Mechanical Dial Display

Fully utilizing the TFT display features in the TS‑990S, the mechanical dial, imitating a classical mechanical main dial,

can be displayed. There are two types of mechanical dials available on the TS‑990S, the "R‑820/TS‑820 type" and the

"TS‑520 type". Both are redesigned and modernized from the originals.

Split operation and dual band reception are complicated in the TS‑950 series transceivers. On the TS‑990S, these

operations are simplified, and enable the intuitive operations using the main band and sub band. Basically, for simplex

operation, the main band is used for transmission, and for split operation, the sub band is used for transmission.

Dual band reception can be toggled between active and inactive with use of the [RX] (sub) key above the Tuning (main)

knob, and the simplex operation and split operation can be switched by using the [TX] (main) key and the [TX] (sub) key.

Using the new split transmit frequency setting, you can quickly respond in a pileup.

When the transmit frequency responding to the target station (receive frequency) is determined, press and hold the [TX]

(sub) key. The "SPLIT" LED blinks, and the ten‑key LEDs will light. If you wish to "Up 5 kHz", press the [5] key on the ten‑

key. This is the only configurable operation.

Additionally, the ΔF value display, which is reputed on the TS‑950 series, appears on the sub screen.
