Perform trial and error to output the TS-890S signal at the same level to both the left and right sides. Next, by
outputting the audio signal of the TS-590G to only the left or right side, it will be possible to distinguish the sound of
the TS-890S and that of the TS-590G clearly when listening to the TX frequency during split operation.

By assigning the function for muting the audio output of the TS-590G to the PF button on the TS-890S, the audio
signal of the TS-590G can be muted simply by pressing this button even when simultaneous dual-band reception is
in progress.
When transmission starts, the TS-590 automatically switches to the standby state based on information transmitted
from the TS-890S. In this case, TX audio from the TS-590 will not be audible and the S-meter will not deflect.
The TS-890S and TS-590 combination offers the best user experience for simultaneous dual-band reception. In the
past, the simultaneous dual-band reception function have been used on many models, and the level of allowance
or certainty is exceptionally high when operating the TS-890S. One of the advantages of using two separate
transceivers is that the actions can be easily monitored during operation.
If a transceiver with a simultaneous dual-band reception feature is used at all times for simultaneous reception,
users may have more allowance once they become more familiar with the operation. However, if the transceiver is
employed for simplex operation most of the time, it will be a hassle to perform precautionary checks when switching
to simultaneous dual-band reception. Taking this point into account, it is a great advantage to be able to enter split
operation while receiving signals on the sub-receiver with ease since there are separate rigs.
This is a lavish setup, but for users who already have a TS-590 and would like to enjoy smooth simultaneous dual-
band reception with the TS-890S, then there is no need to let go of their current TS-590 unit. For users who do not
have the TS-590 (not necessary to have the TS-590G), there are ways to look for one at an affordable price.
