Quick Data Transfer - Kenwood TS-2000 Instruction Manual

12 OPERATOR CONVENIENCES

QUICK DATA TRANSFER

This transceiver has the capability to quickly and
conveniently transfer the receive frequency and mode
to another compatible transceiver. Compatible
transceivers include:
• TS-2000(X)
• TS-850S
• TS-690S
• TS-450S
Data Transfer could be useful while contesting. A
spotting station that is searching for new contest
multipliers can quickly transfer a frequency over to
the running (main) station.
SETTING UP
Equipment Needed
In addition to a compatible transceiver, the
following equipment is required:
Transfer to TS-2000(X), TS-570, or TS-870S:
• One cross-wired cable. This cable must have
a 9-pin RS-232C female connector at both
ends.
Transfer to a transceiver other than
TS-2000(X), TS-570, and TS-870S:
• KENWOOD IF-232C interface unit
• One cross-wired cable. This cable must have
a 9-pin RS-232C female connector at one end
and a 25-pin RS-232C female connector at the
other end.
• One straight cable. This cable must have a 6-
pin DIN male connector at both ends.
Connections
For diagrams on how to connect the two
transceivers, see "CONNECTING PERIPHERAL
EQUIPMENT" {page XX}.
Note: If you are using a DSP-100 unit with the transceiver, turn
on the transceiver first, then turn on the DSP-100.
USING QUICK TRANSFER
When connecting with another TS-2000(X), TS-570,
or TS-870S, use the same COM connector baud rate
on each transceiver. If transferring to or from other
KENWOOD transceivers, select 4800 bps and 2 stop
bits. On the TS-2000(X), set the parameter in Menu
No. 56 to 4800 bps.
Note: While transferring data, other functions may work slower.

• TS-870S
• TS-950SDX
Transferring Data
The TS-2000(X) transceiver works as the Master,
sending data to the Slave transceiver.
1 Switch ON the Transfer function of each
transceiver.
• On the TS-2000(X), access Menu No. 52
and select ON. For the compatible
transceiver, refer to the instruction manual
that came with the transceiver.
2 On the Master, while in VFO mode, select an
operating frequency and mode.
3 On the Master, press QUICK MEMO [M.IN].
• When using another TS-2000(X) as the
Slave, "CTRL" appears on the Slave.
• The displayed data is stored in Quick
memory channel 1 on the Master and
transferred to the Slave.
Note: If the Master has RIT switched ON, the offset frequency is
added to the receive frequency to be transferred.
Receiving Data
The TS-2000(X) transceiver works as the Slave,
receiving data from the Master transceiver. The
Slave can receive data using either Quick memory
channel 1 or the VFO.
1 Switch ON the Transfer function of each
transceiver.
• On the TS-2000(X), access Menu No. 52
and select ON. For the compatible
transceiver, refer to the instruction manual
that came with the transceiver.
2 On the Slave, access Menu No. 53 and select
either OFF (QUICK MEMO channel 1) or ON
(the VFO).
• The default is OFF (QUICK MEMO).
3 On the Master, perform the appropriate
operation to send data.
• For the correct method, refer to the
instruction manual that came with the
transceiver.
Note:
If you always use the TS-2000 (X) for receiving only,
activate TX Inhibit function, accessing Menu No. 54 to
avoid unintentional transmission.
When the Slave receives data using the VFO programmed
with a simplex frequency, the received data replaces the
data on both VFOs. On the Slave, both RIT and XIT are
set to OFF.
When the Slave receives data using the VFOs
programmed with split frequencies, the received data
replaces the data only on the TX side of the VFO. On the
Slave, XIT is set to OFF but RIT is not changed.
