11 INSTALLATIONTS-590SGFuse (25 A)Red (+)Black (í)DC Power supply(20.5 A or more)E-type onlyANTENNA CONNECTIONAn 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 : antenna of good quality, a high-quality 50 : coaxial cable, and top-quality connectors. All connections must be clean and tight.After making the connections, match the impedance of the coaxial cable and antenna so that the SWR is 1.5:1 or less. High SWR will cause the transmit output to drop and may lead to radio frequency interference with consumer products such as stereo receivers and televisions. You may even cause interference with your own transceiver. Reports that your signal is distorted could indicate that your antenna system is not efﬁciently radiating your transceiver’s power.Connect your primary HF/ 50 MHz antenna feed line to ANT 1 on the rear of the transceiver. If you are using two HF/ 50 MHz antennas, connect the secondary antenna to ANT 2. Refer to page 9 for the location of the antenna connectors.The LF band is outputted only from the DRV terminal.Note:◆ 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.◆ The transceiver’s protection circuit will activate when the SWR is greater than 1.5:1; however, do not rely on protection to compensate for a poorly functioning antenna system.GROUND CONNECTIONAt a minimum, a good DC ground is required to prevent such dangers as electric shock. For superior communications, a good RF ground is required against which the antenna system can operate. Both of these conditions can be met by providing a good earth ground for your station. Bury one or more ground rods or a large copper plate under the ground, then connect this to the transceiver GND terminal. Use heavy gauge wire or a copper strap, cut as short as possible, for this connection. Do not use a gas pipe, an electrical conduit, or a plastic water pipe as a ground.LIGHTNING PROTECTIONEven in areas where lightning storms are less common, there is always a chance that a storm will occur 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 additional protection.DC POWER SUPPLY CONNECTIONIn 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.First, connect the DC power cable to the regulated DC power supply; the red lead to the positive terminal and the black lead to the negative terminal. Next, connect the DC power cable to the transceiver’s DC power connector.s 0RESSTHECONNECTORSlRMLYUNTILTHELOCKINGTABclicks.s !TTACHTHELINElLTERTOTHE$#CABLEASSHOWNbelow (E-type only). 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.

21 INSTALLATIONUTILIZING THE BAILThis transceiver is equipped with a bail so that you can angle the transceiver. The bail is located on the bottom of the transceiver. Pull the bail forward to the limit as shown.REPLACING FUSES The following fuses are used in the TS-590SG transceiver. 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 center or your dealer for assistance.Fuse Location Fuse Current RatingTS-590SG Transceiver4 A (for external antenna tuner)Supplied DC power cable 25 AFuse (4 A) Fuse (25 A) Fuse (25 A) ACCESSORY CONNECTIONSFRONT PANEL■ Headphones (PHONES) Connect monaural or stereo headphones with a 4 to 32 : (normal 8 :) impedance.

After connecting the headphones, you will hear no sound from the internal (or optional external) Speaker/Microphone (MIC).Note: Using a high impedance headphone set causes the volume to be louder.■ Microphone (MIC) Connect a microphone with a 250 to 600 : impedance. Fully insert the connector, then screw the retaining ring clockwise until secure. Compatible microphones include the MC-43S, MC-47, MC-52DM, MC-60A, MC-80, MC-85, and MC-90.Note: Do not use the MC-44, MC-44DM, MC-45, MC-45E, MC-45DM, MC-45DME, or MC-53DM microphones.REAR PANEL■ External Speaker (EXT.SP) On the rear panel of the transceiver, there is an external speaker jack. If an external speaker is connected to EXP. SP, the transceiver internal speaker will mute. Use only external speakers with an impedance of 4 to 8 : (8 : nominal). This jack accepts only 3.5 mm (1/8") diameter, 2-conductor (mono) plugs.Do not connect headphones to this jack. The high audio output of this jack could damage your hearing.■ Keys for CW (PADDLE and KEY) For CW operation while 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 Multi mode Communications Processor (MCP) to the KEY jack. The PADDLE and KEY jacks mate with a 6.3 mm (1/4") 3-conductor plug and a 3.5 mm (1/8") 2-conductor plug, respectively. External electronic keyers or MCPs must use positive keying to be compatible with this transceiver. Use a shielded cable between the key and the transceiver.Note: Due to the functionality of the internal electronic keyer, you may ﬁnd it unnecessary to connect both a paddle and another type of keyer unless you want to use a PC-based keyer for CW. Read the “ELECTRONIC KEYER” section {page 33} to become familiar with the internal keyer.

144 MENU SETUPWHAT IS A 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.MENU A/ MENU BThis transceiver has 2 menus: Menu A and Menu B. These menus contain identical functions and can be conﬁgured independently. The transceiver, therefore, allows you to switch between 2 different environments quickly and easily. For example, you can conﬁgure Menu A for DXing and contesting while Menu B is for 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. Or, 2 operators may share a single transceiver by dedicating one Menu to each operator. Both operators can always enjoy their own conﬁguration.MENU ACCESS1 Press [MENU].s 4HE-ENU.OANDSETTINGAPPEARONTHEdisplay, and the explanation of the menu appears on the sub-display.2 Press [A/B (A=B)] to select Menu A or B.s h vORh ” appears, indicating which Menu is selected.3 Press [Q-M.IN]/ [Q-MR] or turn the MULTI/CH CONTROLTOSELECTTHEDESIRED-ENU.Os %ACHTIMEYOUCHANGETHE-ENU.O a different scrolling message appears on the SUBDISPLAYDESCRIBINGTHE-ENU.O4 Press [M.IN]/ [SCAN (SG.SEL)], or Mic [UP]/ [DWN] to select a parameter.5 Press [MENU] to exit Menu mode.QUICK MENUBecause the number of functions this transceiver provides is extraordinary, there are numerous items in each Menu.

256 ENHANCED COMMUNICATIONSSPLIT-FREQUENCY OPERATIONUsually 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 2 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 26}. Another typical case is when you call a rare DX station.When a rare or desirable DX station is heard, that operator may immediately get many simultaneous responses.
