application for transmitting still images over the air, from one station to another. Instead of trying to describe your station, simply showing it is much faster. Transmitting images over the air requires a scan converter, besides a transceiver. A scan converter transforms images taken with a video camera into audio signals that can be fed into your transceiver. The recipients scan converter transforms audio signals back into video images so that he or she can view them on a TV set. Nowadays instead of a scan converter, many hams use a personal computer, a software application, and an interface attached to the transceiver. This is much cheaper, more flexible, and does not require a TV set. In recent years, many low cost digital cameras have become available. You can transfer images from these cameras into your computer. For further information, consult reference books about Amateur Radio. The frequencies (measured in kHz) commonly used for SSTV operation are listed below:

Fax (facsimile) is one of the original image transmission modes. Using this mode allows you to exchange more detailed graphics than SSTV. Amateur Radio fax functions much like old analog fax systems. It scans paper and converts acquired image data into a series of tones representing white and black portions of the image. Because fax requires longer transmission time, you should use it only when band conditions are stable with strong signals. Popular fax frequencies include the following:
7245, 14245, 21345 (International Net), and 28945 kHz Operating on SSTV or fax mainly involves learning the functionality of your computer application or accessory hardware that supports these modes. Consult the instruction manual that comes with your software or accessory equipment. Note: When operating either SSTV or fax, use a fast AGC setting and switch OFF your Speech Processor, for best results. 52 DX PACKETCLUSTER TUNE DX PacketCluster is a packet network which consist of nodes and stations who are interested in DXing and contesting. If one station finds a DX station on the air, he or she sends a notice to his or her node. This node then passes the information to all its local stations as well as another node. This transceiver can display received DX information and hold the latest information on up to 10 DX stations. Node Node Station Node This transceiver is also capable of automatically tuning in a reported DX station. In order to use the Auto Tune function, access Menu No. 49A and select AUTO; the default is MANUAL. 1 Press [A/B] to select VFO A or VFO B. 2 Press [SUB] to activate the sub-band receiver. 3 The SUB band LED lights orange. 4 Tune to the frequency of the target DX PacketCluster node on the sub-receiver. 5 Press [FUNC], [SET/ P.C.T.] to enter the PacktClusters Monitor mode. Each time new DX PacketCluster data is received, an alarm sounds and the information is displayed on the sub-band as shown below:
<DISPLAY>
Press [FUNC], [SET/ P.C.T.] again to exit this mode. 6 If you are using the Auto Tune function, press
[SET/ P.C.T.]. The main band is tuned to the frequency of the reported DX station, on the sub-band. Transmitting on the tuned frequency deactivates the Auto Tune. Press [SET/ P.C.T.]
again to reactivate it, if necessary. To access desired DX information from memory, press QUICK MEMO [MR], then turn the MULTI/ CH control. Press [SET/ P.C.T.] to tune the main band to the selected station. Press QUICK MEMO [MR]
again to quit the DX information display. The transceiver can be set to output a Morse code instead of a beep when new DX PacketCluster data is received. Access Menu No. 49B and select MORSE. VOICE or OFF can also be set. Note:
u You cannot send DX information to a node using this function. u The DX information in memory is cleared when the transceiver power is turned OFF. 7 SPECIALIZED COMMUNICATIONS SATELLITE OPERATION It was in December of 1961 when the first Amateur satellite named OSCAR I was launched. OSCAR stands for Orbiting Satellite Carrying Amateur Radio. Since then quite a few of Amateur satellites have been launched, and about 20 satellites are currently in orbit serving thousands of hams throughout the world. Some Amateur satellites contain transponders that receive analog signals in one band, amplify them, shift their frequencies to another band, and retransmit them. You can enjoy communications in SSB or CW with other stations via these analog satellites. Most of them are orbiting at relatively low altitudes and are called LEOs (Low Earth Orbit). Amateur satellites receive (uplink) on one band and transmit (downlink) on another. Different combinations of uplink and downlink bands are represented by modes such as A, B, and K. For example, a Mode K satellite receives on the 21 MHz band and transmits on the 29 MHz band. This transceiver can handle the modes listed in the table. edoM dnaBknilpU dnaBknilnwoD A B AJ K T zHM441 zHM)044(034 zHM92 zHM441 zHM441 zHM12 zHM12 zHM)044(034 zHM92 zHM441 In order to work the satellites, you need a rotator that allows azimuth and elevation control, plus a high-gain directional antenna. Your antenna has to track satellites which travel from horizon to horizon. However, many hams have been successfully using fixed omnidirectional antennas. If you are using a directional antenna, it would be wise to obtain a pass prediction program. Doppler Shift is another aspect that you must take into account when working the satellites. As a target satellite travels away, frequencies on which you will receive change. This transceiver has a function that automatically keeps the sum or difference between the two frequencies identical when you change the receive frequency. For further information, consult Internet Web pages relating to Amateur satellites. On Internet search engines, use AMSAT as key words to find those Web pages. AMSAT (Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation) is the world wide organization of Amateur Satellite operators and supporters. From AMSAT Web pages, you can also download a variety of utilities, including pass prediction programs, which will ease your satellite operations. 53 7 SPECIALIZED COMMUNICATIONS 1 Press [SATL] to select Satellite mode. The default downlink (435.9 MHz) and uplink
(145.9 MHz) frequencies appear. TRACE, R, and SATL appear to indicate the current selections.
