1ANTENNA CONNECTIONAn antenna system consists of an antenna, feed line,and ground. The transceiver can give excellentresults if the antenna system and its installation aregiven careful attention. Use a properly adjusted 50 Ωantenna of good quality, a high-quality 50 Ω coaxialcable, and first-quality connectors. All connectionsmust be clean and tight.After making the connections, match the impedanceof the coaxial cable and antenna so that the SWR is1.5:1 or less. High SWR will cause the transmitoutput to drop and may lead to radio frequencyinterference to consumer products such as stereoreceivers and televisions. You may even interferewith your own transceiver. Reports that your signal isdistorted could indicate that your antenna system isnot efficiently radiating the transceiver’s power.Connect your primary HF/ 50 MHz antenna feed lineto ANT 1 on the rear of the transceiver. If you areusing two HF/ 50 MHz antennas, connect thesecondary antenna to ANT 2. Connect VHF(144MHz), UHF (430/440 MHz), and 1.2 GHz(Optional) antennas to their respective antennaconnectors on the rear of the transceiver. Refer topage 13 for the location of the antenna connectors.◆Transmitting without connecting an antenna or othermatched load may damage the transceiver. Always connectthe antenna to the transceiver before transmitting.◆All fixed stations should be equipped with a lightning arresterto reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and transceiverdamage.Note: The transceiver’s protection circuit will activate when the SWRis greater than 2.5:1; however, do not rely on protection tocompensate for a poorly functioning antenna system.INSTALLATIONGROUND CONNECTIONAt the minimum, a good DC ground is required toprevent such dangers as electric shock. For superiorcommunications results, a good RF ground isrequired, against which the antenna system canoperate. Both of these conditions can be met byproviding a good earth ground for your station. Buryone or more ground rods or a large copper plateunder the ground, then connect this to the transceiverGND terminal. Use heavy gauge wire or a copperstrap, cut as short as possible, for this connection.Do not use a gas pipe, an electrical conduit, or aplastic water pipe as a ground.LIGHTNING PROTECTIONEven in areas where lightning storms are lesscommon, there are usually a limited number ofstorms each year. Consider carefully how to protectyour equipment and home from lightning. Theinstallation of a lightning arrestor is a start, but thereis more that you can do. For example, terminate yourantenna system transmission lines at an entry panelthat you install outside your home. Ground this entrypanel to a good outside ground, then connect theappropriate feed lines between the entry panel andyour transceiver. When a lightning storm occurs,disconnecting the feed lines from your transceiver willensure added protection.Connect all accessories to the transceiver {pages 3, 60}. Accessories include the following:• Microphone • Antenna Tuner • CW Key • Computer • TNC/ Multimode Communications Processor|nstall and connect an antenna system{page 1}.Install a ground system that satisfies DC and RF grounding requirements {page 2}.Install lightning protection to protect the antenna system, your personal safety, and your property {page 2}.Install and connect a DC power supply {page 2}.• Headphones• External Speaker• RTTY Equipment• Linear Amplifier

2DC POWER SUPPLY CONNECTIONIn order to use this transceiver, you need a separate13.8 V DC power supply that must be purchasedseparately. Do not directly connect the transceiver toan AC outlet. Use the supplied DC power cable toconnect the transceiver to a regulated power supply.Do not substitute a cable with smaller gauge wires.The current capacity of the power supply must be20.5 A peak or more.First, connect the DC power cable to the regulatedDC power supply; the red lead to the positive terminaland the black lead to the negative terminal. Next,connect the DC power cable to the transceiver’s DCpower connector. Press the connectors firmlytogether until the locking tab clicks.Note:◆Before connecting the DC power supply to the transceiver, besure to switch OFF the DC power supply and transceiver.◆Do not plug the DC power supply into an AC outlet until youmake all connections.UTILIZING THE BAILThis transceiver is equipped with a bail so that youcan angle the transceiver. The bail is located on thebottom of the transceiver. Pull the bail forward to thelimit as shown.REPLACING FUSESIf the fuse blows, determine the cause then correctthe problem. Only after the problem has beenresolved, replace the blown fuse with a new one withthe specified ratings. If newly installed fuses continueto blow, disconnect the power plug and contact aKENWOOD service station or your dealer forassistance.1 INSTALLATIONnoitacoLesuF gnitaRtnerruCesuF0002-ST A4)renutannetnalanretxenaroF(rewopCDdeilppuS elbac A52TS-2000/ TS-2000XTS-B2000Fuse holdersDC 13.8VRedBlackPull the bail

31 INSTALLATIONACCESSORY CONNECTIONSFRONT PANEL■Headphones (PHONES)Connect monaural or stereo headphones having a4 to 32 Ω impedance. This jack accepts a6.3 mm (1/4") diameter, 2-conductor (mono) or3-conductor (stereo) plug. After connecting theheadphones, you will hear no sound from theinternal (or optional external) speaker.■Microphone (MIC)Connect a microphone having an impedancebetween 250 and 600 Ω. Fully insert theconnector, then screw the retaining ring clockwiseuntil secure. Compatible microphones include theMC-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■External Speakers (EXT.SP1/ EXT.SP2)This transceiver has 2 independent receivers.Thus, it can output 2 separate audio signals. As adefault, the transceier mixes both audio signalsinternally and outputs them from the internalspeaker. On the rear panel of the transceiver,there are 2 external speaker jacks. If an externalspeaker is connected to EXP.SP1, the internalspeaker will mute. If the speaker is connected toEXT.SP2, both the external speaker and theinternal speaker will function. Use only externalspeakers with an impedance of 4 to 8 Ω. Thesejacks accept only 3.5 mm (1/8") diameter,2-conductor (mono) plugs.Do not connect headphones to this jack. The high audio outputof this jack could damage your hearing.■Keys for CW (PADDLE and KEY)For CW operation using the internal electronickeyer, connect a keyer paddle to the PADDLEjack. For CW operation without using the internalelectronic keyer, connect a straight key,semi-automatic key (bug), electronic keyer, or theCW keyed output from a MultimodeCommunications Processor (MCP) to the KEYjack. The PADDLE and KEY jacks mate with a 6.3mm (1/4") 3-conductor plug and a 3.5 mm (1/8")2-conductor plug respectively. External electronickeyers or MCPs must use positive keying to becompatible with this transceiver. Use a shieldedcable between the key and the transceiver.Note: Due to the functionality of the internal electronic keyer, youmay find it unnecessary to connect both a paddle and anothertype of keyer unless you want to use a PC-based keyer for CW.Read the “ELECTRONIC KEYER” section {page 42} to becomefamiliar with the internal keyer.iquytwerTS-2000TS-2000XTS-B2000+GND GND dash dot8V(10 mA max)MicrophoneHeadphoneTS-2000TS-2000XTS-B2000MIC connector (Front view)External speaker• Paddle• Straight key• Bug key• Electronic keyer• MCP CW outputMICPTTDOWNUPGND(STBY)GND(MIC)NC

After switching thetransceiver ON, you can switch it OFF or ONusing only the power switch of the DC powersupply. The transceiver stores the informationof the POWER switch position when the DCpower source is switched OFF.ADJUSTING VOLUMEAUDIO FREQUENCY (AF) GAINTurn the MAIN AF control clockwise to increase theaudio level and counterclockwise to decrease thelevel.Note: The position of the MAIN AF control does not affect thevolume of beeps caused by pressing keys nor the CW transmitsidetone. The audio level for Packet operation is also independent ofthe MAIN AF control setting.RADIO FREQUENCY (RF) GAINSet the MAIN RF control fully clockwise. You mayturn it counterclockwise slightly when you havetrouble hearing the desired signal because ofexcessive atmospheric noise or interference fromother stations. First take note of the peak S-meterreading of the desired signal. Then turn the MAIN RFcontrol counterclockwise until the S-meter reads thepeak value that you noted. Signals that are weakerthan this level will be attenuated and reception of thestation will become easier.Depending on the type and gain of your antenna, andthe condition of the band, you may also prefer leavingthe MAIN RF control turned counterclockwise by thesame amount rather than turning it fully clockwise.When using FM mode, always set the MAIN RFcontrol fully clockwise.SELECTING VFO A OR VFO B2 VFOs are available for controlling the frequency onthe main transceiver. Each VFO, VFO A and VFO B,works independently so that a different frequency andmode can be selected. When SPLIT operation isactivated, VFO A is used for reception and VFO B isused for transmission. The opposite combination isalso possible.Press [A/B] to toggle between VFO A and VFO B.•“tA” or “tB” appears to indicate which VFO isselected.SELECTING A BANDPress [+] or [–] to select your desired band.• Holding down either key changes the bandscontinuously.<PANEL>PFF LOCK ASEND ATANT1/2PROCLEVELVOXATT PRELEVELPFF LOCK A1CH1/REC2CH2/REC3CH3/REC4TONE/SEL5METER6CTCSS/SEL7NB/LEVEL8AGC/OFF9FINE/STEP.DCS/SEL0SHIFT/OFFSETENTSENDPHONESMICATANT1/2PROCLEVELVOXATTPRELEVELLEVELLEVELMANUALLO/WIDTHHI/SHIFTN.R.A.N.B.C.FUNCCLRMAINAUTOCARTX MONIDELAY NARREVMICPWRKEYLSBUSBCWFSKFM AMDISPSEL1MHz CTRLMENMHF/VHE/UHF ALL MOMAINCALLC.INUTOSBSBSUBSEL1MHz CTRLMRM VFOMG.SELM.INM.INQUICK MEMOSATLA/BM/S REVTRACEMAINMANUALRFAFSQLSUBCHMULTIBCMAINGAINVFO/CHVFO/M A=BSPLITMENU TF-SETMAIN SUBSG.SELSCANRITCW TUNE 9.6k STARIT/SUBCONXITALTSETCLEARP.C .

