PRECAUTIONS
Please observe the following precautions to prevent
fire, personal injury, and transceiver damage:
•
•
Locate the transceiver away from heat sources
such as a radiator, stove, amplifier or other
devices that produce substantial amounts of heat.
•
Connect the transceiver only to a power source
described in this manual or as marked on the
transceiver itself.
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.
•
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.
•
•
Disconnect the input power cable from the power
source when the transceiver is not used for long
periods of time.
Remove the transceiver’s 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.
•
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.
•
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.
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.
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.

•
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.

Communications Processor
ANTENNA CONNECTION
GROUND 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 Ω
antenna of good quality, a high-quality 50 Ω coaxial
cable, and first-quality connectors. All connections
must be clean and tight.
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.
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 transceiver’s power.
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.
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
(144 MHz), UHF (430/440 MHz), and 1.2 GHz
(TS-2000/ TS-B2000 Optional) antennas to their
respective antenna connectors on the rear of the
transceiver. Refer to page 13 for the location of the
antenna connectors.
◆
◆
Transmitting without connecting an antenna or other
matched load may damage the transceiver. Always
connect the antenna to the transceiver before transmitting.
All fixed stations should be equipped with a lightning
arrester to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and
transceiver damage.
Note: The transceiver’s 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.

1 INSTALLATION
DC POWER SUPPLY CONNECTION
REPLACING FUSES
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.
If a 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.

and the black lead to the negative terminal. Next,
connect the DC power cable to the transceiver’s DC
power connector. Press the connectors firmly
together until the locking tab clicks.
Note:
◆
Before connecting the DC power supply to the transceiver, be
sure to switch OFF the DC power supply and transceiver.
◆
Do not plug the DC power supply into an AC outlet until you
make all connections.
UTILIZING THE BAIL (TS-2000(X) ONLY)
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

■ External Speakers (EXT.SP1/ EXT.SP2)
This transceiver has 2 independent receivers.
Thus, it can output 2 separate audio signals. As a
default, the transceiver 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 8Ω (8Ω
nominal). These jacks accept only 3.5 mm (1/8")
diameter, 2-conductor (mono) plugs.

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
+
GND dash dot
GND
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.
• Straight key
• Bug key
• Electronic keyer
• Paddle
• MCP CW output
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.
Read the “ELECTRONIC KEYER” section {page 42} to become
familiar with the internal keyer.

see “SELECTING YOUR FREQUENCY” {page 37}.
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.
FRONT PANEL METER
The multi-function meter measures the parameters in
the table below. The S-meter and FILTER scales
appear when the main transceiver is in receive mode,
and the PWR meter appears when it is in transmit
mode. Each press of [5/ METER] switches among
the ALC, SWR, and COMP meters. Peak readings
for the S-meter, ALC, SWR, COMP, and PWR
functions are held momentarily.
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 o’clock for FM and
11 o’clock for SSB and AM.

SELECTING TRANSMIT POWER
It is wise to select a lower transmit power if
communication is still reliable. This lowers the risk of
interfering with others on the band. When operating
from battery power, selecting a lower transmit power
allows you more operating time before a charge is
necessary. This transceiver allows you to change the
transmit power even while transmitting.
AM: While speaking into the microphone, adjust
the MULTI/ CH control so that the calibrated
power meter slightly reflects your voice level.
CW, FSK: While transmitting, adjust the
MULTI/ CH control so that the ALC meter reflects
the carrier level within the ALC zone.

MENU SETUP
WHAT IS A MENU?
QUICK MENU
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.
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

transceiver, therefore, allows you to switch between
two different environments quickly and easily. For
example, you can configure Menu A for DXing and
contesting while Menu B is for the relaxed local
ragchewing. By switching from Menu A to Menu B,
you can instantly change the Menu configuration and
key assignment to suit your current operating style.

BASIC COMMUNICATIONS
SSB TRANSMISSION
FM 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.
FM is a common mode for communicating on VHF or
UHF frequencies. 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 [LSB/ USB/ AUTO] to select either lower or
upper sideband mode.
•
“LSB” or “USB” appears to show which
sideband is selected.
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.