<DISPLAY>
2 On VFO A, tune to the downlink frequency of the satellite. 3 Press [LSB/ USB/ AUTO] or [CW/ FSK/ REV] to select LSB, USB, or CW mode. 4 Press [A/B] to select VFO B. 5 Tune to the uplink frequency of the satellite. 6 Press [LSB/ USB/ AUTO] or [CW/ FSK/ REV] to select LSB, USB, or CW mode. 7 If you are using a directional antenna, adjust its azimuth and elevation. If you have a pass prediction program, you can use it to identify the exact location of the satellite. If you are using a fixed omnidirectional antenna, skip this step. 8 With time, fine tune to the changing downlink frequency of the satellite using the Tuning control. As you adjust the downlink frequency, the Trace function automatically changes the uplink frequency so that the sum of the two frequencies is kept the same. If necessary, press [A=B] to quit the Trace function. TRACE disappears. The trace function can also change the uplink frequency so that the difference between the two frequencies is kept the same. Press
[SPLIT]. R disappears. You can also store all the above selections in up to 10 memory channels. Press [M.IN], then turn the MULTI/ CH control to select a channel from 0 to 9. Press [M.IN] again to store the selection in the channel. To recall the desired channel after storing, rotate the MULTI/ CH control while in Satellite mode. In order to use the MULTI/ CH control to change the frequency when in Satellite mode, press [VFO/ M]. The MULTI/ CH LED turns off. 54 REJECTING INTERFERENCE DSP FILTERS KENWOOD digital signal processing (DSP) technology is used for the functions described in this section. Using DSP filtering, the TS-2000 frees you from installing many analog filters for each operating mode. Additionally, you can control the bandwidth, cancel the multiple jamming beat, and reduce the noise level using DSP filtering technology. CHANGING THE RECEIVE BANDWIDTH For improving interference reduction capability, this transceiver also provides IF filters designed using DSP technology. When in SSB, FM, or AM mode, you can change the filter bandwidth by altering its low and/or high cut-off frequency. For CW and FSK modes, you can change the filter bandwidth by directly specifying a bandwidth. Changing the filter bandwidth does not affect the current receive frequency. Note:
u The receive filter bandwidth can be changed only on the main transceiver. u AF DSP filter is used for FM mode. n SSB/ FM/ AM Modes 1 Select SSB, FM, or AM mode. 2 Press [DISP/ SEL]. The current filter selection appears. 3 Turn the LO/ WIDTH control clockwise to raise the low cut-off frequency, or counterclockwise to lower the low cut-off frequency.

Turn the HI/ SHIFT control to adjust the shift frequency from 400 to 1000 Hz in steps of 50 Hz. The default shift frequency is 800 Hz. 5 To return the display to the current operating mode, press [DISP/ SEL]. 55 9 REJECTING INTERFERENCE NOTCH FILTER (SSB) Auto Notch filter automatically locates and attenuates any single interfering tone within the receive pass band. This function operates digitally at the IF filter level, hence it can affect your S-meter reading and may also affect (slightly attenuate) your desired signal. However, controlling the AGC level by notching out the strong interfering beat signals could bring up the desired SSB signal that is covered by the interfering beat signal. If the interfering tone is weak, you may find that Beat Cancel eliminates them more effectively. Receive pass band Interfering tones Desired signal Before After A.N. appears when the function is ON. Press [A.N./ LEVEL] to toggle the Auto Notch Filter ON and OFF. The interfering beat signals are notched out. If the interfering beat signals change the tone frequency randomly, you can adjust the Auto Notch level. Press [FUNC], [A.N./ LEVEL] to access the Auto Notch level adjustment, then turn the MULTI/ CH control to select the level from 0 to 5. Level 1 is the slowest beat tone tracking speed and Level 5 is the fastest. Level 0 terminates the beat tone tracking. BEAT CANCEL (SSB/ AM) Beat Cancel uses an adaptive filter and attenuates more than one cyclic interference within the receive pass band. The adaptive filter changes its characteristics according to the nature of the signal being received at any given moment. You can use automatic Beat Cancel when in SSB or AM mode. Receive pass band Interfering tones Desired signal Before After Press [B.C./ MANUAL] to toggle the Auto Beat Cancel ON and OFF. B. C. appears when the function is ON. If desired, you can manually control the beat cancel frequency. 56 Press [FUNC], [B.C./ MANUAL], then turn the MANUAL BC control to select the single Beat Cancel frequency manually. You can select the beat cancel frequency from approx. 230 Hz to 3300 Hz by turning the control. Turn the control clockwise to select a higher frequency and counterclockwise to select a lower frequency. Since the DSP Automatic Beat Cancel processes the incoming signals at the AF stage, strong beat signals may affect the AGC level. In this case, use the Auto Notch Filter instead, to remove the beat signal from the IF passband filter. Note: While receiving intermittent CW signals, the transceiver clicks. This is not a malfunction. NOISE REDUCTION
(N.R.1: ALL MODES, N.R.2: SSB/ CW/ FSK/ AM) This transceiver provides two types of Noise Reduction functions (1 and 2) for reducing random noise which interferes with the desired signal. Trying them both is the easiest way to judge which function works more effectively under the current conditions. Normally, select Noise Reduction 1 (Line Enchanced) in SSB mode and Noise Reduction 2 (SPAC) in CW mode. Press [N.R./ LEVEL] to toggle between Noise Reduction 1, Noise Reduction 2, and OFF. N. R. 1 or N.R. 2 appears, depending on which function is selected. n Setting the N.R. 1 Level Adjustment The Noise Reduction 1 (Line Enchanced Method) uses an adaptive filter to reduce the noise element from the received signals. When the S/N ratio is reasonably goo in SSB, using N.R.1 will improve the S/N further. While the N.R. 1 is ON, you can further adjust the noise reduction level by pressing [FUNC],