For example, eachpress of [LSB/ USB/ AUTO] toggles between LSBand USB mode.Press [FUNC], [LSB/ USB/ AUTO] to toggle the AutoMode Selection for SSB. When it is active, “AUTO”appears. If you change the frequency above orbelow 9.5 MHz, the transceiver automaticallyswitches modes; LSB for frequencies under 9.5 MHzand 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 transceiverautomatically changes the operating mode to FM.You can further add the frequency table data tochange the mode automatically {page 73}.ADJUSTING SQUELCHThe purpose of the Squelch is to mute the speakerwhen no signals are present. With the squelch levelcorrectly set, you will hear sound only while actuallyreceiving signals. The higher the selected squelchlevel, the stronger the signals must be to receive.The appropriate squelch level depends on theambient RF noise conditions.Turn the MAIN SQL control, when there are nosignals present, to select the squelch level at whichthe background noise is just eliminated; the MAINband LED will turn off. Many ham operators preferleaving the MAIN SQL control fully counterclockwiseunless operating on a full-carrier mode such as FM.The squelch level for the main transceiver is preset atthe factory to approximately 9 o’clock for FM and 11o’clock for SSB and AM.SELECTING A FREQUENCYTurn the Tuning control clockwise or press Mic [UP]to increase the frequency. Turn the Tuning controlcounterclockwise or press Mic [DWN] to decrease thefrequency.You may prefer directly entering a frequency usingthe numeric keypad if the desired frequency is farfrom the current frequency. Press [ENT], then pressthe numeric keys as necessary. For details, see“Direct Frequency Entry” {page 37}.This transceiver provides many other methods forquickly selecting a frequency. For further information,see “SELECTING YOUR FREQUENCY” {page 36}.FRONT PANEL METERThe multi-function meter measures the parameters inthe table below. The S-meter and FILTER scalesappear when the main transceiver is in receive mode,and the PWR meter appears when it is in transmitmode. Each press of [5/ METER] switches amongthe ALC, SWR, and COMP meters. Peak readingsfor the S-meter, ALC, SWR, COMP, and PWRfunctions are held momentarily.Note:◆The COMP meter functions only when the Speech Processoris ON for SSB, FM, or AM mode.◆The PWR indicator shows the output power level as apercentage on the 1.2 GHz band.◆The SWR meter works only for ANT 1 and ANT 2 (HF/ 50 MHzband).◆Peak Hold readings cannot be deactivated.reteM ?derusaeMsItahWSslangisdeviecerfohtgnertSRWP rewoptuptuotimsnarTCLA sutatslortnoclevelcitamotuARWS oitarevawgnidnatsmetsysannetnAPMOC gnisunehwlevelnoisserpmochceepS }04egap{rossecorPhceepSehtRETLIF htdiwretlifPSDAUTONARREVLSBUSBCWFSKFMAMPFF LOCK A1CH1/REC2CH2/REC3CH3/REC4TONE/SEL5METER6CTCSS/SEL7NB/LEVEL8AGC/OFF9FINE/STEP.DCS/SEL0SHIFT/OFFSETENTSENDPHONESMICATANT1/2PROCLEVELVOXATTPRELEVELLEVELLEVELMANUALLO/WIDTHHI/SHIFTN.R.A.N.B.C.FUNCCLRMAINAUTOCARTX MONIDELAY NARREVMICPWRKEYLSBUSBCWFSKFM AMDISPSEL1MHz CTRLMENMHF/VHE/UHF ALL MOMAINCALLC.INUTOSBSBSUBSEL1MHz CTRLMRM VFOMG.SELM.INM.INQUICK MEMOSATLA/BM/S REVTRACEMAINMANUALRFAFSQLSUBCHMULTIBCMAINGAINVFO/CHVFO/M A=BSPLITMENU TF-SETMAIN SUBSG.SELSCANRITCW TUNE 9.6k STARIT/SUBCONXITALTSETCLEARP.

28BASIC COMMUNICATIONSSSB TRANSMISSIONSSB is the most commonly-used mode on the HFAmateur bands. Compared with other voice modes,SSB requires only a narrow bandwidth forcommunications. SSB also allows long distancecommunications with minimum transmit power.If necessary, refer to “OPERATING BASICS”,beginning on page 18, for details on how to receive.1Select an operating frequency.2Press [LSB/ USB/ AUTO] to select either lower orupper sideband mode.• “LSB” or “USB” appears to show whichsideband is selected.3Press [MIC/ CAR] to activate the MicrophoneGain Adjust.• The current gain level appears.4Press [SEND], or press and hold Mic [PTT].• The MAIN band LED lights red.• Refer to “VOX” {page 29} for information onautomatic TX/RX switching.5Speak into the microphone and adjust theMULTI/ CH control so that the ALC meter reflectsyour 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 tooloudly may increase distortion and reduceintelligibility at the receiving end.• You may want to use the Speech Processor.Refer to “SPEECH PROCESSOR” {page 40}for details.6Press [SEND] or release Mic [PTT] to return toreceive mode.• The MAIN band LED lights green or turns off,depending on the MAIN SQL setting.7Press [MIC/ CAR] to quit the Microphone GainAdjust.Refer to “COMMUNICATING AIDS”, beginning onpage 37, for information on additional usefuloperation functions.FM TRANSMISSIONFM is a common mode for communicating on VHF orUHF frequencies. Many amateur radio operators usetheir portable radios and mobile transceivers in FMmode. You can also utilize repeaters to reach yourfriends when they are outside your antennacoverage. Although FM requires a wider bandwidthwhen compared to SSB or AM mode, it has the finestaudio quality among these modes. When combinedwith the full-quieting aspect of FM signals, whichsuppress background noise on the frequency, FM canbe the best method for maintaining regular scheduleswith your local friends.If necessary, refer to “OPERATING BASICS”,beginning on page 18, for details on how to receive.1Select an operating frequency.2Press [FM/ AM/ NAR] to select FM mode.• “FM” appears.3Press [SEND], or press and hold Mic [PTT].• The MAIN band LED lights red.• Refer to “VOX” {page 39} for information onautomatic TX/RX switching.4Speak into the microphone in your normal toneand level of voice.• Speaking too close to the microphone or tooloudly may increase distortion and reduceintelligibility at the receiving end.• You can switch the Microphone Gain for FMbetween low, medium, and high by using MenuNo. 41. Low is usually appropriate; however,select high if other stations report that yourmodulation is weak. The MULTI/ CH controlhas no effect in FM mode.5Press [SEND] or release Mic [PTT] to return toreceive mode.• The MAIN band LED lights green or turns off,depending on the MAIN SQL setting.Refer to “COMMUNICATING AIDS”, beginning onpage 37, for additional information on usefuloperation functions.

29 6 BASIC COMMUNICATIONSNARROW BANDWIDTH FOR FMWhen operating in FM mode, you can select wide ornarrow bandwidth operation. The table below showsthe RX IF filter bandwidth and TX deviationcombination for each operating mode. Thebandwidth selection is crucial to avoid audio distortionor insufficient intelligibility that the other station willencounter.1K-type: Main transceiver only.All E-types: Main transceiver and sub-receiver.1Press [FM/ AM/ NAR] to select FM mode.2Press [FUNC], [FM/ AM/ NAR] to toggle theselection between Wide and Narrow.• “FM” or “FMN” appears to indicate whichbandwidth is selected.NARROW BANDWIDTH FOR AMWhen receiving AM on the main transceiver, you canfurther decrease the bandwidth to eliminateinterferences. However, the TX deviation of AM is notaffected by this selection.1Press [FM/ AM/ NAR] to select AM mode on themain transceiver.2Press [FUNC], [FM/ AM/ NAR] to toggle theselection between Normal and Narrow.• “AM” or “AMN” appears to indicate which IFbandwidth is selected for the main transceiver.AM TRANSMISSIONEach mode used on the HF Amateur bands has itsown advantages. Although long distance DXcontacts may be less common while using AM, thesuperior audio quality characteristic of AM operationis one reason why some hams prefer this mode.When looking for others operating on AM, check thefollowing frequencies first:3885 kHz, 7290 kHz, 14286 kHz, 21390 kHz, and29000 ~ 29200 kHzIf necessary, refer to “OPERATING BASICS”,beginning on page 18, for details on how to receive.1Select an operating frequency.2Press [FM/ AM/ NAR] to select AM mode.• “AM” appears.3Press [MIC/ CAR] to activate the MicrophoneGain Adjust.• The current gain level appears.4Press [SEND], or press and hold Mic [PTT].• The MAIN band LED lights red.• Refer to “VOX” {page 39} for information onautomatic TX/RX switching.5Speak into the microphone and adjust theMULTI/ CH control so that the calibrated powermeter slightly reflects your voice level.• Speak in your normal tone and level of voice.Speaking too close to the microphone or tooloudly may increase distortion and reduceintelligibility at the receiving end.• You may want to use the Speech Processor.Refer to “SPEECH PROCESSOR” {page 40}for details.6Press [SEND] or release Mic [PTT] to return toreceive mode.• The MAIN band LED lights green or turns off,depending on the MAIN SQL setting.7Press [MIC/ CAR] to quit the Microphone GainAdjust.Refer to “COMMUNICATING AIDS”, beginning onpage 37, for information on additional usefuloperation functions.Note: If necessary, adjust the carrier level before speaking into themicrophone.

