Configuring Auto Mode Frequency Points; Adjustment Of Frequencies; Adjustment Using The Tuning Control; Adjustment Using The Microphone Key - Kenwood TS-890S Instruction Manual

Configuring Auto Mode Frequency Points

1 Display the Auto Mode screen.
2 Turn the Tuning control to select a frequency point.
Align the frequency of the selected band with the frequency to
register.
3 Press the Mode key or press and hold down the key
to switch to the mode to which the band is to be
registered.
4 Press F4 [COPY] to copy the frequency and mode.
• The frequency and mode of the selected band is imported
into the list as a new classification.
• To delete a registered classification, press F2 [
[ ] or turn the [MULTI/CH] control to select the row to
delete, followed by pressing F5 [DELETE] to delete the row.
Doing so shifts up the classifications after the deleted row in
the list.
5 Repeat the steps from 2 to 5 to configure the
frequency and mode for all the points.
6 Press F6 [OK].
7 Press [MENU] or [ESC] to end the process.
• When the Auto Mode is turned ON, the mode that is assigned
to the respective channels will be automatically selected. In the
SSB mode, LSB mode will be selected for frequencies below
10.1 MHz, and USB mode will be selected for frequencies that
are 10.1 MHz or higher.
• The table below shows an example when auto mode frequency
is configured to the HF/50/70 MHz band.

Adjustment of Frequencies

The steps to adjust the TX and RX frequencies are described
below.

Adjustment Using the Tuning Control

Turn the Tuning control to increase or decrease the
frequency.

Adjustment Using the Microphone Key

Press the [UP] or [DWN] key on the microphone to
increase or decrease the frequency.

FINE Tuning

The step frequency of the Tuning control can be configured to
one-tenth of the step size. Doing so allows fine-tuning of the
frequency.
Press [FINE].
Pressing [FINE] each time toggles FINE tuning between ON
and OFF.
When fine tuning is set to OFF, the 1 Hz digit frequency
●
display will be grayed out. When in the FM or AM mode,
both the 10 Hz and 1 Hz digits are grayed out. Setting
fine tuning to ON turns off the gray-out display and shows
the frequency in full up to the 1 Hz digit.
Depending on the operating frequency, the 1 Hz digit
●
display may not gray out on the operating frequency
display of the transverter even when fine tuning is set to
OFF.
Configuring the Number of Steps per Revolution of
the Tuning Control
The number of steps per revolution of the Tuning control can be
changed.
Configure in Menu [3-07] "Tuning Control: Number
of Steps per Revolution"
Setting Value 250/ 500/ 1000 (default) [Step]
Configuring the Fast Forward Rate of the Tuning
Control
This function enables the speed of frequency change to increase
by 2 to 10 times with respect to the speed of turning when the
Tuning control is turned at a fast speed.
Configure in Menu [3-08] "Tuning Speed Control"
Setting Value Off (default)/ 2 to 10 (1 step)
Configuring the Sensitivity for Starting the Fast
Forward Operation
Configuring this to a larger value increases the sensitivity for
starting the fast forward operation.
Configure in Menu [3-09] "Tuning Speed Control
Sensitivity"
Setting Value 1 to 5 (default) to 10 (1 step)