[N.R./ LEVEL], then turn MULTI/ CH control to select the level from 1 to 10 or AUTO. The default is AUTO. n Setting the N.R. 2 Time Constant You can change the correlation time for Noise Reduction 2 (SPAC). When in SSB mode, select the correlation time that allows you to hear signals with more clarity. When receiving CW, it is best to select the longest correlation time that allows reliable reception. The longer the correlation time, the better the S/N ratio. When Noise Reduction 2 is ON, press [FUNC],
[N.R./ LEVEL], then turn the MULTI/ CH control to select the correlation time from 2 ms to 20 ms. The default is 20 ms. Note:
u Using Noise Reduction 2 in SSB mode may lower the clarity of signals or induce pulse noise, depending on the conditions. u Only N.R. 1 is available for the sub-receiver. However, the level cannot be adjusted. 9 REJECTING INTERFERENCE NOISE BLANKER Noise Blanker was designed to reduce pulse noise such as that generated by automobile ignitions. Noise Blanker does not function in FM mode. Press [NB/ LEVEL] to toggle the Noise Blanker ON and OFF. NB appears when the function is ON. ATTENUATOR The Attenuator reduces the level of received signals. This function is useful when there is strong interference from adjacent frequencies. Press [ATT/ F LOCK] to toggle the Attenuator ON and OFF. ATT appears when the function is ON. You can further adjust the Noise blanker level from 1 to 10. The default level is 6. Press [FUNC], [NB/ LEVEL], then turn the MULTI/ CH control to adjust the noise blanker level. NB LEVEL and the current level appear on the sub dot-matrix display. Note: Noise Blanker is available only for the main transceiver in SSB, CW, FSK, and AM modes. PRE-AMPLIFIER Switching the Pre-amplifier OFF may help reduce interference from adjacent frequencies. Press [PRE/ LOCK A] to toggle the Pre-amplifier ON and OFF. PRE appears when the function is ON. The ON/OFF setting will be automatically stored in the current band. Each time you select the same band, the same setting will be automatically selected. The frequency range of each band is provided in the following table (under ATTENUATOR). Note: If the same frequency (144 MHz or 430 (440) MHz) band is selected on both the main transceiver and the sub-receiver, the pre-amplifier can be switched ON or OFF for both receivers. This is because the main transceiver and sub-receiver share the same antenna. The ON/OFF setting will be automatically stored in the current band. Each time you select the same frequency band, the attenuator setting will be automatically recalled. The frequency range of each band is available below. rotaunettA

Use either method, depending on the relationship of the receive and transmit frequencies you store:
Simplex channels:
RX frequency = TX frequency Split-frequency channels:
RX frequency TX frequency Memory channels 290 to 299 can also be used as simplex channels. Note: When RIT or XIT is ON, the frequency that includes the RIT or XIT offset will be stored. n Simplex Channels 1 Press [A/B] to select VFO A or VFO B. t A or t B appears to show which VFO is selected. 2 Select the frequency, mode, etc. to be stored. 3 Press [M.IN] to enter Memory Scroll mode. To exit Memory Scroll mode and abort the storage process, press [CLR]. 4 Turn the MULTI/ CH control, or press Mic [UP]
or [DWN] to select a memory channel. You can also select a channel by entering a 3-digit number, such as 012, using the numeric keys. 5 Press [M.IN] again to store the data. The previous data stored in the channel is overwritten. MEMORY FEATURES MEMORY CHANNELS The TS-2000 provides you with 300 memory channels, numbered 00 to 299, for storing operating frequency data, modes and other information. Memory channels 00 to 289 are called Conventional Memory Channels. Memory channels 290 to 299 are designed for programming VFO tuning ranges and scan ranges. The data you can store is listed below:
Conventional memory is used for storing data you will often recall.

The memory channel that was last selected appears. n Split-Frequency Channels 1 Press [A/B] to select VFO A or VFO B. tA or tB appears to show which VFO is selected. 2 Select the frequency, mode, etc. to be stored. This frequency and mode will be used for transmitting. 3 Press [A/B] to select the other VFO. 4 Select the receive frequency and mode. 5 Press [SPLIT]. SPLIT appears. 6 Press [M.IN] to enter Memory Scroll mode. To exit Memory Scroll mode and abort the storage process, press [CLR]. 7 Turn the MULTI/ CH control, or press Mic [UP]
or [DWN] to select a memory channel. You can also select a channel by entering a 3-digit number, such as 012, using the numeric keys. 2 Turn the MULTI/ CH control, or press Mic [UP]
or [DWN] to select a memory channel. Continuously holding down Mic [UP] or
[DWN] steps the transceiver through the memory channels until the key is released. Memory channels which contain no data are skipped. You cannot change memory channels while transmitting. 3 To exit Memory Recall mode, press [VFO/M]. Note: Memory channels can also be changed while using the TF-SET function. 8 Press [M.IN] again to store the data. The previous data stored in the channel is overwritten. Note: When subtone frequencies differ between TX and RX while performing memory-VFO split operation, the subtone frequency for TX will be stored in the memory channel. 59 10 MEMORY FEATURES n Memory Scroll 1 Press [M.IN] to enter Memory Scroll mode. The memory channel that was last selected appears.