306 BASIC COMMUNICATIONSCW TRANSMISSIONCW operators know that this mode is very reliablewhen communicating under worst conditions. It maybe true that newer digital modes rival CW as beingequally as useful in poor conditions. These modes,however, do not have the long history of service northe simplicity that CW provides.This transceiver has a built-in electronic keyer thatsupports a variety of functions. For details on usingthese functions, refer to “ELECTRONIC KEYER”{page 42}.If necessary, refer to “OPERATING BASICS”,beginning on page 18, for details on how to receive.1Select the operating frequency.2Press [CW/ FSK/ REV] to select CW mode.• “CW” appears.• To precisely tune in another station, use AutoZero-beat. Refer to “AUTO ZERO-BEAT”{below}.3Press [SEND].• The MAIN band LED lights red.• Refer to “CW BREAK-IN” {page 42} forinformation on automatic TX/ RX switching.4Begin sending.• As you transmit, you should hear a sidetonethat lets you monitor your own transmission.Refer to “TX SIDETONE/ RX PITCHFREQUENCY” {below}.5Press [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 keydown, turn the MULTI/ CH control so that the ALC meter reads withinthe ALC zone but does not exceed the upper ALC zone limit. Press[FUNC], [MIC/ CAR] again to complete the adjustment.AUTO ZERO-BEATUse Auto Zero-beat before transmitting to tune in aCW station. Auto Zero-beat automatically and exactlymatches your transmit frequency with the station youare receiving. Neglecting to do this will reduce yourchances of being heard by the other station.1Press [FUNC], [RIT/ CW TUNE] to start AutoZero-beat.• “CW TUNE” appears.• Your transmit frequency automatically changesso that the pitch of the received signal exactlymatches the TX sidetone/ RX pitch frequencythat you have selected. Refer to “TXSIDETONE/ RX PITCH FREQUENCY” {below}.• When matching is completed, “CW TUNE”disappears.• If matching is unsuccessful, the previousfrequency is restored.2To quit Auto Zero-beat, press [FUNC],[RIT/ CW TUNE] or [CLR].Note:◆You cannot start Auto Zero-beat if you have selected 1.0 kHzor wider for the DSP filter bandwidth.◆When using Auto Zero-beat, the matching error is within±50 Hz in most cases.◆Auto Zero-beat may fail if the keying speed of the targetstation is too slow or when some interference is present.◆When RIT function is ON, only RIT frequencies changes tomake Auto Zero-beat adjustment.TX SIDETONE/ RX PITCH FREQUENCYAs you send CW, you will hear tones from thetransceiver speaker. These are called transmit (TX)sidetones. Listening to these tones, you can monitorwhat you are transmitting. You may also use thetones to ensure that your key contacts are closing,the keyer is functioning, or to practice sending withoutactually putting a signal on the air.Receive pitch refers to the frequency of CW that youhear after tuning in a CW station.On this transceiver, the frequency of the sidetone andreceive pitch are equal and selectable. Access MenuNo. 31 to select the frequency that is mostcomfortable for you. The selectable range is from400 Hz to 1000 Hz in steps of 50 Hz.To change the volume of the TX sidetone, accessMenu No. 13. The selections range from 1 to 9 andOFF.Note: The position of the MAIN AF and SUB AF controls does notaffect the volume of the TX sidetone.

31ENHANCED COMMUNICATIONSSPLIT-FREQUENCY OPERATIONUsually you can communicate with other stationsusing a single frequency for receiving andtransmitting. In this case, you select only onefrequency on either VFO A or VFO B. However, thereare cases where you must select one frequency forreceiving and a different frequency for transmitting.This requires the use of two VFOs. This is referred toas “split-frequency operation”. One typical casewhich requires this type of operation is when you usean FM repeater {page 22}. Another typical case iswhen you call a rare DX station.When a rare or desirable DX station is heard, thatoperator may immediately get many simultaneousresponses. Often, such a station is lost under thenoise and confusion of many calling stations. If youfind that you are suddenly being called by manyoperators, it is your responsibility to control thesituation. You may announce that you will be“listening up 5 (kHz, from your present transmitfrequency)”, or “listening down between 5 and 10(kHz)”.1Press [MAIN], [A/B] to select VFO A or VFO B onthe main transceier.•“tA” or “tB” appears to show which VFO isselected.2Select an operating frequency.• The frequency selected at this point will beused for transmitting.• To copy the selected VFO frequency to theother VFO, press [A=B].3Press [A/B] to select the other VFO.4Select an operating frequency.• The frequency selected on this VFO will beused for receiving.5Press [SPLIT].• “SPLIT” appears.• Each press of [A/B] reverses the receive andtransmit frequencies.6To quit split-frequency operation, press [SPLIT]again.• “SPLIT” disappears.If you access Menu No. 06A and select “ON”, you canrecall a memory channel to use for either receiving ortransmitting. For more information, refer to “Memory-VFO Split Operation” {page 60} under “MEMORYFEATURES”.Note: You cannot perform SPLIT operation on the sub-receiver; ithas only one VFO.TF-SET (TRANSMIT FREQUENCY SET)TF-SET allows you to temporarily switch yourtransmit frequency and receive frequency. Cancelingthis function immediately restores the originaltransmit and receive frequencies. By activating TF-SET, you can listen on your transmit frequency, andchange it while listening. This allows you to checkwhether or not the newly selected transmit frequencyis free of interference.1Configure split-frequency operation as explainedin the previous section.2Press and hold [TF-SET].3While holding down [TF-SET], change theoperating frequency by turning the Tuning controlor by pressing Mic [UP]/ [DWN].• The transceiver receives on the frequency thatyou select, but the frequency shown on thesub-display stays unchanged.4Release [TF-SET].• You are now receiving again on your originalreceive frequency.Successfully contacting a DX station in a pileup oftendepends on making a well-timed call on a clearfrequency. That is, it is important to select a relativelyclear transmit frequency and to transmit at the exactinstant when the DX station is listening but themajority of the group aren’t transmitting. Switch yourreceive and transmit frequencies by using TF-SETand listen. You will soon learn the rhythm of the DXstation and the pileup. The more proficient youbecome at using this function, the more DX stationsyou will contact.Note:◆If you press [FUNC], [ATT/ F LOCK] to lock the operatingfrequency before using TF-SET, pressing an incorrect buttonby mistake retains the original receive frequency.◆TF-SET is disabled while transmitting.◆If you have recalled a memory channel (excluding CH 290 to299), you cannot change the recalled frequency using theTuning control.◆To enable the Tuning control, access Menu No. 06B andselect “ON”. Pressing Mic [UP]/ [DWN] after recalling amemory channel changes the memory channels.◆An RIT frequency shift is not added; however, an XITfrequency shift is added to the transmit frequency.

327 ENHANCED COMMUNICATIONSFM REPEATER OPERATIONWhen using FM mode, you may access a repeater toenjoy long distance communications. Repeaters,which are often installed and maintained by radioclubs, are usually located on mountain tops or otherelevated locations. Generally they operate at higherERP (Effective Radiated Power) than a typical station.This combination of elevation and high ERP allowscommunications in FM over much greater distancesthan FM communications without using repeaters.Most repeaters use a receive and transmit frequencypair with an offset. In addition, some repeaters mustreceive a tone from the transceiver before it allowsaccess. 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 localrepeater reference.This transceiver provides the following three methodsfor 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:◆When programming two separate frequencies using two VFOs,be sure to select FM mode on both VFOs.◆When operating through a repeater, over deviation caused byspeaking too loudly into the microphone can cause your signal to“talk-off” (break up) through the repeater.PROGRAMMING AN OFFSETWhen using the 29, 50, 144, 430 (440) MHz or1.2 GHz band (TS-2000/ TS-B2000 Optional),selecting a single frequency and an offset is anothermethod for programming two separate frequencies.Unlike the Split-Frequency function, this methodrequires only a single VFO.Note: If you store offset settings in a memory channel, you need notreprogram each time.