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.
4 Press [SEND], or press and hold Mic [PTT].
•
Speaking too close to the microphone or too
loudly may increase distortion and reduce
intelligibility at the receiving end.
•
•
The MAIN band LED lights red.
Refer to “VOX” {page 39} for information on
automatic TX/RX switching.
•
You can switch the Microphone Gain for FM
between “LOW”, “MID”, 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 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.
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.
•
You may want to use the Speech Processor.
Refer to “SPEECH PROCESSOR” {page 40}

AM TRANSMISSION
NARROW BANDWIDTH FOR FM
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 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.
When looking for others operating on AM, check the
following frequencies first:
Mode
FM
RX IF Filter
TX Deviation
Wide
3885 kHz, 7290 kHz, 14286 kHz, 21390 kHz, and
29000 ~ 29200 kHz

7 BASIC COMMUNICATIONS
AUTO ZERO-BEAT
CW TRANSMISSION
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.
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.
1 Press [FUNC], [RIT/ CW TUNE] to start Auto
Zero-beat.
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}.

5 Press [SEND] to return to receive mode.
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.

ENHANCED COMMUNICATIONS
TF-SET (TRANSMIT FREQUENCY SET)
SPLIT-FREQUENCY OPERATION
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.
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 32}. Another typical case is
when you call a rare DX station.
1 Configure split-frequency operation as explained
in the previous section.
2 Press and hold [TF-SET].
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)”.
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.
•
1 Press [MAIN], [A/B] to select VFO A or VFO B on
the main transceiver.
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 aren’t 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.
•
“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.
Note:
•
The frequency selected on this VFO will be
used for receiving.
◆
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.

“ON”. Pressing Mic [UP]/ [DWN] after recalling a memory
channel changes the memory channels.
An RIT frequency shift is not added; however, an XIT frequency
shift is added to the transmit frequency.

FEATURES”.
Note: You cannot perform SPLIT operation on the sub-receiver; it
has only one VFO.

8 ENHANCED COMMUNICATIONS
■ Selecting an Offset Direction
FM REPEATER OPERATION
1 Select a receive frequency.
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.
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.
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.
•
To program the –7.6 MHz (430 MHz) or
–6.0 MHz (1.2 GHz) offset on all E-types,
repeatedly press [0/ SHIFT/OFFSET] until
“=” appears.
This transceiver provides the following three methods
for programming two separate frequencies:
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:
•
•
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}
•
Move the receive frequency further inside the
band.
Note:
◆
When programming two separate frequencies using two VFOs,
be sure to select FM mode on both VFOs.
•
Change the offset direction.
◆
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.
Note:
◆
◆
You can only change the offset direction while in FM mode.
While using an odd-split memory channel for transmitting,
you cannot change the offset direction.

receiver). The nearest available frequency is
automatically selected after the entered frequency is
changed (Main transceiver).
Within the AM broadcast band, the step size
automatically defaults to the frequency step
value in Menu No. 05. This step size can be
switched between 9 kHz (all E-types: ON) and
5 kHz (K-type: OFF) via Menu No. 05.

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.
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.
1 Select USB, LSB, FM, or AM mode.
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.

SPEECH PROCESSOR
XIT (TRANSMIT INCREMENTAL TUNING)
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.
Similar to RIT, XIT provides the ability to change your

CHANGING KEYING SPEED
CW BREAK-IN
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.
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

■ Changing the Sidetone Volume
Note: You must switch the CW break-in function ON to change the
mode and transmit in CW mode {page 42}.
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 select OFF, or 1 to 9.
■ 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

sub-receiver. When you press [SEND] or the
microphone PTT switch, the transceiver transmits on
the SUB band frequency.
Since the TS-2000 also has a built-in TNC, you can
assign the sub-receiver to monitor the local DX
Packet Cluster 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}.

