14 INSTALLING OPTIONS
SO-3 TCXO
The SO-3 option improves the transceiver frequency
stability to ±0.5 ppm.
1 Remove the CN503 connector and TCXO PCB
screw, as shown below.

2 Remove the TCXO PCB.
3 Insert the SO-3 TCXO.
4 Solder all pins on the reverse side of the PCB.
5 Re-insert the TCXO PCB in the transceiver.
6 Connect the CN503 and tighten the screw.
7 Move the C903 and C904 jumper as shown below.
TC501
Note:
◆ To avoid misplacing the jumper, keep it attached to 1 pin of
C903 or C904.
◆ When removing the SO-3 TCXO, replace the jumper to its
original position.
8 Replace the bottom case (10 screws).

REFERENCE FREQUENCY CALIBRATION
Note: The transceiver is adjusted at the factory prior to
shipping. Do not perform this adjustment unless it is necessary.
1 Set the following on the transceiver:
•
Mode: CW
•
AF control: Center
•
Menu No. 34 (CW RX pitch): 800 Hz
•
SHIFT control: 800 Hz
•
RIT function: OFF
•
Break-in function (VOX): OFF
2 Remove the bottom case (10 screws) from the
transceiver.
3 Tune in a standard frequency station such as
WWV or WWVH at, for example, 10.000.00 MHz or
15.000.00 MHz.
•
Adjust the Tuning control so that the display
reads the exact frequency of the station.
•
You should hear a beat tone of approximately
800 Hz.
•
For 800 Hz:
f
= (f
/15.600 x Δf
af
display
where Δf
is the shift from the 15.6 MHz
reference
reference frequency.
4 Close your CW key. You will hear a transmit
sidetone of approximately 800 Hz.
•
This sidetone produces a double beat tone
when it combines with the received signal.
•
Adjust the AF control to hear the double beat
clearly.
•
For 800 Hz:
f
= 800 Hz ±50 ppm (= 800 ±0.04 Hz)
sidetone
where Δf
is the shift from the 15.6 MHz
reference
reference frequency.
5 TS-590S transceiver without SO-3:
Adjust the trimmer (TC501) to minimize the
frequency difference between the received 800 Hz
tone and the 800 Hz sidetone.
TS-590S transceiver with SO-3:
Adjust the trimmer inside the SO-3 using the
supplied plastic adjustment tool. Minimize the
frequency difference between the received 800 Hz
tone and the 800 Hz sidetone.
