Tx Inhibit; Packet Cluster Tuning; Connection; Receiving Packet Cluster Data - Kenwood TS-890S Instruction Manual

TX Inhibit

This function prevents erroneous transmission. When TX Inhibit is
ON, this transceiver does not carry out transmission even when
[PTT] on the microphone is pressed.
The RX audio also becomes inaudible while [PTT] is pressed.
Inhibit transmission in the following cases.
• When you want to operate the master transceiver unit as a
receive-only unit during operation in the Split Transfer B mode.
Transmission is not carried out even when this is attempted
using the master transceiver. Audio is also not output.
• When you do not wish to transmit signals to the host transceiver
while controlling the transceiver via PC using KNS (KENWOOD
NETWORK COMMAND SYSTEM).
Configure in Menu [6-03] "TX Inhibit"
Setting Value Off (default)/ On
When TX Inhibit is ON, RX audio is muted when the SS
●
terminal signal level of the ACC 2 connector is low. RX
audio is also muted while [PTT] is pressed as the signal
level of the SS terminal becomes low.
When TX Inhibit is ON, tuning cannot be performed by
●
the antenna tuner.
When using this transceiver as a receive-only unit at all
●
times, configure this setting to "On" to prevent erroneous
transmission.

Packet Cluster Tuning

Packet cluster tuning can be performed by connecting TM-
D710(A/E), TM-D710G(A/E), RC-D710, TM-D700(A/E) or TH-
D72(A/E) to this transceiver.

Receiving Packet Cluster Data

Follow the steps below to operate TM-D710(A/E)/RC-D710/TM-
D700(A/E)/TH-D72(A/E).
1 Switch to the APRS or Navitra mode to receive the
DX packet cluster data.
2 Display the DX packet cluster and align the cursor
with the frequency to tune to.
3 Press the corresponding key to output the
frequency value selected in step 2.
The operating frequency (VFO) is configured based on the
packet cluster data received if the frequency is configurable by
this transceiver.
• TM-D710(A/E), TM-D710G(A/E), RC-D710: [TUNE] key
• TM-D700(A/E): [MHz] key
• TH-D72(A/E): [MENU] key
In the VFO mode, the operating frequency (VFO) that is
●
currently in use is configured. In the memory channel
mode, the most recent operating frequency (VFO) is
configured.
Only the RX data sent from TM-D710(A/E)/TM-
●
D710G(A/E)/RC-D710/TM-D700(A/E)/TH-D72(A/E) is
supported.
DX packet cluster data cannot be sent out automatically
●
to this transceiver.
For TM-D700(A/E), version G 2.0 or later is required to
●
use this function.
Production of the TM-D710(A/E), RC-D710 and TM-
●
D700(A/E) have been discontinued.
For more details on the operation information of the DX
●
packet cluster, please search for information available
on other sources.