ATTENUATOR
TRANSMITTING
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 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.
First, confirm that the “
” 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].
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.
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.
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.
2 Turn the MULTI/ CH control counterclockwise to
reduce the power or clockwise to increase the
power.
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.
Note:
◆
The selectable range varies depending on the band and mode
{page 79}.
◆
Output power configuration is also reflected in the main
transceiver.
SCAN
MICROPHONE GAIN
All types of scanning are also available for the sub-
receiver. However, the operating frequency range is
limited to the sub-receiver’s frequency coverage.
Refer to “SCAN” {page 66} for details on how to
operate the scan function.
Access Menu No. 41 and select “LOW”, “MID”, or
“HIGH” for the microphone gain.
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 “MID” or “LOW”.
NOISE REDUCTION
FM REPEATER OPERATION
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
signals. Refer to “REJECTING INTERFERENCE”
{page 56} for details on how to control and adjust the
function.
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

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

Refer to “TRANSMITTING A TONE” {page 33} for
function and control details.
MEMORY
You can also utilize all the memory functions {page 58},
including the Quick Memory function {page 64}, while
you are operating the sub-receiver. However, the
operating frequency range is limited to the sub-
receiver’s frequency coverage. You cannot recall any
memory channels that are outside the sub-receiver’s
frequency coverage. These channels are automatically
skipped when they are recalled on the sub-receiver.

SPECIALIZED COMMUNICATIONS
Note:
PACKET RADIO
◆
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.
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.
◆
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. You’ll be glad you did.
BUILT-IN TNC
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.
This transceiver has a built-in TNC which conforms to
the AX.25 protocol. Since the built-in TNC has been
designed to work with the Packet Cluster Tune
{page 53} and Sky Commander II+ {page 83}
functions, some of the enhanced TNC commands
may not be available. For the commands supported
by the built-in TNC, consult “BUILT-IN TNC
COMMAND LIST” starting on page 110. The AX-25
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.
PBBS
In order to activate the built-in TNC, access Menu
No. 55 and select ON. The default is OFF. “PKT”
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 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.
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.
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
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.
appropriate region code (preceded by a #), state,
country, and continent abbreviations, as above.
Note: The built-in TNC automatically reinitiates when a malfunction
is detected; this does not designate that the transceiver is defective.
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

SLOW SCAN TV/ FACSIMILE
Besides Packet and RTTY, digital modes which have
been used among hams include AMTOR, PacTOR,
CLOVER, G-TOR, and PSK31. This manual does not
describe much about these modes. For details,
consult reference books about Amateur Radio.
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 recipient’s
scan converter transforms audio signals back into
video images so that he or she can view them on a
TV set.
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.
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.
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.

PSK31 signal requires a tuning accuracy of a few
Hertz. A special feature of PSK31 is that it allows the
entire ASCII character set, including the back space
character.

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.
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 95}.
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.
Popular fax frequencies include the following:
•
7245, 14245, 21345 (International Net), and
28945 kHz
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.
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 using SSB mode for digital operation, use a fast AGC
setting and switch your Speech Processor OFF.
Note: When operating either SSTV or fax, use a fast AGC setting
and switch OFF your Speech Processor, for best results.

DX PACKET CLUSTER TUNE
SATELLITE OPERATION
DX Packet Cluster 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.
Amateur satellites receive on one band and transmit
on another. This transceiver can handle uplink/
downlink frequency combinations simultaneously as
shown below.

Some satellites require a rotator that allows azimuth
and elevation control, plus a high-gain directional
antenna. The antenna must track the satellite which
travels from horizon to horizon. Even so, 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.
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.

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.

NOTCH FILTER (SSB)
MANUAL BEAT CANCEL (CW/ SSB/ AM)
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.
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. 300Hz to 3000 Hz by turning
the control. Turn the control clockwise to select a
higher frequency and counterclockwise to select a
lower frequency.
Since the DSP Beat Cancel processes the incoming
signals at the AF stage, strong beat signals may
control the AGC, then weaken the target signal level.
In this case, use the Auto Notch Filter instead, to
remove the beat signal from the IF passband filter.