<TS-2000/Diagram 60-01>
2 Turn the MULTI/ CH control, or press Mic [UP]
or [DWN] to step through the memory channels. You can also change channels by entering a 3-digit number, such as 012, using the numeric keys, then pressing [ENT]. 3 To exit Memory Scroll mode, press [CLR]. The transceiver re-displays the memory channel or VFO frequency that was selected before you activated Memory Scroll. Note: Do not press [M.IN] again after entering Memory Scroll mode. Pressing [M.IN] results in over-writing the current VFO data to the memory channel you selected. n Temporary Frequency Changes After retrieving frequencies and associated data in Memory Recall mode, you can temporarily change the data without overwriting the contents of the memory channel. 1 Access Menu No. 06B and select ON. Skip this step when changing only the associated data (not the frequency). 2 Recall a memory channel. 3 Change the frequencies and associated data. Use only the Tuning control to select a frequency. 4 If necessary for future use, store the changed data in another memory channel. Refer to Channel Channel Transfer {page 61}. Note: Memory channel data can also be changed while using the TF-SET function. 60 MEMORY-VFO SPLIT OPERATION Under SPECIALIZED COMMUNICATING
{page XX}, you learned about split-frequency operation using two VFOs. Recalling a split-
frequency channel is another way to perform split-
frequency operation. If you access Menu No. 07 and select ON, you can also use a memory channel and a VFO together for this operation, as follows:
RX: Memory channel TX: VFO A or VFO B RX: VFO A or VFO B TX: Memory channel To use a memory channel for receiving:

* Visual Scan graphically shows how frequencies in a specific range are busy. Note:
u While using CTCSS or DCS, Scan stops only for the signals that contain the same CTCSS tone or DCS code that you selected. u When using S-meter Squelch, Scan stops when the received signal strength matches or exceeds the S-meter setting. Scan resumes 2 seconds after the signal level drops below the S-meter setting. u Pressing and holding Mic [PTT] causes Scan to temporarily stop if it is functioning on a non TX band. Pressing [PTT] on the scanning band causes Scan to stop. u Starting Scan switches OFF the Automatic Simplex Checker. NORMAL SCAN When you are operating the transceiver in VFO mode, 2 types of scanning are available. VFO Scan The transceiver scans the entire band of the frequency you selected. For example, if you are operating and receiving on the main transceivers VFO A at 14.195.00 MHz, it scans all the frequencies in the range of 30.00 kHz to 60.00000 MHz. (Refer to VFO frequency range in Appendix XX.) 66 Program Scan By programming the start and end frequency in Memory channels 290 ~ 299 {page 62}, you can limit the scanning frequency range. Since there are 10 memory channels (290 - 299) available for specifying the start and end frequency, you can select one or more (a maximum of 10) ranges to scan. This is useful when you are waiting for a DX station on a certain frequency but the station may appear on slightly higher or lower frequency. VFO SCAN VFO Scan scans the entire frequency range that is available for the current VFO. When the Program Scan frequency range is not programmed or no Scan Group is selected for the Program Scan, the transceiver also scans the entire frequency range available for the current VFO. If one or more Program Scan frequency ranges are programmed in memory channels 290 to 299:
1 Press [FUNC], [SCAN/ SG.SEL]. 2 If one or more memory channels are selected for the Program Scan, the selected channels are displayed in a larger font on the main dot-matrix display. In this case, press [/ DCS/SEL] to temporarily deselect all the channels. When there are no Scan Group channels selected, VFO SCN MODE appears on the sub dot-matrix display. 3 Press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] to return to the current VFO mode. 4 Press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] to start the VFO Scan. Note:
u While scanning, you can change the scan speed by turning the RIT/ SUB control. Turn the control clockwise/ counterclockwise to decrease/ increase the scan speed. The speed indicator appears on the main dot-matrix display, where P1 is the fastest speed and P9 is the slowest. u You cannot change the VFO Scan speed in FM mode. u You cannot change the VFO Scan speed on the sub-receiver. PROGRAM SCAN Program Scan monitors the range between the start and end frequencies that you have stored in Conventional memory channels 290 to 299. Refer to STORING FREQUENCY RANGES {page 62}
for details on how to store the start and end frequencies. You can select a maximum of 10 memory channels (Memory channels 290 to 299) and sequentially scan the ranges that you stored in these channels. Program Scan starts with the smallest channel number and repeats the sequence as described below. 1 Press [A/B] to select VFO A or VFO B. If you are operating the sub-receiver, press
[VFO/ M] to select VFO mode. 2 Press [FUNC], [SCAN/ SG.SEL]. 3 If no Program scan channel is selected, all memory channel numbers (from 290 to 299) are displayed in small fonts. Only the ones digit of each memory channel is displayed on the main dot-matrix display. 0 represents channel 290, 1 represents channel 291, 2 represents channel 292, etc. 4 To select the Program scan frequency range, press a numeric key 0 to 9. For example, press [3] for channel 293 only or press [3], [5],
[7] to select the channels 293, 295, and 297. When a channel is selected for the Program Scan, the number is displayed in a larger font. To temporarily deselect all the channels (290 to 299) so that you can perform the VFO Scan, press [/ DCS/ SEL]. (Refer to VFO SCAN on page 66) Note :
u At least one of the valid Program Scan channels (from 290 to 299) must be programmed and selected to perform the Program Scan. If no Program channel is selected or available for the Program Scan, the transceiver performs the VFO Scan. u When performing the Program Scan on the sub-receiver, the frequencies must be within the sub-receiver frequency range limitations. Otherwise, the Program scan cannot be performed. The same conditions apply to the main transceiver.
<DISPLAY>
11 SCAN 11 SCAN 5 Press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] to start the Program Scan. To quickly move towards a desired frequency while scanning, turn the Tuning control or the MULTI/ CH control, or press Mic [UP]/[DWN]. When in a mode other than FM mode, turning the RIT/ SUB control clockwise decreases the scan speed, and counterclockwise increases the speed. The current scan speed is shown on the display; P1 is the fastest speed and P9 is the slowest. While in FM mode, Scan automatically stops on a frequency where a signal is present. The transceiver will either remain on that channel for a short time (Time-operated mode) or until the signal drops out (Carrier-operated mode), depending on which mode you select via Menu No. 10 {page 68}. 6 To stop Scan, press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] or [CLR]. Note:
u If you are operating on the sub-receiver and perform the Program Scan, the sub-receiver automatically skips the memory channels that cannot be scanned on the sub-receiver. The same conditions also apply to the main transceiver. u If you have turned the MAIN SQL or SUB SQL control clockwise, far beyond the squelch threshold when in FM mode, Scan may fail to stop at a channel where a signal is present. If this happens, turn the MAIN SQL or SUB SQL control slightly counterclockwise. u If you press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] before storing any frequency range for memory channels 290 to 299, the transceiver starts VFO scan. u When the current receive frequency is within one of the ranges that you selected with channel numbers, Scan starts with the current frequency. The operating mode stored in the memory channel is used. u When the current receive frequency is outside all the ranges that you selected with the channel numbers, Scan starts with the start frequency stored in the smallest channel number. u The operating mode can be changed while scanning, but the memory channel is overwritten with the changed mode. u When the current Scan range is smaller than a single step of the MULTI/ CH control, turning the control clockwise causes Scan to jump to the start frequency, and counterclockwise to the end frequency. u Starting Program Scan switches OFF the RIT and XIT functions. u While in FM mode, the Program Scan monitors rounded off frequencies regardless of the Menu No. 04 setting. u You cannot change the scan speed on the sub-receiver. PROGRAM SCAN PARTIALLY SLOWED You can specify a maximum of 5 frequency points for each memory channel from 290 to 299 so that the Program Scan slows down the scanning speed. To specify the slow down frequency points, first program the start and end frequencies into a memory channel
(290 ~ 299) {page 62}. 1 Access Menu No. 07 to set the function ON
(default is OFF). 2 You can further configure the slow down frequency width. Access Menu No. 08 to select the range from 100 Hz to 500 Hz. Note: If you select, for example, 500 Hz for Menu No. 08, the Program Scan slows down to a 500 Hz width, centering the frequency you marked below. 67 11 SCAN 3 Press [VFO/ M] to recall the memory channel
(290 - 299) for which you want to specify the scan slow down frequencies. 4 Press [+] or [] to confirm the start or end frequency. 5 Turn the Tuning control to the center frequency point that you want the Program Scan to slow down. Press QUICK MEMO [M.IN] to mark the Slow down frequency point. The icon appears. 6 Repeat step 5 to specify the center slow down frequency points. You can specify a maximum of 5 frequency points for each channel. 7 If you want to clear the slow down frequeny points that you previously stored, press and hold QUICK MEMO [M.IN] for 1 second. A confirmation beep sounds and the transceiver clears all the slow down frequency points you specified in the memory channel. Note: You must clear all the previous slow down frequency points; you cannot clear only specific points. 8 Press [VFO/ M] to return to VFO mode. 9 Press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] to start the Program Scan with the slow down frequency point(s). Note:
u During the Program Scan, you can turn the RIT/ SUB control to adjust the scanning speed. Turn the control clockwise/ counter-
clockwise to slow down/ speed up the scan. The Program Scan speed indicator appears on the main dot-matrix display during the Program Scan; P1 is the fastest speed and P9 is the slowest. u You cannot change the Program Scan speed in FM mode. u You cannot change the scan speed on the sub-receiver. u You cannot specify the Program Scan slow down frequency point for FM mode. SCAN HOLD This function stops Program Scan for approximately 5 seconds, then resumes Scan when you jump to the desired frequency by turning the Tuning control or the MULTI/ CH control, or by pressing Mic [UP]/
[DWN]. To use this function, access Menu No. 09, and select ON. The default is OFF. MHz SCAN When you operate the main transceiver or sub-
receiver in VFO mode, you can scan an entire 1 MHz frequency range within the current VFO frequency. 1 Press [VFO/ M] to select VFO mode. 2 Select the desired frequency to perform the MHz Scan. If you want to scan the entire 145 MHz frequency, for example, select 145.650 MHz. Scan will operate between 145.00000 MHz and 145.99999 MHz. 3 Press and hold [1MHz/ SEL] to start the MHz Scan. 4 Turn the RIT/ SUB control to adjust the scan speed. 5 To stop the MHz Scan, press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] or 68
[CLR]. Note:
u You cannot change the MHz Scan speed in FM mode. u You cannot change the scan speed on the sub-receiver. MEMORY SCAN Memory Scan monitors all memory channels in which you have stored frequencies (All-channel Scan) or only a desired group of memory channels (Group Scan). Scan automatically stops at a channel where a signal is present, regardless of the operating mode. The transceiver will either remain on that channel for a short time (Time-operated mode) or until the signal drops out (Carrier-operated mode). Use Menu No. 10 to select either mode. The default is Time-operated. SCAN RESUME METHOD The transceiver stops scanning at the frequency (or memory channel) where a signal is detected. It then continues scanning according to which resume mode you have selected. You can choose one of the following modes. The default is Time-operated mode. Time-Operated mode The transceiver remains on a busy frequency (or memory channel) for approximately 6 seconds, then continues to scan, even if the signal is still present. Carrier-Operated mode The transceiver remains on the busy frequency (or memory channel) until the signal drops out. There is a 2 second delay between signal drop-out and scan resumption. 1 Press [MENU] to enter Menu mode. 2 Turn the MULTI/ CH control to select Menu No. 10. 3 Press [+]/ [] to select TO (Time-Operated) or CO
(Carrier-Operated). 4 Press [MENU] to complete the setting and exit Menu mode. You can lock out the memory channels that you prefer not to monitor while scanning. To do this, refer to Memory Channel Lockout {page 62}. ALL-CHANNEL SCAN Use the following procedure to scan all the memory channels that contain frequency data in sequence, ignoring the Memory Group number. 1 Select Time-operated or Carrier-operated mode via Menu No. 10. 2 Press [VFO/ M] to enter Memory Recall mode. 3 Turn the MAIN SQL or SUB SQL control to adjust the squelch threshold. 4 Press [FUNC], [SCAN/ SG.SEL] to enter Scan Group Select mode.

11 SCAN 71 OPERATOR CONVENIENCES ALT (Auto Lock Tuning) The ALT (Auto Lock Tuning) allows the transceiver to adjust the center receiving frequency automatically when you operate on the 1.2 GHz band in FM mode. When the receiving audio signal is distorted or breaking up, turn this function on to adjust the center receiving frequency. Some old 1.2 GHz transceivers do not have stable and precise oscilating circuits and tend to be slightly off (drifted from) the displayed frequency. Press [FUNC], [XIT/ ALT] to toggle the ALT function ON or OFF. Note: The ALT (Auto Lock Tuning) works only on the 1.2 GHz band in FM mode. ALT appears when the function is ON. ANTENNAS HF/ 50 MHz Band n SWITCHING ANT 1/ ANT 2 Two antenna connectors are available for the HF/
50 MHz band on the rear panel. When you operate the main transceiver on these frequencies, you can select one of 2 antennas. Press [FUNC], [AT/ ANT 1/2] to select ANT 1 or ANT 2 for the main transceiver. ANT 1 or ANT 2 appears to indicate which antenna is selected. The ANT 1/ANT 2 setting will automatically be stored in the antenna band memory. Next time you select the same band, the same antenna will be automatically selected.

