TIME-OUT TIMER
The Time-out Timer limits the time of each
transmission. It is also useful to prevent a long
accidental transmission.
1 Press [MENU], then turn the MULTI/ CH control to
access Menu No. 24.
2 Press [+] or [–] to select OFF, 3 minutes, 5
minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, or 30 minutes.
3 Press [MENU] to store the settings and exit the
Menu mode.
TNC
This transceiver has a built-in TNC that is usually
used for the Packet Cluster Tune {page 53} or
SkyCommand II+ operations {page XX}. However,
you can also utilize the built-in TNC as a high speed
(9600 bps) or normal (1200 bps) TNC that is
controlled by a external PC or dumb terminal
{page 49}.
If you desire, you can connect an external TNC or
proprietary TNC to ACC2 connector. To interface an
external TNC with TS-2000(X), refer to the ACC2
connector information {page XX} and accessing Menu
No. 50B ~ 50F then configure and adjust the Menu
parameters to work with the external TNC.
Note: You do not have to disable the built-in TNC to interface with
an external TNC. Both the main transceiver and sub-receiver can
work independently unless the transceiver is transmitting on the
same band.
TRANSVERTER
If you have a transverter that converts the TS-2000
operating frequencies to other frequencies, you can
use this TS-2000 transceiver as a transverter exciter.
Consult the instruction manual that came with the
transverter for interfacing to the TS-2000.
1 Connect the transverter to the ANT 1, ANT 2,
ANT 144, ANT 430, or ANT 1.2G (optional)
connector on the rear of the transceiver.
2 Select the exciter operating frequency on the main
transceiver of the TS-2000.
• The transverter will use this frequency as the
reference for converting frequencies.
3 Access Menu No. 25, and select ON by pressing
[+].
• The output power is automatically set to the
lowest power for that frequency.
4 Press [MENU] to store the setting and exit the
Menu mode.
5 Press [ENT], then set the target converting
frequency, using the numeric keys.
6 Press [ENT] to complete the entry.
7 The transceiver displays the target transverter
frequency instead of the actual operating
frequency.
12 OPERATOR CONVENIENCES
Note:
When using a transverter, not all the functions of this
transceiver are available.
When using the optional VS-3 unit, the selected frequencies
are not announced.
TX MONITOR
TX monitor allows you to monitor the on-going
transmission sound. This is convenient when you
want to check the modulation sound quality of the
transmission. In FSK mode, you can monitor the FSK
signal that the TS-2000 is transmitting.
1 Press [FUNC], [PWR/ TX MONI].
2 Current TX monitor setting appears.
3 Turn the MULTI/ CH control to select the monitor
sound level from OFF, and 1 to 9.
4 Press [CLR] to store the selected TX monitor
level.
Note:
We recommend you use headphones when you monitor SSB,
AM, or FM mode, in order to avoid the haulings.
The CW transmission signal cannot be monitored using the TX
monitor function. Use the CW sidetone function to monitor CW
transmissions (Menu No. 13 and 31).