Level 1 is the slowest beat tone tracking speed and
Level 4 is the fastest. FIX terminates the beat tone
tracking. Adjust this pamameter manually to remove
the beat signal if necessary.
■ Setting the N.R. 1 Level Adjustment
The Noise Reduction 1 (Line Enhanced Method)
uses an adaptive filter to reduce the noise element
from the received signals. When the S/N ratio is
reasonably good in SSB, using N.R.1 will improve
the S/N further.
AUTO BEAT CANCEL (SSB/ AM)
While N.R. 1 is ON, you can further adjust the noise
reduction level by pressing [FUNC], [N.R./ LEVEL],
then turn the MULTI/ CH control to select the level
from 1 to 10 or AUTO. The default is AUTO.
Auto 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.
■ 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.

13 MEMORY FEATURES
MEMORY GROUP
QUICK MEMORY
To manage 300 memory channels, you can divide
them up into a maximum of 10 groups (Groups 0 to 9).
After you configure a Memory Group, you can select
one or more of the Memory Groups you want to recall,
in Memory Recall mode. As a default, all memory
channels are stored in Group 0.
Quick memory is designed to quickly and temporarily
save data without specifying a particular memory
channel. Use Quick memory to store data you will
not use in future operating sessions. For example, as
you tune across the band looking for DX, it is
convenient to store stations that you want to contact.
You can quickly jump between several different
memory channels as you monitor them.
To change the Memory Channel Group:
1 Press [M.IN] to enter Memory Scroll mode.
This transceiver provides ten Quick memory channels
(“0_” to “9_”) that can store the following data:

SCAN
Scan is a useful function for hands-off monitoring of
your favorite frequencies. By becoming comfortable
with all types of Scan, you will increase your operating
efficiency.
•
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.
This transceiver provides the following types of scans.

While using CW Full Break-in, the internal tuner will be in-line for
both transmitting and receiving.
Tuning automatically turns OFF in approximately 60 seconds.
“AT” disappears and the error beeps stop.
ATTENUATOR
Tuning may still continue when the SWR meter indicates 1:1.
This happens due to the tuning algorithm; this is not a
malfunction.
The attenuator function is useful when extremely
strong signals exist nearby your receiving frequency.
When these type of signals exist nearby your
receiving frequency, the AGC function may be
erroneously controlled by the strong signals, rather
than by the target receiving signal. If this happens,
the target receiving signal can be masked and buried
by the strong signals. In this case, turn the
Attenuator function ON.
◆
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.
◆
◆
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.
Tuning may not reach an SWR of 1:1, depending on the
transceiver conditions.

CONTROL OPERATION
WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL
(K-type ONLY)
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.
If you have a Kenwood TH-D7A handheld transceiver,
you can use it to remotely control the 144 MHz and
440 MHz bands of the TS-2000(X) transceiver, using
FM mode. You will be controlling one band on the
TS-2000(X) 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(X) transceiver from a location outside your
home or vehicle.
Note: If you are 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#” on the end, you can skip sending “AXXX#” next time;
however, the mobile may be accidentally controlled by other stations.

SKY COMMAND II + (K-type ONLY)
Although you can use either a TM-D700A, a TH-D7A,
or another TS-2000(X) transceiver as a “Commander”
(an external remote control unit), the following
procedure shows how to set up your TS-2000 as a
“Transporter” at a base station and the TM-D700A as
a “Commander”.
The Sky Command II+ allows you to remotely control
the TS-2000(X) transceiver from a separate 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.
TS-2000 (Transporter) Setup:
So, if you already have Kenwood’s 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).
1 Press [MENU], then turn the MULTI/ CH control to
access Menu No. 62A.
2 Press [SUB] then enter your callsign (ex: WD6DJY)
as a “Commander” callsign, using [+]/[–] or the
MULTI/ CH control. To move the cursor, press
[MAIN] or [SUB]. Press [M.IN] to store the
callsign to Menu No. 62A.
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.
3 Press [MENU], then turn the MULTI/ CH control to
access Menu No. 62B.
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.
4 Press [SUB] then enter your alias callsign
(ex: WD6DJY-1) as a “Transporter” callsign, using
[+]/[–] or the MULTI/ CH control. To move the
cursor, press [MAIN] or [SUB]. Press [M.IN] to
store the callsign to Menu No. 62B.
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.
Note: You can use alpha-numeric characters, A to Z, 0 to 9 and
“-”. The callsign must be no more than 9 characters long,
including “-”. Also, the following callsign formats cannot be
entered:
•
WD6DJYZ
If you use only letters and numbers for the callsign, the
maximum length is 6 characters.
HF/ 50 MHz