Use oneof the following methods to bring the transmitfrequency within the band limits:• Move the receive frequency further inside theband.• Change the offset direction.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.■Selecting an Offset FrequencyTo access a repeater which requires an odd-splitfrequency pair, change the offset frequency fromthe default which is used by most repeaters. Thedefault offset frequencies are as follows.As for 29 and 50 MHz bands, the default offset isset to 0 MHz (Simplex). Program the desiredoffset frequency for these bands.1Press [FUNC], [0/ SHIFT/ OFFSET].2Turn the MULTI/ CH control to select theappropriate offset frequency.• The selectable range is from 0.00 MHz to59.95 MHz in steps of 50 kHz.3Press [FUNC], [0/ SHIFT/ OFFSET] again tocomplete the setting.All E-types only: If you have selected “ =” for the offsetdirection, you cannot change the default (–7.6 MHz or –6.0 MHz).dnaB dna.S.U srehtO eporuEzHM441 ±zHk006zHM)044(034 ±zHM0.5 ±zHM6.1 zHM6.7-).tpO(zHG2.1 ±zHM0.21 ±zHM0.53 zHM0.6-

33 7 ENHANCED COMMUNICATIONSTRANSMITTING A TONESome FM repeaters require the transceiver totransmit a subaudible tone to prevent other repeaterson the same frequency from locking each other up.The required tone frequency differs among repeaters.Repeaters also differ in their requirements for eithercontinuous or burst tones. For the appropriateselections for your accessible repeaters, consult yourlocal repeater reference.After completing the tone settings, pressing [SEND]or pressing and holding Mic [PTT] causes thetransceiver to transmit the selected tone. If you haveselected a 1750 Hz tone, press [4/ TONE/ SEL] totransmit the tone without pressing [PTT].Note: If you store tone settings in a memory channel, you need notreprogram each time. Refer to “MEMORY FEATURES” {page 58}.■Activating the Tone Function1Confirm that FM mode has been selected onthe VFO(s).• When using two VFOs, you must select FMmode on both VFOs.2Press [4/ TONE/ SEL] to switch the Tonefunction ON (or OFF).• “T” appears when the function is ON.Note:◆You cannot use the Tone function with the CTCSS or DCSfunctions.◆You need to activate the Tone function only when selectingone of the 38 standard frequencies. The selection you makehere will not affect the transmission of the 1750 Hz tone.■Selecting a Tone Frequency1Press [FUNC], [4/ TONE/ SEL].• The current tone frequency appears. Thedefault is 88.5 Hz.2Turn the MULTI/ CH control to select theappropriate tone frequency.• The available tone frequencies are listed inthe following table.3Press [FUNC], [4/ TONE/ SEL] to complete thesetting.Note:◆Use Nos. 01 to 39 shown in the table above when selectingtone frequencies via Computer Control {page XX}.◆You can select a tone frequency independent of a CTCSSfrequency.■Selecting Continuous or BurstAccess Menu No. 42 to select “Continuous” or“Burst”. With Continuous selected, the transceiversends the tone continuously during thetransmission. With Burst selected, the transceiversends a 500 ms tone each time transmissionstarts. When using the 144, 430 (440) MHz, or1.2 GHz band, continuous tones are alwaystransmitted, regardless of the selection.■Transmitting a 1750 Hz ToneMost repeaters in Europe require transceivers totransmit a 1750 Hz tone. With 1750 Hz toneselected, pressing [4/ TONE/ SEL] causes thetransceiver to transmit the 1750 Hz tone.Releasing the key ceases transmission of thecode. Some repeaters in Europe must receivecontinuous signals for a certain period of time,following a 1750 Hz tone.

37 COMMUNICATING AIDSRECEIVINGSELECTING YOUR FREQUENCYIn addition to turning the Tuning control or pressingMic [UP]/[DWN], there are several other ways toselect your frequency. This section describesadditional methods of frequency selection that maysave your time and effort.■Direct Frequency EntryWhen the desired frequency is far removed fromthe current frequency, directly entering afrequency from the numeric keypad is usually thefastest method.1Press [ENT].• “- - - . - - - . - - ” appears.2Press the numeric keys ([0] to [9]) to enteryour desired frequency.• Pressing [ENT] fills the remaining digits (thedigits you did not enter) with 0 andcompletes entry.• To select 1.85 MHz for example, press [0],[0], [0], [1], [8], [5], then press [ENT] tocomplete the input (7 key strokes).• To shorten the key strokes, you can alsouse [•] as MHz. Press [1], [•] (MHz), [8],[5], then press [ENT] to complete the input(5 key strokes).• Pressing [CLR] cancels the entry andrestores the current VFO frequency.Note:◆You can enter the frequency in the range of 30.00 kHz to1299.99999 MHz.◆Attempting to enter a frequency that is outside theselectable frequency range causes an alarm to sound.The entered frequency is rejected.◆When the entered frequency does not meet the currentVFO frequency step size requirement, the nearestavailable frequency is automatically selected (Sub-receiver). The nearest available frequency isautomatically selected after the entered frequency ischanged (Main transceiver).◆When the 10 Hz digit (last displayed digit) is entered, thedigit 0 is automatically entered for the 1 Hz digit, andfrequency entry is completed. The 1 Hz digit is notdisplayed.◆When an entered frequency is accepted, RIT or XIT will beswitched OFF, but the RIT or XIT offset frequency is notcleared.◆After recalling memory channels 290 to 299 that haveStart and End frequencies stored, the receive frequencycan be changed by using Direct Frequency Entry withinthe programmed range.■Using 1 MHz StepsPressing [+]/ [–] on the front panel changesAmateur bands. You can also use the MULTI/ CHcontrol to change the operating frequency in stepsof 1 MHz.1Press [1MHz/ SEL].• “MHz” appears.2Turn the MULTI/ CH control.• Clockwise increases the frequency, counter-clockwise decreases the frequency.3Press [1MHz/ SEL] to exit the function.• “MHz” disappears.If you prefer to change the frequency in steps of100 kHz or 500 kHz steps rather than 1 MHz,press [FUNC], [1MHz/ SEL] then turn theMULTI/ 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.■Quick QSYTo move up or down the frequency quickly, use theMULTI/ CH control. Turning this control changesthe 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 frequencystep 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 or100 kHz for FM/ AM, and 1 kHz, 2.5 kHz,5 kHz, or 10 kHz for the other modes. Thedefault step size is 5 kHz for SSB/ CW/ FSK/AM and 10 kHz for FM (below 60 MHz).• When changing the operating frequency byusing the MULTI/ CH control, frequencies arerounded such that new frequencies aremultiples of the frequency step size. To cancelthis function, access Menu No. 04 and selectOFF (default is ON).• Within the AM broadcast band, the step sizeautomatically defaults to the frequency stepvalue in Menu No. 5. This step size can beswitched between 9 kHz (ON) and 5 kHz (OFF)via Menu No. 05.Note: The programmed frequency step size for the MULTI/ CHcontrol is stored independently for the HF/ 50 MHz, 144 MHz,430 (440) MHz and 1.2 GHz bands (Main transceiver). You canalso set a different frequency step size for SSB/ CW/ FSK, AM,and FM modes. The sub-receiver also stores the independentfrequency step size for 118 MHz (K-type only), 144 MHz,300MHz (K-type only), and 430 (440) MHz bands. You can alsoset a different frequency step size for FM and AM.

38 8 COMMUNICATING AIDS■Fine TuningThe default step value when turning the Tuningcontrol to change the frequency is 10 Hz for SSB,CW, and FSK modes, and 100 Hz for FM and AMmodes. However, you can change the step size to1 Hz for SSB, CW, and FSK modes, and 10 Hz forFM and AM modes.1Press [FINE].• “FINE” appears.2Turn the Tuning control to select the exactfrequency.3To quit the function, press [9/ FINE/ STEP]again.• “FINE” disappears.Note:◆Fine Tuning works only on the main transceiver.◆If Menu No. 03 is ON, you cannot perform fine tuning in FMmode for all bands and AM mode for the 144 MHz/ 430(440) MHz/ 1.2 GHz (Optional) bands.■Equalizing VFO Frequencies (A=B)This function allows you to copy the frequency andmodulation mode of the active VFO to the inactiveVFO.1Select the frequency and mode on VFO A orVFO B.2Press [A=B].• The frequency and mode selected in step 1are copied to the inactive VFO.3Press [A/B] to confirm that the frequency wascopied.RIT (RECEIVE INCREMENTAL TUNING)RIT provides the ability to change your receivefrequency by ±20.00 kHz in steps of 10 Hz withoutchanging your transmit frequency. If the Fine Tuning([FINE/ STEP]) function is ON, the step size becomes1 Hz. RIT works equally well with all modulationmodes and while using VFO or Memory Recall mode.1Press [RIT].•“RIT” and the RIT offset appear.2If required, press [CLEAR] to reset the RIT offsetto 0.3Turn the RIT/ SUB control to change your receivefrequency.4To turn off RIT, press [RIT/ CW TUNE].• The receive frequency is returned to thefrequency that was selected prior to step 1.Note:◆RIT works only on the main transceiver.◆When storing the frequency in Memory channel with RIT functionON, RIT offset frequency is added or subtracted to/ from the VFOfrequency. Then the calculated data is stored in the Memorychannel.AGC (AUTOMATIC GAIN CONTROL)When using a mode other than FM, AGC selects thetime constant for the automatic gain control circuit.Selecting a slow time constant will cause the receivergain and S-meter readings to react slowly to largeinput changes. A fast time constant causes thereceiver gain and the S-meter to react quickly tochanges in the input signal. A fast AGC setting isparticularly useful in the following situations:• Tuning rapidly• Receiving weak signals• Receiving high-speed CWUnlike other transceivers, the TS-2000’s digital AGCcircuit allows you to adjust the time constant fromslow to fast in 20 steps, where 1 is the slowest and20 is the fastest. Furthermore, you can switch theAGC OFF if you desire.For your convenience, the following default AGC timeconstant has already been programmed.SSB: Level 7 CW: Level 12FSK: Level 14 AM: Level 5To change the default time constant:1Press [8/ AGC/OFF].• The AGC time constant scale appears on thesub dot-matrix display.2To select a slower time constant, turn theMULTI/ CH control counterclockwise. The barindicator moves from F(ast) to S(low). To select afaster time constant, turn the MULTI/ CH controlclockwise. The bar indicator moves from S(low) toF(ast).3If you want to turn the AGC OFF, press [FUNC],[8/ AGC/OFF].Note: You cannot adjust the AGC time constant on the sub-receiver.