Note: The same antenna is shared and used when the main transceiver and sub-receiver are on the same band. The frequency coverage varies depending on the market codes. 72 APO (Auto Power OFF) You can set the TS-2000 to switch OFF automatically if no keys or controls are pressed or adjusted for a certain period of time. 1 minute before the transceiver switches OFF, CHECK is output in morse code. You can select the time from OFF, 60, 120, and 180 minutes. Press [MENU], then turn the MULTI/ CH control to access Menu No. 57. Select the APO time from OFF, 60, 120, or 180 minutes. Note:
u The APO function works during the Scan. u The APO timer starts counting down the timer when no key presses, no control adjusments, and no command (RS-232C port) sequences are detected. AUTOMATIC ANTENNA TUNER As explained in ANTENNA CONNECTION {page 1}, matching the impedance of the coaxial cable and antenna is important. To adjust the impedance between the antenna and the transceiver, you have the choice of using the internal tuner or an external tuner. This section describes how to use the internal tuner. For the external tuner, consult the instruction manual that comes with the tuner. 1 Select the transmit frequency. 2 Press [FUNC], [AT/ ANT1/2] to select ANT 1 or ANT 2. If an external tuner is connected to the ANT 1 connector, select ANT 2 to use the internal antenna tuner. The internal antenna tuner is automatically bypassed if an external antenna tuner is connected to ANT 1. 3 Press [AT/ ANT1/2] momentarily. AT TX appears, indicating that the internal tuner is in-line (not bypassed). 4 Press [AT/ ANT1/2] for more than one second. CW mode is automatically selected and tuning begins. AT blinks and the MAIN band LED lights red. To cancel tuning, press [AT/ ANT1/2] again. If the SWR of the antenna system is extremely high (more than 10:1), an alarm (SWR in morse code) sounds and the internal tuner is bypassed. Before attempting to tune again, adjust the antenna system to lower the SWR. 5 See the display and check that tuning has successfully finished. If the tuning was successful, AT stops blinking and the MAIN band LED turns off. If tuning does not finish within approximately 20 seconds, an alarm (5 in morse code) sounds. Press [AT/ ANT1/2] to stop the alarm and tuning. If you access Menu No. 27 and select ON, received signals will also pass through the internal tuner. When this function is ON, RX AT appears. This may reduce interference on the receive frequency. Note:
u The internal tuner will not tune outside the authorized transmit limits of Amateur bands. u Pressing [AT/ ANT1/2] for more than one second while transmitting, interrupts transmitting and starts tuning. u If you would like to use a seperate receiving antenna, access Menu No. 18 and switch it ON. When this function is ON, received signals bypass the internal antenna tuner. u While using CW Full Break-in, the internal tuner will be in-line for both transmitting and receiving. u Tuning automatically turns OFF in approximately 60 seconds. AT disappears and the error beeps stop. u Tuning may still continue when the SWR meter indicates 1:1. This happens due to the tuning algorithm; this is not a malfunction. u Even though the SWR meter shows more than one segment, the internal tuner may not retune. This happens because of an SWR calculation algorithm tolerance between 10 W
(approx.) transmit power for tuning and 100 W transmit power. u If tuning does not finish even though the SWR meter indicates smaller than 3:1, adjust the antenna system to lower the SWR, then attempt to tune again. u Tuning may not reach an SWR of 1:1, depending on the transceiver conditions. n PRESETTING After each successful tuning session, the AT Preset memory function stores the position of the tuning capacitor in the memory. The position of the capacitor is stored for each of the antenna tuner band (see the following table) and for each antenna connector (ANT 1 and ANT 2). Press [AT/ ANT1/2] momentarily. AT TX will appear, showing that the internal tuner is in-line (not bypassed). Each time you go across the antenna tuner band, the AT Preset memory is automatically recalled to position the tuning capacitor without the need for retuning. If no preset data exists for a particular band/antenna combination, then the default data of 50 W is used. Note: Tuning may restart in order to obtain the optimum matching condition even though the current antenna tuner band has the preset data. 12 OPERATOR CONVENIENCES

This function helps you to not open the squelch when receiving weak signals that you do not want to hear. 1 Press [MENU], then turn the MULTI/ CH control to access Menu No. 19A. 2 Press [+] to select ON. 3 Turn the MAIN SQL control and/or the SUB SQL control to adjust the S-meter Squelch threshold level. When you turn SQL control, the indicators on the S-meter move accordingly. 4 Press [MENU] to store the settings and exit the Menu mode. Note: The squelch threshold level of the S-meter squelch (both MAIN and SUB SQL) is around the 9 oclock position for FM (both MAIN and SUB SQL) , the 11 oclock position for other modes
(MAIN SQL), and the 9 oclock position for AM (SUB SQL), regardless of the SQL controls position. Squelch Hang Time You can adjust the squelch hang time to continuously monitor unstable signals. When the signal is temporarily weaker than the S-meter Squelch threshold level, the squelch does not mute the signal for a short period of time. In this way, you can continuously monitor the unstable signal. 1 Press [MENU], then turn the MULTI/ CH control to access Menu No. 19B. 2 Press [+] or [] to select OFF, 125 ms, 250 ms, or 500 ms. 3 Press [MENU] to store the settings and exit the Menu mode. 12 OPERATOR CONVENIENCES RX DSP EQUALIZER n EQUALIZING RECEIVING AUDIO (SSB/FM/AM) Use Menu No. 20 to change the receiver frequency responses of the target signal. You can select one from six different receiver profiles including the default flat response. Selecting any of the following items from the Menu causes EQ R to appear on the display. Off:
The default frequency response for SSB, FM, and AM. High boost:
Emphasizes higher audio frequencies; effective for a bassy voice. Formant pass:
Improves clarity by suppressing audio frequencies outside the normal voice frequency range. Bass boost:
Emphasizes lower audio frequencies; effective for a voice with more high frequency components. Conventional:
Emphasizes by 3 dB frequencies at 600 Hz and higher. User:
Reserved for future use. Off is programmed at the factory as a default. SEPERATE SPEAKER OUTPUT The TS-2000 has 2 independent receivers and is capable of receving 2 different frequencies at the same time. If no external speaker is connected to the TS-2000, both audio signals are mixed internally, then output through the internal speaker. If you are using at least one external speaker, you can configure the transceiver to make a seperate output for each receiver. 1 Connect the external speaker to the EXT.SP2 jack on the rear panel {page 2}. 2 Press [MENU], then turn the MULTI/ CH control to access Menu No. 16. 3 Press [+] or [] to select 1. 4 Press [MENU] to store the setting and exit Menu mode. The signals from the main transceiver are now output from the external speaker and the signals from the sub-receiver are output from the internal speaker. If you want the transceiver to mix 1/4 of each output to the other output, select 1 in step 2. Depending on the external speaker location, this setting may be comfortable to lisen to both signals. Note: Connecting an external speaker to the EXT.SP1 jack simply replaces the internal speaker output with EXT.SP1. 78 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 turn the MULTI/ CH control to access Menu No. 24. 2 Press [+] or [] to select OFF, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, or 30 minutes. 3 Press [MENU] to store the settings and exit the Menu mode. TNC This transceiver has a built-in TNC that is usually used for the Packet Cluster Tune {page 53} or SkyCommand II+ operations {page XX}. However, you can also utilize the built-in TNC as a high speed
(9600 bps) or normal (1200 bps) TNC that is controlled by a external PC or dumb terminal
{page 49}. If you desire, you can connect an external TNC or proprietary TNC to ACC2 connector. To interface an external TNC with TS-2000(X), refer to the ACC2 connector information {page XX} and accessing Menu No. 50B ~ 50F then configure and adjust the Menu parameters to work with the external TNC. Note: You do not have to disable the built-in TNC to interface with an external TNC. Both the main transceiver and sub-receiver can work independently unless the transceiver is transmitting on the same band. TRANSVERTER If you have a transverter that converts the TS-2000 operating frequencies to other frequencies, you can use this TS-2000 transceiver as a transverter exciter. Consult the instruction manual that came with the transverter for interfacing to the TS-2000. 1 Connect the transverter to the ANT 1, ANT 2, ANT 144, ANT 430, or ANT 1.2G (optional) connector on the rear of the transceiver. 2 Select the exciter operating frequency on the main transceiver of the TS-2000. The transverter will use this frequency as the reference for converting frequencies. 3 Access Menu No. 25, and select ON by pressing
[+]. The output power is automatically set to the lowest power for that frequency. 4 Press [MENU] to store the setting and exit the Menu mode. 5 Press [ENT], then set the target converting frequency, using the numeric keys. 6 Press [ENT] to complete the entry. 7 The transceiver displays the target transverter frequency instead of the actual operating frequency. 12 OPERATOR CONVENIENCES Note:
u When using a transverter, not all the functions of this transceiver are available. u When using the optional VS-3 unit, the selected frequencies are not announced. TX MONITOR TX monitor allows you to monitor the on-going transmission sound. This is convenient when you want to check the modulation sound quality of the transmission. In FSK mode, you can monitor the FSK signal that the TS-2000 is transmitting. 1 Press [FUNC], [PWR/ TX MONI]. 2 Current TX monitor setting appears. 3 Turn the MULTI/ CH control to select the monitor sound level from OFF, and 1 to 9. 4 Press [CLR] to store the selected TX monitor level. Note:
u We recommend you use headphones when you monitor SSB, AM, or FM mode, in order to avoid the haulings. u The CW transmission signal cannot be monitored using the TX monitor function. Use the CW sidetone function to monitor CW transmissions (Menu No. 13 and 31). 79 n Transferring Data The TS-2000(X) transceiver works as the Master, sending data to the Slave transceiver. 1 Switch ON the Transfer function of each transceiver. On the TS-2000(X), access Menu No. 52 and select ON. For the compatible transceiver, refer to the instruction manual that came with the transceiver. 2 On the Master, while in VFO mode, select an operating frequency and mode. 3 On the Master, press QUICK MEMO [M.IN]. When using another TS-2000(X) as the Slave, CTRL appears on the Slave. The displayed data is stored in Quick memory channel 1 on the Master and transferred to the Slave. Note: If the Master has RIT switched ON, the offset frequency is added to the receive frequency to be transferred. n Receiving Data The TS-2000(X) transceiver works as the Slave, receiving data from the Master transceiver. The Slave can receive data using either Quick memory channel 1 or the VFO. 1 Switch ON the Transfer function of each transceiver. On the TS-2000(X), access Menu No. 52 and select ON. For the compatible transceiver, refer to the instruction manual that came with the transceiver. 2 On the Slave, access Menu No. 53 and select either OFF (QUICK MEMO channel 1) or ON
(the VFO). The default is OFF (QUICK MEMO). 3 On the Master, perform the appropriate operation to send data. For the correct method, refer to the instruction manual that came with the transceiver. Note:
u If you always use the TS-2000 (X) for receiving only, activate TX Inhibit function, accessing Menu No. 54 to avoid unintentional transmission. u When the Slave receives data using the VFO programmed with a simplex frequency, the received data replaces the data on both VFOs. On the Slave, both RIT and XIT are set to OFF. u When the Slave receives data using the VFOs programmed with split frequencies, the received data replaces the data only on the TX side of the VFO. On the Slave, XIT is set to OFF but RIT is not changed. 12 OPERATOR CONVENIENCES QUICK DATA TRANSFER This transceiver has the capability to quickly and conveniently transfer the receive frequency and mode to another compatible transceiver. Compatible transceivers include:
TS-2000(X) TS-850S TS-690S TS-450S Data Transfer could be useful while contesting. A spotting station that is searching for new contest multipliers can quickly transfer a frequency over to the running (main) station. TS-570S/570D TS-870S TS-950SDX SETTING UP n Equipment Needed In addition to a compatible transceiver, the following equipment is required:
Transfer to TS-2000(X), TS-570, or TS-870S:
One cross-wired cable. This cable must have a 9-pin RS-232C female connector at both ends. Transfer to a transceiver other than TS-2000(X), TS-570, and TS-870S:

