Connection To The Linear Amplifier; Connection To The Tl-922; Connecting A Typical Linear Amplifier - Kenwood TS-590SG Instruction Manual

CONNECTION TO THE LINEAR AMPLIFIER

You can connect a linear amplifi er to the REMOTE connector.
Prior to activating the linear amplifi er, ensure that you have confi gured the linear amplifi er controls {page 55}. The
response time from when the transceiver changes from receive to transmit and when transmission begins, is 10 ms.
In operation other than CW Full Break-in, changing the menu confi guration extends the response time to 25 ms (45
ms for SSB, FM and AM modes).
Note: TL-922 has been discontinued and is no longer available.

TS-590SG
CONTROL RELAY
Allocate pin number 2 (COM) in the REMOTE connector to connect to the GND of the
TL-922, and pin number 4 (MKE) to the RL CONT of the TL-922. Additionally, connect pin
number 6 (ALC) to the ALC OUT of the TL-922. Confi gure Menu No. 59 (HF) to "3".

CONNECTING A TYPICAL LINEAR AMPLIFIER

To connect a commercially available linear amplifi er to the transceiver, follow the instructions given in the illustration
below.
Note:
◆ Use a linear amplifi er that has an ALC output level in the range of -7 V to -10 V.
◆ Refer to the instruction manual supplied with the linear amplifi er for connection to the linear amplifi er.
