Operability Improvements for Split Operation

Split Frequency Configuration By Using the Numeric Keypad

Split operation can easily be configured by using the numeric keypad. For example, to raise by 2 kHz, pressing the
numeric key "2" after a long press of the [SPLIT] key completes the configuration. With this configuration method, the
split frequency can be configured in the range of ±9 kHz (in steps of 1 kHz). In addition, the numeric keypad is also used
as the band direct key. Numbers are indicated above keys for the ten-key behaviors.

Band Direct Key Configuration for Split

The TS-890S allows you to switch the band or band memory while retaining the split state when switching the band or
band memory by pressing the band direct key during split operation. The configuration is convenient when pursuing a
DX-pedition for multi-band/-mode operation because a split frequency and mode can be individually configured to each
band memory of each band*. (*The default is 3 band memories of each band. The number of band memories can be
increased to 5 by using the menu.)
To execute this behavior, select "RX/TX Band" in Menu 3-13 "Band Direct Keys in Split Mode".

Split Frequency Change By Using the RIT/XIT Knob

To change the split frequency during split operation, in addition to the method of operating the tuning knob while TF-SET
is being executed, the change can now be made by operating the [RIT/XIT] knob if RIT/XIT is not being used.
To enable the changing of the split frequency by using the [RIT/XIT] knob, configure Menu 3-12 "Split Frequency Offset
by RIT/XIT Control".