{page XX} for the necessary information. n Connections Connecting the transceiver to the computer is easy. See the diagram given in CONNECTING PERIPHERAL EQUIPMENT {page XX}. Note: Before connecting this transceiver to the computer, switch OFF the power to the transceiver and the computer. COMMUNICATION PARAMETERS In order to control the transceiver by computer, you must first choose the communication parameters. 1 On the computer, configure your transceiver control application for 8 data bits and no parity. 2 On the transceiver, select the appropriate transfer rate and number of stop bits via Menu No. 56. The defaults are 9600 bps and 1 stop bit. Note: To reliably use the 38400 or 57600 bps transfer rates, the RS-232C port of the computer must support these high-speed communications parameters. 12 OPERATOR CONVENIENCES REPEATER FUNCTION
(K-type ONLY) This transceiver is capable of receiving signals on one band and retransmitting them on another band. For example, a signal received on the sub-receiver is retransmitted on the main transceiver. Similarly, a signal received on the main transceiver can be retransmitted on the sub-receivers frequency. You can use any available frequency on the main transceiver or sub-receiver to receive and transmit. However, you cannot retransmit the receiving signals outside the amateur radio bands. You also must use a different antenna for transmitting and receiving. For example, if you receive a VHF signal on the sub-
receiver, you can retransmit it using UHF on the main transceiver. You cannot retransmit the signal using VHF of the main transceiver. Note: For the repeater function to operate, the squelch levels of the main transceiver and sub-receiver must be adjusted so that no background noise can be heard. LOCKED-BAND REPEATER The transceiver always uses the same band to receive, and retransmits the received signals on the other band. 1 Select a desired receive frequency on the sub-
receiver. 2 Press [MAIN] and select a desired transmit frequency on the main transceiver. 3 Adjust the squelch threshold level so that both receivers mute. 4 Press [MENU], then turn the MULTI/ CH control to access Menu No. 61A. 5 Select LOCKED, using [+]. LOCK A appears. Note: You can also reverse the receive and transmit bands, so that you receive on the main transceiver and transmit on the sub-
receivers frequency. CROSS-BAND REPEATER The cross-band repeater is unlike the lock-band repeater in that both bands can be used to receive signals. When a signal is received on one band, it is retransmitted on the other band. To activate the cross-band repeater, select CROSS in Menu No. 61A in step 5. Note:
u The Repeater function has its own Time-out TImer which is set at 3 minutes. This value cannot be changed. u After activating the Repeater function, you cannot access Menu Nos. other than 61A and 61B. HANG TIME FOR REPEATER FUNCTION If necessary, you can cause this transceiver to remain in the transmit mode for 500 ms after signals drop. Access Menu No. 61B (Repeater TX Hold) and select ON. 81 When in Remote Control mode, the DTMF keys of the control transceiver will function as shown in the table below. Each time you press the desired key, the transceiver will automatically enter transmit mode and send the corresponding command to the mobile. Note: If using a transceiver without a remote control function, manually send AXXX#YA# where XXX is your 3-digit secret number and Y is a single-digit control command. If you do not add A# to the end, you can skip sending AXXX# next time; however, the mobile may be accidentally controlled by other stations. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 NOSCD NOENOT NOSSCTC FFOSCD FFOENOT FFOSSCTC LLAC OFV 9 0 A B C D

Transmit Secret Number Change Partial/ Full Reset Answer Back ON/ OFF 12 OPERATOR CONVENIENCES WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL
(K-type ONLY) If you have a Kenwood TH-D7A handheld transceiver, you can use it to remotely control the 144 MHz and 430 (440) MHz bands of the TS-2000 transceiver, using FM mode. You will be controlling one band on the TS-2000 transceiver while sending DTMF tones to the other band from the remote control transceiver. This function is useful, for example, when you want to control the VHF/ UHF FM repeater function of the TS-2000 transceiver from a location outside your home or vehicle. Note:
u To remotely control the TS-2000, you can also use a handheld transceiver which does not have a remote control function, but a DTMF function. You must, however, manually send DTMF tones for control code strings. Skip steps 1 and 3 in PREPARATION, below. u FCC rules permit you to send control codes only on the 430
(440) MHz band. PREPARATION Assuming that the 144 MHz band of the TS-2000 transceiver will be controlled. On the control transceiver:
1 Program a 3-digit secret number. If you are using a TH-D7A, see WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL in its instruction manual. 2 Select the transmit frequency on the 430
(440) MHz band. 3 Enter the Remote Control mode. On the TS-2000 transceiver:
4 Access Menu 61C, and select the same secret number as you selected in step 1. 5 Select the receive frequency on the 430
(440) MHz band of the sub-receiver. Mate this frequency with the transmit frequency on the control transceiver. 6 Select the 144 MHz band as the TX band or Control band for the main transceiver. 7 To have the TS-2000 transceiver send a control acknowledgment to the handheld, access Menu 61D and select ON. DTMF tones which represent the secret number will be used as an acknowledgment. 8 Access Menu 61E and select ON. LOCK A appears when the TS-2000 enters Remote Control mode. CONTROL OPERATION 82 SKY COMMAND II +
(K-type ONLY) The Sky Command II+ allows you to remotely control the TS-2000(X) transceiver from a seperate location. Since the TS-2000(X) transceiver has an independent VHF and UHF sub-receiver in addition to the main transceiver, the sub-receiver can work as a Transporter without requiring another VHF/UHF transceiver. So, if you already have Kenwoods TH-D7A handheld or TM-D700A mobile transceiver, you can immediately start enjoying Sky Command II+ features to remotely control the HF/ 50 MHz band of your TS-2000(X). Or, if you have a friend who has another TS-2000(X), you can also use his/ her TS-2000(X) as a Commander (a remote unit) to control the HF/ 50 MHz band of your TS-2000(X) at home, using VHF and UHF bands. You will use one transceiver as a remote control unit, called a Commander. The VHF/ UHF sub-receiver in the TS-2000(X) transceiver is called the Transporter. It will function as an interface between the Commander and the HF/ 50 MHz band of the TS-2000(X) main transceiver. This system allows you, for example, to watch for and hunt DX while washing your car, or to operate the HF transceiver while relaxing in your car, living room, or patio, instead of actually operating inside your shack.