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-receiver’s frequency.
Note:
◆
When the synconize operation is incomplete, the main display
of the Commander may disappear. In this case, press [SUB] to
re-syncronze.
◆
You cannot recall memory channels 100 to 299 using [ENT]
and the numeric keys. To recall memory channels 100 ~ 299,
use [+] or [–].
◆
◆
◆
You can recall only the memory channels that have HF/ 50 MHz
frequencies.
You can use any available frequency on the main
transceiver or sub-receiver to receive and transmit.
However, you cannot retransmit the received signals
that are outside the available transmission
frequencies. Additionally, you 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.
Do not use VHF/ UHF frequencies that are suffering from the
harmonics of HF/ 50 MHz transmissions.
The frequency control operations, such as the MAIN control and
RIT/ XIT control, are much slower than using direct controls,
because each control command (in steps of 10 Hz) is sent as
packet data.
◆
When you change the frequency continuously, using the MAIN
control or the MULTI/ CH control, the last entry of the
Commander frequency is reflected on the HF/ 50 MHz
transceiver.
◆

Since Sky Command II+ requires 2 VHF/ UHF frequencies,
check the operating frequencies carefully to avoid interference
with other parties.
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.
When the transceiver exits the Sky Command II+ operation, the
internal TNC retains the data transfer speed in Menu No. 47. If a
different data transfer speed is required for packet operation,
reconfigure it to the desired value.
LOCKED-BAND REPEATER
The transceiver always uses the same band to
receive, and retransmits the received signals on the
other band.
USING A SEPARATE TRANSPORTER
If you have more than 2 TH-D7A and/or TM-D700A
transceivers, you can use one of the transceivers as
a “Transporter”. This transceiver is connected to the
TS-2000(X) via the RS-232C port, EXT SP jack, and
Mic connector of the base station and the other
TH-D7A or TM-D700A transceiver works as a
“Commander”. With this configuration, you can turn

GENERAL INFORMATION
If you desire to correspond on a technical or
operational problem, please make your note short,
complete, and to the point. Help us help you by
providing the following:
Your transceiver has been factory aligned and tested
to specification before shipment. Under normal
circumstances, the transceiver will operate in
accordance with these operating instructions. All
adjustable trimmers, coils and resistors in the
transceiver were preset at the factory. They should
only be readjusted by a qualified technician who is
familiar with this transceiver and has the necessary
test equipment. Attempting service or alignment
without factory authorization can void the transceiver
warranty.

2 Question or problem you are having.
3 Other equipment in your station pertaining to the
problem.
4 Meter readings.
5 Other related information (Menu setup, mode,
frequency, key sequence to induce malfunction,
etc.).
When operated properly, the transceiver will provide
years of service and enjoyment without requiring
further realignment. The information in this section
gives some general service procedures requiring little
or no test equipment.
DO NOT PACK THE EQUIPMENT IN CRUSHED
NEWSPAPERS FOR SHIPMENT! EXTENSIVE DAMAGE MAY
RESULT DURING ROUGH HANDLING OR SHIPPING.

This transceiver uses an EEPROM to store memory
channel data, menu configurations and all necessary
operation parameters. So, you never have to worry
about replacing batteries to operate the transceiver.
communication regarding the problem.
However, the transceiver’s built-in TNC requires a
lithium battery (CR-2032) to store the TNC data.
Battery lifetime varies, but under normal operating
conditions, it should last for approximately 5 years. If
you find that the TNC no longer stores the TNC
parameters, contact an authorized KENWOOD
service center for replacing the lithium battery.

