ADJUSTING THE TRANSMIT OUTPUT POWER
FOR TX TUNE
While in TX Tune, press [PWR] to turn the
transmission output power adjusting mode for TX Tune
ON/OFF.
You can adjust the transmission output power of TX
Tune by turning the MULT/CH control while in TX Tune
mode.
The TX Tune mode ON/OFF status is stored.
The following procedure shows how to set the
transmission output power of TX Tune while in RX
mode.
1 Press [PWR (TX MONI)] while receiving to enter
the transmission output power adjusting mode.
2 Press the assigned [PF] key, “204” (TX TUNE 1)
or “205” (TX TUNE 2), to enter the transmission
output power adjusting mode for TX Tune.
• “T.PWR” appears.
3 Turn the MULTI/CH control to select the
transmission output power for TX Tune.
4 Press [PWR (TX MONI)] or [CLR] to exit the
transmission output power adjusting mode for TX
tune.
Note:
While in the transmission output power adjusting mode for
TX Tune, you can start TX Tune by pressing the PF key to
which [TX TUNE 1] or [TX TUNE 2] is assigned.
When you fi nish TX Tune, the transmission output power
adjusting mode for TX Tune exits.
QUICK DATA TRANSFER
This transceiver has the capability to quickly and
conveniently transfer the reception frequency and
mode to another compatible transceiver. Compatible
transceivers include:
TS-590SG/ 590S TS-480HX/ SAT TS-2000/X
TS-570S/ 570D TS-870S TS-990S
Data transfer could be useful while contesting. A
spotting station that is searching for new contest
multipliers can quickly transfer a frequency over to the
running (main) station.
SETTING UP
Equipment Needed
In addition to a compatible transceiver, to transfer
to a TS-990S, TS-590SG, TS-590S, TS-480HX/
SAT, TS-2000/X, TS-570S/D, or TS-870S, you
must have 1 cross-wired cable with a DB-9 female
connector at both ends.
Connections
For diagrams on how to connect the 2 transceivers,
refer to “CONNECTING PERIPHERAL
EQUIPMENT” {page 69}.
TX TUNE
The TX Tune function allows you to adjust the antenna
length, or tune the linear amplifi er while transmitting a
continuous CW signal.
To use the TX Tune function, fi rst assign the function
to a PF key (either the front panel or Microphone PF
keys).
Method 1:
1 Press [MENU], then press [Q-M.IN]/ [Q-MR] or
turn the MULTI/CH control to select a Menu No.
from 87 to 99.
2 Press [M.IN]/ [SCAN (SG.SEL)] to select “204”
(TX TUNE 1).
3 Press [MENU] to exit Menu mode.
4 Press the assigned [PF] key.
The transceiver automatically switches to CW
mode, and transmits a continuous carrier.
The transceiver selects the SWR meter function
automatically.
While in TX Tune mode, most keys are disabled.
The default output power is confi gured as
10 watts. However, you can adjust the output
power using [PWR (TX MONI)] and the MULTI/
CH control if necessary. The transceiver stores
the new output power setting when you exit the
TX Tune mode.
5 Press the assigned [PF] key again to exit the TX
Tune mode.
Method 2:
1 Press [MENU], then press [Q-M.IN]/ [Q-MR] or
turn the MULTI/CH control to select a Menu No.

2 Press [M.IN]/ [SCAN (SG.SEL)] to select “205”
(TX TUNE 2).
3 Press [MENU] to exit Menu mode.
4 Press and hold the assigned [PF] key.
The transceiver automatically switches to CW
mode, and transmits a continuous carrier.
The transceiver selects the SWR meter function
automatically.
