Transversed Dials In Swl Mode - Kenwood TS-990S In-Depth Manual

07 SOFTWARE
The illustration above shows an example of the TX input audio source if "DATA1" is specified for DATA mode. In this
configuration, the audio signal entered from the MIC terminal is transmitted by pressing the [SEND] key or the [PTT]
key, or the audio signal entered from the USB Audio device is transmitted by pressing the [DATA SEND] (PF) key or by
shorting the PKS terminal.
To activate the VOX (DATA VOX) function by using the audio signal entered from a connector on the rear panel, press the
[D.VOX] key to select the sound source for DATA VOX. In the example above, "USB Audio" is selected.
As an example of the operation, there may be a case when you need to explain to the receiving station about the image
after transmitting an image using SSTV. With the configurations as described above, the image signal entered from the
USB Audio device can be transmitted by using the DATA VOX function. Upon completion of the image transmission,
press and hold the [PTT] key to speak into the microphone to transmit your explanation about the image.

Transversed Dials in SWL Mode

In SWL mode, transversed dials, the horizontal scales, and an S‑meter resembling those on the 9R‑59, which has a well
reputed history as well as the TS‑900 series, can be displayed for reception of short wave broadcasting.
The receivable frequency range of the TS‑990S is different from that of the 9R‑59. Thus, the scales of the transversed
dials and S‑meter are refined to match the receive frequency range of the TS‑990S. The "band spread scale", which was
implemented on the 9R‑59, is not applied here; however, the elaborately reproduced vertical S‑meter, "MEGACYCLE"
notations, and transversed dials and meters of the 9R‑59 will evoke memories of transceivers from those days.