AGC
OPERATION NOTICES
When you turn the AGC function OFF {page 38}, the
receiving audio signals can be distorted. In this case,
decrease the RF GAIN, turn the pre-amplifier OFF, or
turn the attenuator ON. In general, the RF GAIN is
greatly reduced when the AGC is turned OFF.
The TS-2000(X)/ TS-B2000 has been designed and
engineered to avoid possible hardware glitches.
However, you may notice the following symptoms
when you operate the transceiver. These symptoms
are not malfunctions.
SUB-RECEIVER
TX SIGNAL HARMONICS
When you turn the sub-receiver ON or OFF, a
popping noise may be monitored from the speaker.
The TS-2000(X)/ TS-B2000 has 2 independent
receivers. Thus, it can receive signals while you are
transmitting. Because of this, the harmonics or the
mixed heterodyne signal images of your transmission
signal can be monitored through the receiver. Even if
the TX Monitor function {page 79} is OFF, the
transmission signal may be monitored through the
speaker.
INTERNAL BEATS
On some spots of the transceiver bands, the S-meter
moves or you cannot receive any signals. This is
inevitable when you use superheterodyne receivers.
You may notice the signals on the following spots of
the bands.
On the main transceiver:
51.259 MHz, 430.151 MHz, 432.209 MHz,
436.799 MHz, 439.298 MHz, 442.440 MHz
(K-type only), 1247.999 MHz, and 1269.387 MHz.
When the sub-receiver frequency is 144.000 MHz:
146.663 MHz (K-type only) and 436.249 MHz.
When the sub-receiver frequency is 440.000 MHz:
437.333 MHz and 444.315 MHz (K-type only).
Note: When the sub-receiver frequency changes, the above beat
frequencies may be changed accordingly. In this case, turn the
sub-receiver OFF to remove the internal spurious signals.
On the sub-receiver:
144.490 MHz, 144.945 MHz, 430.150 MHz,
436.210 MHz, 436.800 MHz, 442.020 MHz
(K-type only), 449.400 MHz (K-type only) and
429.050 MHz (K-type only).
VISUAL SCAN
When you have the same VHF band or UHF band
for both the main transceiver and the sub-receiver,
the Visual scan may indicate the signals on the
bar-graph display even if no signal is monitored on
the main transceiver. This error occurs due to the
internal spurious harmonics that are generated by
the sub-receiver. Refer to “INTERNAL BEATS”,
above, for the frequencies.
SENSITIVITY (K-type only)
While the main transceiver is receiving on the VHF band
(142 ~ 152 MHz), the sensitivity of the main transceiver
slightly degrades when you select 118 ~ 136 MHz or
155 ~ 300 MHz for the sub-receiver.

If you are using a PC with a communication program to control this built-in TNC, prepare the RS-232C cable (straight) for connecting to the COM
teminal on the transceiver. Then, set the same communication speed by accessing Menu No. 56. Select the same communication speed and the
communications parameters. They must be set 8-bit, 1-stop bit, Non-parity, except for 4800 bps. The 4800 bps is also used for the Quick Data
Transfer function {page 80} and the communication parameters are fixed as 8-bit, 2-stop bit, Non-parity format.

21 APPENDIX
CONTROL OPERATION
COM CONNECTOR
Most computers handle data in the form of “bits” and
“bytes”. A bit is the smallest piece of information that
a computer can handle. A byte is composed of eight
bits. This is the most convenient form for most
computer data. This data may be sent in the form of
either serial or parallel data strings. The parallel
method is faster but more complicated, while the
serial method is slower and requires less complicated
equipment. The serial form is, therefore, a less
expensive alternative.
HARDWARE DESCRIPTION
This transceiver uses a full-duplex, asynchronous,
serial interface for communicating through the male
9-PIN RS-232C COM connector. Each data is
constructed with 1 start bit, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit
(4800 bps must be configured as 2 stop bits). No
parity is used. The pinout and the pin functions of the
COM connector are shown below:
COM
Serial data transmission uses time-division methods
over a single line. Using a single line also offers the
advantage of reducing the number of errors due to
line noise.