39 8 COMMUNICATING AIDSTRANSMITTINGVOX (VOICE-OPERATED TRANSMIT)VOX eliminates the necessity of manually switchingto the transmit mode each time you want to transmit.The transceiver automatically switches to transmitmode when the VOX circuitry senses that you havebegun speaking into the microphone.When using VOX, develop the habit of pausingbetween thoughts to allow the transceiver to dropback to receive mode briefly. You will then hear ifanybody wants to interrupt, plus you will have a shortperiod to gather your thoughts before speaking again.Your listeners will appreciate your consideration aswell as respect your more articulate conversation.VOX can be switched ON and OFF independently forCW and the other modes, excluding FSK.Press [VOX/ LEVEL] to toggle VOX ON and OFF.• The VOX LED lights.■Microphone Input LevelTo enjoy the VOX function, take the time toproperly adjust the gain of the VOX circuit. Thislevel controls the capability of the VOX circuit todetect the presence or absence of your voice. InCW mode, this level cannot be adjusted.1Select USB, LSB, FM, or AM mode.2Press [VOX/ LEVEL] to switch the VOXfunction ON.• The VOX LED lights.3Press [FUNC], [VOX/ LEVEL].• The current VOX gain appears on the subdot-matrix display.4 While speaking into the microphone using yournormal tone of voice, adjust the setting (defaultis 4) using the MULTI/ CH control until thetransceiver reliably switches to transmit modeeach time you speak.• The selectable gain range is from 0 to 9.• The setting should not allow backgroundnoise to switch the transceiver to transmitmode.Note: The VOX gain level can be adjusted even if VOX isswitched OFF or while you are transmitting.■Delay TimeIf the transceiver returns to receive mode tooquickly after you stop speaking, your final wordmay not be transmitted. To avoid this, select anappropriate delay time that allows all of yourwords to be transmitted without an overly longdelay after you stop speaking.1Select USB, LSB, FM, or AM mode.2Press [VOX/ LEVEL] to switch the VOXfunction ON.3Press [FUNC], [KEY/ DELAY].• The current setting appears on the sub dot-matrix display. The default is 50.4While speaking into the microphone using yournormal tone of voice, adjust the MULTI/ CHcontrol such that the transceiver switches toreceive 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.5Press [FUNC], [KEY/ DELAY] to set the VOXdelay.

40 8 COMMUNICATING AIDSSPEECH PROCESSORThe Speech Processor levels out large fluctuations inyour voice while you speak. When using SSB, FM, orAM mode, this leveling action effectively raises theaverage transmit output power, resulting in a moreunderstandable signal. The amount of voicecompression is fully adjustable. You will notice thatusing the Speech Processor makes it easier to beheard by distant stations.1Select USB, LSB, FM, or AM mode.2Press [PROC/ LEVEL] to switch the SpeechProcessor ON.• The PROC LED lights.3Press [FUNC], [PROC/ LEVEL] to enter theSpeech Processor input level adjustment mode.4As you speak into the microphone, turn theMULTI/ CH control so that the compression meterindicates that the compression level is around 10dB while you speak.• Using higher compression will not improve yoursignal clarity or apparent signal strength.Excessively compressed signals are moredifficult to understand due to distortion and areless pleasant to hear than signals with lesscompression.5Press [FUNC], [PROC/ LEVEL] to exit the SpeechProcessor input level adjustment.6Press [MIC/ CAR] to enter the Microphone GainAdjustment.• As you speak into the microphone, turn theMULTI/ CH control so that the ALC meterreflects accroding to your voice level but doesnot exceed the ALC limit.

If the FineTuning ([FINE]) function is ON, the step size is 1 Hz.1Press [XIT/ ALT].• “XIT” and the XIT offset appear.2If required, press [CLEAR] to reset the XIT offsetto 0.3Turn the RIT/ SUB control to change your transmitfrequency.4To turn XIT OFF, press [XIT/ ALT].• The transmit frequency is returned to thefrequency that was selected prior to step 1.Note:◆XIT works only on the main transceiver.◆The frequency shift set by the RIT/ SUB control is also used bythe RIT function. Therefore, changing or clearing the XIT offsetalso affects the RIT offset.◆When XIT frequency exceeds the limit of the amateur radio band,the transceiver automatically stops transmitting.

41 8 COMMUNICATING AIDSTRANSMIT INHIBITTransmit Inhibit prevents the transceiver from beingplaced in transmit mode. No signal can betransmitted and receiver audio is muted with thisfunction is ON even if the PTT or [SEND] is pressed.• TX Inhibit OFF: Transmission is allowed.• TX Inhibit ON: Transmission is not allowed.Switch the function ON or OFF via Menu No. 54. Thedefault is OFF.CHANGING FREQUENCY WHILE TRANSMITTINGMoving your frequency while transmitting is usuallyan unwise practice due to the risk of interfering withother stations. However, if necessary, by using theTuning control you can change the operatingfrequency while transmitting. You also can changethe XIT offset frequency while in transmit mode.While transmitting, if you select a frequency outsidethe transmit frequency range, the transceiver isautomatically forced to receive mode. If you selectedtransmit mode by pressing [SEND], transmission willnot resume until you select a frequency inside thetransmit frequency range, at which time you mustpress [SEND] again.CUSTOMIZING TRANSMIT SIGNALCHARACTERISTICSThe 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 factsince you don’t listen to your own signal.

Tochange the CW sidetone volume, access MenuNo. 13 and OFF, or 1 to 9.■Insert KeyingIf you operate a CW keyer manually while playingback a recorded CW message, the transceiverstops playing back the message. However, duringcontests or regular QSOs, you may sometimeswant to insert a different number or message at acertain point in the recorded message.In this case, first record the CW message as usual{page 43}, without the number or message youwant to insert. Then, access Menu No. 30 andselect ON.Now if you operate a CW keyer while you playback a recorded message, the transceiver pausesthe playback of the recorded message, instead ofstopping it. When you finish sending the numberor message with the keyer, the transceiverresumes playback of the message.FREQUENCY CORRECTION FOR CWIf you operate both SSB and CW modes, you wouldsometimes use SSB mode (USB or LSB) just towatch and listen CW signals. It is fine just to monitorthose CW signals but you have experienced thatchanging the mode from SSB to CW results losingthe target CW signal. This is because the frequencyon the display always shows the true carrierfrequency for all modes. If you want the transceiverto shift the receiving frequency to trace the receivingCW signal when changing the mode from SSB (USBor LSB) to CW, switch this function ON. Thetransceiver shifts the receiving frequency whenchanging the mode from SSB to CW. So, you canstill hear the target signal and instantly trasmit thesignal in CW, without adjusting the frequency.1Press [MENU], then turn the MULTI/ CH control toaccess Menu No. 37.2Press [+] to select ON.3Press [MENU] to store the settings and exit theMenu mode.AUTO CW TX IN SSB MODEIf you operate both SSB and CW modes, you canconfigure the transceiver to change the operatingmode from SSB (USB or LSB) to CW and thentransmit in CW mode when you operate the CWkeyers.1Press [MENU], then turn the MULTI/ CH control toaccess Menu No. 36.2Press [+] to select ON.3Press [MENU] to store the settings and exit theMenu mode.Note: You must switch the break-in function ON to change themode and transmit in CW mode {Page 42}.

