Tuning The Frequency; Tuning With The Tuning Control - Kenwood TS-990S Instruction Manual

4 BASIC OPERATIONS
While Auto Mode is active, you can select the operating
band automatically assigned to each channel. For normal
Amateur Radio use, LSB mode should be selected for
SSB frequencies lower than 10.1 MHz and USB mode
should be selected for SSB frequencies higher than 10.1
MHz.
The following list shows an example of the configurations
for the auto mode frequencies in the HF or 50 MHz bands.
Frequency Mode
1.620 MHz AM
2.000 MHz CW
3.500 MHz LSB
3.525 MHz CW

14.070 MHz CW-R 14.0 MHz ≤ freq. < 14.07 MHz
14.112 MHz FSK 14.07 MHz ≤ freq. < 14.112 MHz

24.930 MHz CW 24.89 MHz ≤ freq. < 24.93 MHz
28.000 MHz USB 24.93 MHz ≤ freq. < 28.0 MHz
28.070 MHz CW 28.0 MHz ≤ freq. < 28.07 MHz
28.150 MHz FSK 28.07 MHz ≤ freq. < 28.15 MHz
28.200 MHz CW 28.15 MHz ≤ freq. < 28.2 MHz
29.000 MHz USB
30.000 MHz FM-DATA
50.000 MHz USB
50.100 MHz CW
51.000 MHz USB
52.000 MHz FM
60.000 MHz USB
Note:
◆ No auto mode frequencies above 52.0 MHz are configured. The
frequency range of 52.0 MHz ≤ freq < 60.0 MHz is grouped as FM
mode.

50.1 MHz ≤ freq. < 51.0 MHz
51.0 MHz ≤ freq. < 52.0 MHz
52.0 MHz ≤ freq. < 60.0 MHz

TUNING THE FREQUENCY

There are another methods to tune the frequency other
than the basic methods of rotating the Tuning control or
pressing [UP] or [DOWN] (microphone). This section
describes how to select the frequency quickly.

TUNING WITH THE TUNING CONTROL

1 Rotate the Tuning (M) or Tuning (S) control to
increment or decrement the frequency.
• Rotate it clockwise to increase the frequency and rotate it
counterclockwise to decrement the frequency.
• You can adjust the number of steps per revolution of the
Tuning control. If Fine Tuning is inactive in SSB, CW or
FSK mode, the Tuning control will use 10 Hz per step.
• With the default of 1000 steps, a single rotation of the
Tuning control changes the frequency by 10 kHz.
2 Select Group No. 3, "Basic Configurations", from the
Menu screen.
3 Access Menu 06, "Tuning Control (Main): Number of
Steps per Revolution", or Menu 07, "Tuning Control
(Sub): Number of Steps per Revolution".
4 Press [SELECT] (F4) to allow editing of the parameter
box.
5 Press [-] (F4) or [+] (F5) to select "250 [Step]", "500
[Step]", or "1000 [Step]".
The default is "1000" for both Menus 06 and 07.
6 Press [ ] (F1).
7 Press [MENU] to exit.
