OPERATOR CONVENIENCES

MICROPROCESSOR RESET

If your transceiver seems to be malfunctioning,
initializing the microprocessor and its memory may
resolve the problem.

INITIAL SETTINGS

These are the factory default settings for each VFO and
the memory channels:
Frequency
Method of Frequency
Selection
VFO A
14.000.00
VFO B
14.000.00
Memory Channels
(00 ~ 99)

PARTIAL RESET

Do a partial reset if a button or control does not function
according to the instructions in this manual. The
following are not erased by a Partial Reset:
Memory channel data
Menu settings
Antenna tuner preset data
ANT1/ANT2 data
Automatic Mode frequency ranges
Electronic keyer settings
Press [RX A]+[ ] to do a Partial Reset. "HELLO"
appears on the Display.

FULL RESET

Do a Full Reset if you want to erase all data in all
memory channels and reset all parameters to factory
defaults. After a Full Reset, you must re-enter memory
channel data if you want to use those channels. On the
other hand, a Full Reset is a quick way to return all
transceiver parameters back to their factory settings
(including all electronic keyer settings).
Press [A=B]+[ ] to do a Full Reset.
"HELLO" appears on the Display and all parameters
are reset.

SWITCHING ANT 1/ ANT 2

The antenna that you use for transmission/reception
with the TS-870S can be selected via the [ANT] button
on the Front Panel. There are two choices: ANT 1 and
ANT 2. ANT 1 selects the antenna connected to the
ANT 1 connector on the Rear Panel; ANT 2 selects the
ANT 2 connector. Selecting one of the antenna
positions will automatically store that selection for that
band. Each time you select the same band in the
future, the same antenna will be selected.

Note:
The lower limit is inside the band in each case; the higher
limit is inside the next higher band. For example, 14.1 MHz is in
Band 12 whereas 14.49 MHz is in Band 13 (exception: 30 MHz is in
Band 18).
Connect an AT-300 external antenna tuner only to the
ANT 1 connector. After connecting this tuner correctly,
the internal tuner will always be bypassed when ANT 1
is selected.

PROGRAMMABLE FUNCTION BUTTONS

The Programmable Function provides a method for
customizing the functions of four Front Panel buttons
handily located around the Tuning control. If your
operating habits or activities change, you can also
easily change the functions that you assign.
This function gives you the capability to assign any of
the functions from Menu Nos. 00 ~ 68 to certain buttons
on the Front Panel. The programmable buttons are
labeled ENTER, TF-SET, 1MHz, and FINE. Or you can
assign functions (Nos. 69 ~ 73) to these buttons. If you
want to keep the Front Panel as simple as possible, you
can assign OFF to each button in which case the
buttons will have no function.
Although the four buttons are automatically assigned
with the labeled functions by default, you may prefer to
re-assign these buttons, for example, with four of the
DSP functions (Menu Nos. 13 ~18). This would allow
you to experiment and learn how the different DSP
settings affect received signals. Or, you could assign
some of the AGC functions (Menu Nos. 01 ~ 07). Then
you could make quick AGC changes, and choose the
optimum settings to best match receive conditions.
There is a great deal of flexibility available with this
function. Think about your operating priorities, then
start assigning.