45SUB-RECEIVERSUB-RECEIVERThe TS-2000 transceiver is equipped with 2independent receivers. The main transceiver canreceive from 30 kHz to the UHF band (or 1.2 GHzband if the optional UT-XX is installed) while the sub-receiver can receive signals in FM or AM mode onthe VHF (144 MHz) or UHF (430/ 440MHz) band.You can assign the sub receiver to monitor the localrepeater activities or your club channel while you areoperating on the HF/ 50MHz or VHF/ UHF/ (Optional1.2 GHz) bands with the main tranceiver.Since the TS-2000 also has a built-in TNC, you canassign the sub-receiver to monitor the local DXPacketCluster channel activities without using anexternal TNC. If a new DX station is reported to theDX Packet Cluster, the transceiver automaticallydisplays the DX station data. If desired, you canfurther transfer the DX frequency information to themain tranceiver to watch and instantly make contactwith the DX station {page 53}.TX BAND AND CONTROL BANDIn this manual, the frequency on the left of the displayis referred to as the MAIN band and the frequency onthe right is called the SUB band.To understand how to control the MAIN band andSUB band frequencies and functions, please note thedifferences between the TX band and the Controlband, below.TX BANDPress [MAIN] to display “PTT” and “CTRL” icons onthe MAIN band. When “PTT” is on the MAIN banddisplay, the MAIN band is currently selected as thetransmission band. You can use the MAIN bandfrequency to transmit signals or to control the maintransceiver functions.If you press [SUB], the “PTT” and “CTRL” icons moveto the SUB band display. This means that the SUBband is now selected as the transmission band andcontrols the functions. You can use the SUB bandfrequency to transmit signals or control the subreceiver functions.CONTROL BANDOn some occasions, you may need to adjust thefrequency and/ or functions for the band you are nottransmitting on. To do this, press [CTRL]. Forexample, if both “PTT” and “CTRL” are on the MAINband display, pressing [CTRL] will move “CTRL” tothe SUB band display. “PTT” remains on the MAINband display. This allows you to continue transmittingon the MAIN band while you adjust the functions ofthe sub-receiver.RECEIVINGACTIVATING THE SUB-RECEIVERPress the SUB AF control to switch the sub-receiverON or OFF. The orange LED above the SUB AF/SQL control lights when the sub-receiver is switchedON.Note: When switching ON or OFF the sub-receiver, you may hear apoping sound from the speaker. This is not a malfunction.CONTROLLING THE SUB-RECEIVERTo control all the available functions of the sub-receiver, press [SUB] to transfer the controls andtransmission capability to the sub-receiver. The PTTand CTRL icons move from the main transceiver tothe sub-receiver.

474 SUB-RECEIVER144 MHz and 430 (440) MHz bands, activating theattenuator function for the sub-receiver also causesthe function to switch ON for the same band of themain transceiver.PRE-AMPLIFIERThe pre-amplifier amplifies the level of receivedsignals. It is useful when the receiving signal isweak. If there is no strong interference from adjacentfrequencies, switch the pre-amplifier ON to raise thereceiving signal level. Since the main transceiver andsub-receiver share the same antenna for the144 MHz and 430 (440) MHz bands, activating thepre-amplifier function for the sub-receiver also causesthe function to switch ON for the same band of themain transceiver.DUAL WATCHIf different frequency bands are set on the maintransceiver and sub-receiver, you can still monitor theother band activities while transmitting on the TXband. It is useful that you can still monitor the localrepeater frequency (VHF or UHF band) while you areworking on a DX station on the HF band of the maintransceiver.If you have the same frequency band (VHF or UHFband) for the main transceiver and sub-receiver, youcan monitor both frequencies independently at thesame time. However, both receivers will temporarilymute when you transmit, because the transceivershares the same 144 MHz and 430 (440) MHz bandantenna between the main transceiver and sub-receiver.SCANAll types of scanning are also available for the sub-receiver. However, the operating frequency range islimited to the sub-receiver’s frequency coverage.Refer to “SCAN” {page 66} for details on how tooperate the scan function.NOISE REDUCTIONSince the sub-receiver can receive only in FM or AMmode, DSP noise reduction 1 (Line Enhanced) isavailable to reduce the noise from the receivingsingals. Refer to “REJECTING INTERFACE” {page56} for details on how to control and adjust thefunction.TRANSMITTINGFirst, confirm that the “PTT” icon is on the SUB banddisplay. Press [SEND] or press and hold Mic [PTT],then speak into the microphone in your normal toneof voice. When you finish speaking, press [SEND]again or release Mic [PTT].SELECTING A TRANSMIT POWERYou can also adjust the output power for FM mode inthe 144 and 430 (440) MHz bands when you areoperating the sub-receiver.1Press [PWR].• The current transmit power appears.2Turn the MULTI/ CH control counterclockwise toreduce the power or clockwise to increase thepower.Note:◆The selectable range varies depending on the current band andmode {page 20}.◆Output power configuration is also reflected in the maintransceiver.MICROPHONE GAINAccess 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 FMmode; this may cause insufficient modulation. For othermicrophones, select “M” (medium) or “L” (low).FM REPEATER OPERATIONYou can also configure an independent repeateroffset frequency for the sub-receiver, if necessary.Refer to “FM REPEATER OPERATION” {page 32} fordetails.REVERSE FUNCTIONPress [TF-SET] to switch the sub-receiver Reversefunction ON (or OFF). “R” appears while the Reversefunction is active on the sub-receiver.Refer to “REVERSE FUNCTION” {page 34} fordetails.

48AUTOMATIC SIMPLEX CHECK (ASC)You can also use ASC functions on the 144 MHz and430 (440) MHz bands of the sub-receiver. Whileusing a repeater, ASC periodically monitors thestrength of the uplink frequency to check the signals.Press and hold [TF-SET] until “[R]” appears on theSUB band display.Refer to “AUTOMATIC SIMPLEX CHECK” {page 34}for function and control details.TRANSMITTING A TONEYou can assign another Tone to the sub-receiver.Refer to “TRANSMITTING A TONE” {page 33} forfunction and control details.MEMORYYou can also utilize all the memory functions{page 58}, including Quick Memory {page 64}, whileyou are operating the sub-receiver. However, theoperating frequency range is limited to the sub-receiver’s frequency coverage. You cannot recall anymemory channels that are outside the the sub-receiver’s frequency coverage. These channels areautomatically skipped when they are recalled on thesub-receiver.

49SPECIALIZED COMMUNICATIONSPACKET RADIOPacket is a unit of data transmitted as a whole fromone computer to another, on a network. Packets canbe transmitted on radio waves as well as oncommunications lines. Besides a transceiver and acomputer, all you need is a terminal node controller(TNC) or Multimode Communications Processor(MCP). One of the tasks of TNCs and MCPs is toconvert data packets to audio tones, and vice versa.This transceiver has a built-in TNC which allows youto use basic (not full) packet applications.A variety of packet applications developed by hamsinclude packet bulletin board systems (PBBSs).PBBSs are created and maintained by volunteerscalled System Operators (SysOp). You may accessone of your local PBBSs to send e-mail, downloadfiles, or obtain various useful information. Thousandsof PBBSs, which have formed a worldwide network,relay e-mail to their intended destinations around theworld.When you access a local PBBS for the first time, youoften need to register as a new user. After you aresuccessfully registered, it will then be available asyour home PBBS. E-mail addressed to you will beheld under a directory, called a mailbox, on yourhome PBBS.To send e-mail, you must designate the address of arecipient, using his or her call sign and the call sign ofhis or her home PBBS; ex. KD6NUH@KJ6HC. In thisexample, the e-mail is addressed to KD6NUH whosehome PBBS is KJ6HC. If your home PBBS cannotfind KJ6HC in its address file to forward your mail,you must designate the address in more detail. Youmay enter “KD6NUH@KJ6HC.#ABC.CA”, or“KD6NUH@KJ6HC.#ABC.CA.USA”, or up to“KD6NUH@KJ6HC.#ABC.CA.USA.NA”, asnecessary. The complete address of a recipient livingin the U.S.A., for example, should include anappropriate region code (preceded by a #), state,country, and continent abbreviations, as above.For further information, consult reference bookswhich should be available at any store that handlesAmateur Radio equipment. Web pages relating toPacket will also be helpful. On Internet searchengines, use “Packet Radio” as key words to findthose Web pages.Note:◆Unlike a TNC, a Multimode Communications Processor (MCP)serves as a communications interface in several digital modessuch as Packet, RTTY, and AMTOR. You can cause it to switchamong the modes by sending a single command from yourcomputer.◆If there is an amateur radio club in your area, consider becominga member. You can often learn more in an hour fromexperienced hobbyists, than in a month of independent research.Ask on the local repeaters, or contact your national amateur radioorganization (the ARRL in the U.S.A.) for information on localamateur radio clubs. You’ll be glad you did.BUILT-IN TNCThis transceiver has a built-in TNC which conforms tothe AX.25 protocol. This protocol is used forcommunication between TNCs. The TNC accepts datafrom your personal computer and assembles it intopackets. It then converts those packets to audio toneswhich the transceiver can transmit. The TNC also takesaudio tones from the transceiver, converts them to datafor the computer, and checks for errors in the data.In order to activate the built-in TNC, access MenuNo. 55 and select ON. The defulat is OFF. “TNC” willappear to show that the built-in TNC is ON.The TNC mainly functions in Command or Conversemode. First, you should learn the difference betweenthese two modes.•Command modeWhen you select Packet mode, the TNC entersCommand mode. A “cmd:” prompt appears on thecomputer screen. You can type commands fromthe computer keyboard to change the settings ofthe TNC. When in Converse mode, press[Ctrl]+[C] on the keyboard to return to Commandmode.•Converse modeThe TNC enters this mode when a link with thetarget station is established. On the computerkeyboard, type an appropriate command and amessage if necessary, then press [Enter] or[Return]. What you type is converted into packetsand transmitted over the air. When in Commandmode, type CONVERSE, CONV, or K to enterConverse mode.For the commands supported by the built-in TNC, see“TNC COMMANDS LIST” on page XX.Note:◆Not all functions available via conventional TNCs are supportedby the TNC built in this transceiver.◆The built-in TNC automatically reinitiates when a malfunction isdetected; this does not designate that the transceiver is defective.PBBS

