Split Transfer

This function allows frequency information to be transferred by
connecting another transceiver to this transceiver as a sub-
receiver. There are two modes for this function: Split Transfer A
and Split Transfer B.

Split Transfer A

This function transfers information on the TX VFO frequency and
mode during split operation from the transceiver (TX/RX end) to
the transceiver that functions as a sub-receiver. This is a
convenient function for simultaneous dual-frequency reception by
having the sub-receiver receive the split frequencies from the TX/
RX end. The sub-receiver also supports the standby function.

Split Operation
.
The usable transceiver models are TS-890S, TS-590SG and
TS-590S. TS-590S can be used only as a sub-receiver.
Firmware update is needed when TS-590S/ TS-590G is
●
used as a sub-receiver.
The TS-590G series can also be used as a transceiver
●
at the TX/RX end for Split Transfer A. Firmware update
is necessary regardless of whether it is used as a sub-
receiver or a transceiver at the TX/RX end.
Some functions may not be usable during split transfer
●
between the TS-890 series and another transceiver due
to differences in the specifications.
Split Transfer B
This mode is used for connecting another transceiver to this
transceiver as a sub-receiver during two-man operation while
contesting. This is a convenient function that allows the sub-
operator at the sub-receiver end to transfer frequency and mode
information to the main operator at the TX/RX end.
Operating data can be transferred by the following transceiver
models.
• TS-890S
• TS-990S
• TS-590S
• TS-590SG
• TS-480 series
• TS-2000 series
• TS-570 series
• TS-870S
Some functions may not be usable during split transfer

between this transceiver and another transceiver.

Connection

Connect the 2 transceivers to enable transfer of frequency data
and sharing of antenna.
Cables for connection need to be prepared separately
●
by the user.
Connection for Data Transfer:
Connect the COM connector of the 2 transceiver units using a
RS-232C cross cable (female-female).

.
Connection for Antenna Sharing:
Connect the ANT OUT connector at the TX/RX end to the ANT or
RX IN connector at the sub-receiver end using a coaxial cable.
Turn on the ANT OUT function at the TX/RX end. Select the
connected ANT connector at the sub-receiver end or make use of
the RX ANT function.
Split Transfer A
Below is an example of using this transceiver at both the TX/RX
end and sub-receiver end in the standard settings. Before using
the TS-590SG/ TS-590S as a sub-receiver, please read through
the instruction manual and update documents.

Configuration

Using TS-890S at the TX/RX End
1 Enable this transceiver to function as a TX/RX end
transceiver.
Select "A (TX/RX)" in Menu [7-04] "Quick Data Transfer".
2 Configure the baud rate to 115200 bps.
Select "115200 [bps]" in Menu [7-00] "Baud Rate (COM Port)".
3 Set to the VFO mode.
If the transceiver is in the memory channel or quick memory
channel mode, switch it to the VFO mode.
Using TS-890S as a Sub-receiver
1 Enable this transceiver to function as a sub-
receiver.
Select "A (Sub RX)" in Menu [7-04] "Quick Data Transfer".
2 Configure the baud rate to 115200 bps.
Select "115200 [bps]" in Menu [7-00] "Baud Rate (COM Port)".
3 Set to the VFO mode.
If the transceiver is in the memory channel or quick memory
channel mode, switch it to the VFO mode.
4 Set to simplex mode.
This transceiver functions only at the transfer rate of
●
115200 [bps].
It does not function in the memory channel and quick
●
memory channel modes.
This function cannot be used in the split mode.