From a practical standpoint, it is also necessary to
incorporate some means of controlling when this data
transfer will occur. The computer and transceiver
cannot be allowed to send data at the same time!
The required control is achieved by using the RTS
and CTS lines.

For example, the transceiver is placed into the
transmit mode whenever the character string “TX;” is
sent from the computer. The character string “TX;” is
called a computer control command. It tells the
transceiver what to do. There are numerous
commands available for control of the transceiver.
These commands may be incorporated into a
computer program written in any high level language.
Programming methods vary from computer to
computer; therefore, refer to the instruction manuals
provided with the terminal program and computer.

RXD: Transmit data is serial data transferred from
the transceiver to the computer.
TXD: Receive data is serial data transferred from
the computer to the transceiver.
GND: Signal ground pin
RTS: This signal is applied to the transceiver. It is
used to inhibit transmit data from the transceiver
when the computer is not ready to receive data.
Transmit data is inhibited when the level is low.
CTS: This signal is applied from the transceiver. It
is used to inhibit transmit data from the computer
when the transceiver is not ready to receive data.
Transmit data is stopped when the level is low.

■ Parameters
COMPUTER CONTROL COMMANDS
Parameters are used to specify information
necessary to implement the desired command.
The parameters to be used for each command are
predetermined. The number of digits assigned to
each parameter is also predetermined. Refer to
the Parameter Table {page 73} and the Computer
Control Command Tables {page 75} to configure
the appropriate parameters.
A computer control command is composed of an
alphabetical command, various parameters, and the
terminator that signals the end of the control
command.
EXAMPLE: Command to set VFO A to 7 MHz
FA
00007000000
Parameters
;
When configuring parameters, be careful not to
make the following mistakes.
Terminator
(correct parameter: “IS+1000”)
IS1000;
Not enough parameters specified
(No direction given for the IF shift)
Alphabetical command
IS+100;
Not enough digits
(Only three frequency digits given)
Commands can be classified as shown below:
Set command
Input

Note: If a particular parameter is not applicable to this
transceiver, the parameter digits should be filled using any
character except the ASCII control codes (00 to 1Fh) and the
terminator (;).
Output
Answer command
(Transmits a condition)
command
(From the
transceiver)
■ Terminator
To signal the end of a command, it is necessary to
use a semicolon (;). The digit where this special
character must appear differs depending on the
command used.
For example, note the following in the case of the FA
command (Frequency of VFO A):
•
•
•
To set the frequency to 7 MHz, the following
command is sent from the computer to the
transceiver:
■ Error Messages
In addition to the Answer command, the
transceiver can send the following error
messages.
“FA00007000000;”
(Set command)
To read the frequency of VFO A, the following
command is sent from the computer to the
transceiver:
Error
Reason for Error
Message
“FA;”
(Read command)
When the Read command above has been sent,
the following command is returned to the
computer:
?;
•
•
Command syntax was incorrect.
Command was not executed due to
the current status of the transceiver
(even though the command syntax
was correct).
“FA00007000000;”
(Answer command)
Note:
Note: Occasionally this message may not
appear due to microprocessor transients in the
transceiver.
◆
◆
◆
Do not use the control characters 00 to 1Fh since they are either
ignored or cause a “?” answer.
Program execution may be delayed while turning the Tuning
control rapidly.
E;
A communication error occurred such
as an overrun or framing error during a
serial data transmission.
Receive data is not processed if the frequency is entered from
the keypad.
■ Alphabetical Commands
O;
Receive data was sent but processing
was not completed.
A command consists of 2 alphabetical characters.
You may use either lower or upper case
characters. The commands available for this
transceiver are listed in the PC Control Command
Tables {page 115}.
