Frequency Input History; Frequency Lock; Selecting The Frequency Lock Function Behavior - Kenwood TS-890S Instruction Manual

2 Key in a frequency value using the numeric keypad.
• "-" changes into a numeric value when a numeric key is pressed
and a value can be input starting from the highest-order digit.
• To enter 1.82 MHz, press [0/50], [1/1.8], [8/24] followed by
[2/3.5], and press [ENT] when input is complete.
• To enter a frequency lower than 6 MHz for K type
transceivers, start by keying in a "0".
• To enter a frequency lower than 8 MHz for E type
transceivers, start by keying in a "0".
• Pressing [CLR] halfway through the input process clears the
input and restores the VFO frequency display before the input.
.
• During fine tuning, a frequency up to 59.99999 MHz can be input
(input of 60 MHz is not allowed).
• Pressing [ENT] halfway through the input process fills the
remaining digits with "0" and completes the input.
• When a frequency value out of the TX and RX range is input, an
alarm tone is output and the input value is automatically cleared.
• If the first input value is between 0 and 5, input starts from the
10 MHz digit. If the first input value is between 6 and 9, input
starts from the 1 MHz digit.
• "0" that is entered up to the 10 Hz digit will not appear as "0" in the display.
• Inputting a frequency value automatically switches RIT and XIT
to OFF but does not clear the offset frequency.
• When fine tuning is OFF, the smallest digit for input is the 10 Hz digit
in modes other than AM and FM, and 100 Hz in the AM and FM mode.
• When in the auto mode, the mode switches automatically after
input of frequency is complete.

Frequency Input History

The latest 10 frequency values that were input using the numeric
keypad are stored in the transceiver. To use the same frequency
value, it is possible to retrieve it from the history.
1 Press [ENT] to enable input of a frequency value.
"-" is displayed for all digits of the frequency value.
2 Turn the [MULTI/CH] control to display the history.
• Frequency values that were previously entered and the
record number (E0 to E9) are displayed. The first frequency
value shown is the most recent input.
• Turning the control to the right jumps to the subsequent
record numbers in ascending order. The larger the record
number, the older the record.
.
3 Press [ENT] to configure the selected frequency to
VFO.
When 10 frequency values have been registered, the
●
oldest input in the history will be deleted when another
frequency value is registered.

Frequency Lock

The frequency lock function disables operation of specific keys or
control knobs to prevent the frequency from being altered
accidentally due to erroneous operation of the key or control
knobs.
Press [LOCK] to lock the frequency value.
The [LOCK] LED lights up in orange. Pressing [LOCK] again
while in the locked state cancels the locked state.
The following operations are disabled when frequency lock is
turned on.
• Frequency tuning
• Change of memory channel
• Change of quick memory channel
• Direct input of frequency value
• Registration of memory channel
• Starting program scan or VFO scan
• Starting memory scan or quick memory scan
• Switching between the VFO and memory channel modes
• Frequency band selection
• Memory shift
• Configuring the frequencies for VFO A and VFO B to the
same value
• Switching between VFO A and VFO B
• Mode selection
• Switching to FINE tuning
• CW auto tune
• Quick memory channel mode switch
• Registration of quick memory channel
• Touchscreen tuning
When "Tuning Control Lock" is selected in Menu [3-10],
●
only the Tuning control will be locked.

Selecting the Frequency Lock Function Behavior

It is possible to lock only the Tuning control in the frequency lock
function.
Configure in Menu [3-10] "Lock Function"
Setting Value Frequency Lock (default)/ Tuning Control Lock
Frequency Lock: Locks both
Tuning control and [MULTI/CH] control.
Tuning Control Lock: Locks only the Tuning control.