51 7 SPECIALIZED COMMUNICATIONSRADIO TELETYPEWRITING (RTTY)RTTY is the data communications mode with thelongest history. It was originally designed for use withmechanical teletypewriters which were often usedbefore personal computers become common. Nowyou can easily start operating RTTY with a personalcomputer and MCP. Unlike Packet, each time youtype a letter, it is transmitted over the air. What youtyped is transmitted and displayed on the computerscreen of the recipient.RTTY operation uses frequency shift keying (FSK)and the 5-bit Baudot code or the 7-bit ASCII code totransmit information.For the cable connections, see “RTTY” {page XX}.For further information, consult reference booksabout Amateur Radio.1Access Menu No. 38 and select an FSK shift.• FSK shift is the difference in frequenciesbetween a mark and a space.• The 170 Hz default is used on the Amateurbands.2Access Menu No. 39 and select a key-downpolarity.• Select “NORMAL” to transmit a mark whenkeying down or “INVERS” to transmit a space.The default is “NORMAL”.3Access Menu No. 40 and select high tone(2125 Hz) or low tone (1275 Hz) for mark.• High tone (default) is commonly usednowadays.4Select an operating frequency.5Press [CW/FSK] to select FSK.• “FSK” appears.6If necessary to be compatible with the otherstation, press [FUNC], [CW/FSK] to reverse thetransceiver to the upper sideband.• “FSR” appears.• Traditionally, the lower sideband is used forFSK operation.• Press [FUNC], [CW/FSK] to return to the lowersideband.7Following the instructions provided with your MCP,enter a command from your computer to selecttransmit mode.• The MAIN band LED changes from green (RX)to red (TX).• You may instead press [SEND] to manuallyselect the transmit mode.8Begin sending data from your computer.• Use Menu No. 50C to select the appropriate AFoutput level.

527 SPECIALIZED COMMUNICATIONSAMTOR/ PacTOR/ CLOVER/ G-TOR/ PSK31Besides Packet and RTTY, digital modes which havebeen used among hams include AMTOR, PacTOR,CLOVER, G-TOR, and PSK31. This manual does notdescribe much about these modes. For details,consult reference books about Amateur Radio.AMTOR (AMateur Teleprinting Over Radio) hasbrought amateur HF digital communication into thecomputer age. It is the first error-free HF digital modeby which data bursts (not steady stream of data) aretransmitted.PacTOR (Packet Teleprinting On Radio) hascombined the best features of both AMTOR andPacket to improve the efficiency of HF digitalcommunications. Like Packet and AMTOR, PacTORsends error-free data using a handshaking method.Of all the Amateur Radio HF digital modes, CLOVERoffers the best overall performance using acomplicated modulation technique, automatic poweradjustment and other advanced features. It mayallow communications to be maintained under theworst conditions.G-TOR (Golay-coded Teleprinting Over Radio) isrelatively new Amateur Radio digital mode currently inuse. G-TOR was developed specifically to handle theadverse conditions of communicating, across thesolar system, with spacecraft during their missions.PSK31 is developed by an RTTY enthusiast in theGreat Britain, G3PLX. The operating technique isvery similar to the conventional Baudot-RTTY,although a more sensitive fine-tuning is required, as aPSK31 signal requires a tuning accuracy of a fewHerts. A specialty of PSK31 is that it allows the entireASC II character set, including the back spacecharacter.Your MCP should handle some or all of the abovemodes. For available modes on your MCP, consultthe instruction manual for the MCP. For the cableconnections, see “MCP AND TNC” {page XX}.On most HF bands, audio frequency shift keying(AFSK) is used for the above modes. This method ofmodulation uses audio tones therefore either LSB orUSB mode should be selected. Traditionally, LSB isused, similar to RTTY, with the exception of AMTORwhich is normally operated in USB.AMTOR activity can be found on or near 14075 and3637.5 kHz. These are also good starting placeswhen searching for PacTOR, Clover, G-TOR, orPSK31 stations.Note: When using SSB mode for digital operation, use a fastAGC setting and switch your Speech Processor OFF.SLOW SCAN TV/ FACSIMILESlow-scan Television (SSTV) is a popular applicationfor transmitting still images over the air, from onestation to another. Instead of trying to describe yourstation, simply showing it is much faster. Transmittingimages over the air requires a scan converter,besides a transceiver. A scan converter transformsimages taken with a video camera into audio signalsthat can be fed into your transceiver. The recipient’sscan converter transforms audio signals back intovideo images so that he or she can view them on aTV set.Nowadays instead of a scan converter, many hamsuse a personal computer, a software application, andan interface attached to the transceiver. This is muchcheaper, more flexible, and does not require a TV set.In recent years, many low cost digital cameras havebecome available. You can transfer images fromthese cameras into your computer.For further information, consult reference booksabout Amateur Radio. The frequencies (measured inkHz) commonly used for SSTV operation are listedbelow:Fax (facsimile) is one of the original imagetransmission modes. Using this mode allows you toexchange more detailed graphics than SSTV.Amateur Radio fax functions much like old analog faxsystems. It scans paper and converts acquiredimage data into a series of tones representing whiteand black portions of the image. Because faxrequires longer transmission time, you should use itonly when band conditions are stable with strongsignals.Popular fax frequencies include the following:• 7245, 14245, 21345 (International Net), and28945 kHzOperating on SSTV or fax mainly involves learningthe functionality of your computer application oraccessory hardware that supports these modes.Consult the instruction manual that comes with yoursoftware or accessory equipment.Note: When operating either SSTV or fax, use a fast AGC settingand switch OFF your Speech Processor, for best results.adanaC/.A.S.U 1noigeRURA )acirfA/eporuE(7583,54830473~037317175407~530733241,0324153241~522410431254312~533120868258682~57682005541???

53 7 SPECIALIZED COMMUNICATIONSDX PACKETCLUSTER TUNEDX PacketCluster is a packet network which consistof nodes and stations who are interested in DXingand contesting. If one station finds a DX station onthe air, he or she sends a notice to his or her node.This node then passes the information to all its localstations as well as another node. This transceivercan display received DX information and hold thelatest information on up to 10 DX stations.This transceiver is also capable of automaticallytuning in a reported DX station. In order to use theAuto Tune function, access Menu No. 49A and selectAUTO; the default is MANUAL.1Press [A/B] to select VFO A or VFO B.2Press [SUB] to activate the sub-band receiver.3The SUB band LED lights orange.4Tune to the frequency of the target DXPacketCluster node on the sub-receiver.5Press [FUNC], [SET/ P.C.T.] to enter thePacktClusters Monitor mode.• Each time new DX PacketCluster data isreceived, an alarm sounds and the informationis displayed on the sub-band as shown below:<DISPLAY>• Press [FUNC], [SET/ P.C.T.] again to exit thismode.6If you are using the Auto Tune function, press[SET/ P.C.T.].• The main band is tuned to the frequency of thereported DX station, on the sub-band.• Transmitting on the tuned frequencydeactivates 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/ CHcontrol. Press [SET/ P.C.T.] to tune the main band tothe selected station. Press QUICK MEMO [MR]again to quit the DX information display.The transceiver can be set to output a Morse codeinstead of a beep when new DX PacketCluster data isreceived. Access Menu No. 49B and select MORSE.VOICE or OFF can also be set.Note:◆You cannot send DX information to a node using this function.◆The DX information in memory is cleared when the transceiverpower is turned OFF.NodeNodeNodeStationSATELLITE OPERATIONIt was in December of 1961 when the first Amateursatellite named OSCAR I was launched. OSCARstands for Orbiting Satellite Carrying Amateur Radio.Since then quite a few of Amateur satellites havebeen launched, and about 20 satellites are currentlyin orbit serving thousands of hams throughout theworld.Some Amateur satellites contain transponders thatreceive analog signals in one band, amplify them,shift their frequencies to another band, and retransmitthem. You can enjoy communications in SSB or CWwith other stations via these analog satellites. Mostof them are orbiting at relatively low altitudes and arecalled LEOs (Low Earth Orbit).Amateur satellites receive (uplink) on one band andtransmit (downlink) on another. Differentcombinations of uplink and downlink bands arerepresented by modes such as A, B, and K. Forexample, a Mode K satellite receives on the 21 MHzband and transmits on the 29 MHz band. Thistransceiver can handle the modes listed in the table.In order to work the satellites, you need a rotator thatallows azimuth and elevation control, plus a high-gaindirectional antenna. Your antenna has to tracksatellites which travel from horizon to horizon.However, many hams have been successfully usingfixed omnidirectional antennas. If you are using adirectional antenna, it would be wise to obtain a passprediction program.Doppler Shift is another aspect that you must takeinto account when working the satellites. As a targetsatellite travels away, frequencies on which you willreceive change. This transceiver has a function thatautomatically keeps the sum or difference betweenthe two frequencies identical when you change thereceive frequency.For further information, consult Internet Web pagesrelating to Amateur satellites. On Internet searchengines, use “AMSAT” as key words to find thoseWeb pages. AMSAT (Radio Amateur SatelliteCorporation) is the world wide organization ofAmateur Satellite operators and supporters. FromAMSAT Web pages, you can also download a varietyof utilities, including pass prediction programs, whichwill ease your satellite operations.edoM dnaBknilpU dnaBknilnwoDAzHM441zHM92BzHM)044(034zHM441AJzHM441zHM)044(034KzHM12zHM92TzHM12zHM441

