Configuring The Lower And Upper Limit - Kenwood TS-990S Instruction Manual

CONFIGURING THE LOWER AND UPPER LIMIT

In Fixed mode, you can fix the frequency display range of
the bandscope on a band-by-band basis and can display
markers for the receive frequency and transmit frequency
of your transceiver.
Follow the procedure below to configure the lower
limit frequency and upper limit frequency of each band
displayed in Fixed mode.
1 Select Group No. 8, "Bandscope", from the Menu
screen.
2 Access Menu 05, "Fixed Mode LF Band Lower Limit"
(min. 0.03 MHz), to Menu 32, "Fixed Mode 50 MHz
Band Upper Limit (max. 60 MHz)".
The following list of default configurations shows the lower
and upper limit frequencies on a band-by-band basis for
each menu.
3 Press [SELECT] (F4) to allow editing of the parameter
box.
The following list shows the default configurations.
Range
Band Menu
[MHz]
LF 0.030 to 0.300 8-05
MF1 0.300 to 0.522 8-07
MF2 0.522 to 1.705 8-09
1.8 MHz 1.705 to 2.00 8-11
3.5 MHz 2.00 to 4.00 8-13
5 MHz 4.00 to 6.00 8-15
7 MHz 6.00 to 8.00 8-17
10 MHz 8.00 to 11.00 8-19
14 MHz 11.00 to 15.00 8-21
18 MHz 15.00 to 20.00 8-23
21 MHz 20.00 to 22.00 8-25
24 MHz 22.00 to 26.00 8-27
28 MHz 26.00 to 30.00 8-29
50 MHz 30.00 to 60.00 8-31
4 Press [-] (F4) or [+] (F5) to select the lower limit
frequency or upper limit frequency from the parameter
box.
5 Press [ ] (F1).
6 Press [MENU] to exit.
Note:
◆ The difference between the lower limit frequency and the upper
limit frequency is a minimum of 5 kHz and a maximum of 500 kHz.
No lower or upper limit frequency can be configured in excess of
this range. Also, the minimum step frequency for the lower limit
frequency and upper limit frequency is 1 kHz.

APPLYING THE LOWER LIMIT FREQUENCY OR UPPER
LIMIT FREQUENCY FOR CENTER MODE TO FIXED
MODE
The display frequency range (the lower limit frequency
and the upper limit frequency) configured for Center
mode can be applied to Fixed mode. This is a convenient
function to quickly apply the display area for Center mode
to Fixed mode.
1 Press and hold [CTR/FIX] (F3).
• The lower limit frequency and upper limit frequency
selected for use in Center mode replace the lower limit
frequency and upper limit frequency for use in Fixed mode,
and the Bandscope screen switches to Fixed mode.
• If [CTR/FIX] (F5) is unavailable in the key guide, press
[MORE] (F1).
Note:
◆ If the lower limit frequency and upper limit frequency are in different
band, the lower limit frequency and upper limit frequency will not
be refreshed and the display does not change to Fixed mode even
with a long press of [CTR/FIX] (F3).
◆ When the bandscope is switched from Center mode to Fixed mode
with a long press of [CTR/FIX] (F3), the lower limit frequency and
upper limit frequency will be rounded off so as to fully justify the
frequency grids of the bandscope. Therefore, depending on the
receive frequency, the marker display position will be shifted for
one grid or less from the center.
CHANGING THE RECEIVE FREQUENCY USING YOUR
FINGERTIP (FIXED MODE)
As well as Center mode, you can select the target
frequency in the Bandscope screen using your fingertip
to change the frequency into a receive frequency while in
Fixed mode.
The main band frequency will change to the frequency
touched by your fingertip if "MAIN" appears on the upper
left side of the Bandscope screen. Likewise, the sub band
frequency will change to the frequency touched by your
fingertip if "SUB" appears.
Note:
◆ In CW mode, touching the screen longer than the time configured
for the long key press in Menu 0-12 activates the Auto Zero-
in. {page 5-17}
◆ In AM and FM modes, if you change the frequency with a touch of
the screen, the step frequency of the MULTI/CH control configured
in Menus 3-02, 3-03, and 3-05 will be applied.
◆ If "Off" has been configured in Menu 0-13, "Touchscreen Tuning",
no frequency can be changed even with a touch with your
fingertip. Refer to "TOUCHING THE SCREEN TO SELECT A
FREQUENCY" for the configuration method of the touchscreen
tuning. {page 16-4} {page 16-3}