When you change the operatingmode, the previous setting is recalled for each operatingmode.◆When the Packet filter (Menu No. 50A) is ON, you cannotchange the DSP filter bandwidth. Switch the Packet filterOFF to adjust the DSP filter bandwidth.■CW/ FSK Modes1Press [CW/ FSK/ REV] to select CW or FSKmode.2Press [DISP/ SEL].• The current filter selection appears.3Turn the LO/ WIDTH control clockwise toincrease (wide) the bandwidth, orcounterclockwise to decrease (narrow) thebandwidth.4As for CW, you can further adjust the shiftfrequency for passband. Turn the HI/ SHIFTcontrol to adjust the shift frequency from 400 to1000 Hz in steps of 50 Hz. The default shiftfrequency is 800 Hz.5To return the display to the current operatingmode, press [DISP/ SEL]. REJECTING INTERFERENCEDSP FILTERSKENWOOD digital signal processing (DSP)technology is used for the functions described in thissection. Using DSP filtering, the TS-2000 frees youfrom installing many analog filters for each operatingmode. Additionally, you can control the bandwidth,cancel the multiple jamming beat, and reduce thenoise level using DSP filtering technology.CHANGING THE RECEIVE BANDWIDTHFor improving interference reduction capability, thistransceiver also provides IF filters designed usingDSP technology. When in SSB, FM, or AM mode,you can change the filter bandwidth by altering its lowand/or high cut-off frequency. For CW and FSKmodes, you can change the filter bandwidth bydirectly specifying a bandwidth. Changing the filterbandwidth does not affect the current receivefrequency.Note:◆The receive filter bandwidth can be changed only on the maintransceiver.◆AF DSP filter is used for FM mode.■SSB/ FM/ AM Modes1Select SSB, FM, or AM mode.2Press [DISP/ SEL].• The current filter selection appears.3Turn the LO/ WIDTH control clockwise to raisethe low cut-off frequency, or counterclockwiseto lower the low cut-off frequency.Turn the HI/ SHIFT control clockwise to raisethe high cut-off frequency, or counterclockwiseto lower the high cut-off frequency.Interferingsignal Desiredsignal Interfering signaltsujdA )zH(snoitceleSycneuqerFHTDIW/OL ,004,003,002,001,05,0 ,009,008,007,006,005 0001TFIHS/IH ,0002,0081,0061,0041 ,0082,0062,0042,0022 0005,0004,0043,0003edoM )zH(snoitceleShtdiwdnaB tluafeD )zH(WC ,004,003,002,051,001,08,05 0002,0001,006,005 006KSF0051,0001,005,0520051edoM tuc-woltluafeD )zH(yceuqerf tuc-hgihtluafeD )zH(ycneuqerfMF/BSS0030062MA0010005LO/WIDTHffHI/SHIFTff

56Press [FUNC], [B.C./ MANUAL], then turn theMANUAL BC control to select the single BeatCancel frequency manually. You can select thebeat cancel frequency from approx. 230 Hz to3300 Hz by turning the control. Turn the controlclockwise to select a higher frequency andcounterclockwise to select a lower frequency.•Since the DSP Automatic Beat Cancel processesthe incoming signals at the AF stage, strong beatsignals may affect the AGC level. In this case,use the Auto Notch Filter instead, to remove thebeat signal from the IF passband filter.Note: While receiving intermittent CW signals, the transceiverclicks. 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 NoiseReduction functions (1 and 2) for reducing randomnoise which interferes with the desired signal. Tryingthem both is the easiest way to judge which functionworks more effectively under the current conditions.Normally, select Noise Reduction 1 (Line Enchanced)in SSB mode and Noise Reduction 2 (SPAC) in CWmode.Press [N.R./ LEVEL] to toggle between NoiseReduction 1, Noise Reduction 2, and OFF.• “N. R. 1” or “N.R. 2” appears, depending on whichfunction is selected.■Setting the N.R. 1 Level AdjustmentThe Noise Reduction 1 (Line Enchanced Method)uses an adaptive filter to reduce the noise elementfrom the received signals. When the S/N ratio isreasonably goo in SSB, using N.R.1 will improvethe S/N further.While the N.R. 1 is ON, you can further adjust thenoise reduction level by pressing [FUNC],[N.R./ LEVEL], then turn MULTI/ CH control toselect the level from 1 to 10 or AUTO. The defaultis AUTO.■Setting the N.R. 2 Time ConstantYou can change the correlation time for NoiseReduction 2 (SPAC). When in SSB mode, selectthe correlation time that allows you to hear signalswith more clarity. When receiving CW, it is best toselect the longest correlation time that allowsreliable 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 toselect the correlation time from 2 ms to 20 ms.The default is 20 ms.Note:◆Using Noise Reduction 2 in SSB mode may lower the clarityof signals or induce pulse noise, depending on theconditions.◆Only N.R. 1 is available for the sub-receiver. However, thelevel cannot be adjusted. 9 REJECTING INTERFERENCENOTCH FILTER (SSB)Auto Notch filter automatically locates and attenuatesany single interfering tone within the receive passband. This function operates digitally at the IF filterlevel, hence it can affect your S-meter reading andmay also affect (slightly attenuate) your desiredsignal. However, controlling the AGC level bynotching out the strong interfering beat signals couldbring up the desired SSB signal that is covered by theinterfering beat signal. If the interfering tone is weak,you may find that Beat Cancel eliminates them moreeffectively.Press [A.N./ LEVEL] to toggle the Auto Notch FilterON and OFF.•“A.N.” appears when the function is ON.•The interfering beat signals are notched out.If the interfering beat signals change the tonefrequency randomly, you can adjust the Auto Notchlevel.Press [FUNC], [A.N./ LEVEL] to access the AutoNotch level adjustment, then turn the MULTI/ CHcontrol to select the level from 0 to 5. Level 1 is theslowest beat tone tracking speed and Level 5 is thefastest. Level 0 terminates the beat tone tracking.BEAT CANCEL (SSB/ AM)Beat Cancel uses an adaptive filter and attenuatesmore than one cyclic interference within the receivepass band. The adaptive filter changes itscharacteristics according to the nature of the signalbeing received at any given moment. You can useautomatic Beat Cancel when in SSB or AM mode.Press [B.C./ MANUAL] to toggle the Auto BeatCancel ON and OFF.•“B.

$6410 MEMORY FEATURESQUICK MEMORYQuick memory is designed to quickly and temporarilysave data without specifying a particular memorychannel. Use Quick memory to store data you willnot use in future operating sessions. For example, asyou tune across the band looking for DX, it isconvenient to store stations that you want to contact.You can quickly jump between several differentmemory channels as you monitor them.This transceiver provides ten Quick memory channels(“0_” to “9_”) that can store the following data:STORING INTO QUICK MEMORYEach time you store a new frequency, all previouslystored frequencies are bumped to the next respectiveQuick memory channel. When all ten memorychannels contain frequencies, storing one morefrequency bumps the contents of memory channel 9off the stack (the data is lost).The following diagram illustrates how the QuickMemory stacks the data in memory each time youpress QUICK MEMORY [M.IN].dnaycneuqerfAOFV edomgnitarepo dnaycneuqerfBOFV edomgnitarepoFFO/NOreviecer-buS ycneuqerfreviecer-buS edomgnitarepodnaFFO/NOTIRFFO/NOTIXycneuqerftesffoTIX/TIRhtdiwdnabretlifrevieceRFFO/NOreknalBesioNFFO/NOENIFnoitcudeResioNPSD 2/1/FFO lecnaCtaeBPSD FFO/NOhctoNotuAPSD FFO/NO snoitcnufXR/XT24.911Memory 0144.005Memory 114.235Memory 2441.250Memory 318.111Memory 450.015Memory 57.082Memory 629.610Memory 73.545Memory 8145.250Memory 921.005Memory 024.911Memory 1144.005Memory 214.235Memory 3441.250Memory 418.111Memory 550.015Memory 67.082Memory 729.610Memory 83.545Memory 914.085Memory 021.005Memory 124.911Memory 2144.005Memory 314.235Memory 4441.250Memory 518.111Memory 650.015Memory 77.082Memory 829.610Memory 9MEMORY GROUPTo manage 300 memory channels, you can dividethem up into a maximum of 10 groups (Groups 0 to9).
