Usb Connector (Usb-A) - Kenwood TS-990S In-Depth Manual

USB Connector (USB-A)

The USB‑A (female) connector (on the front panel) can be connected to a commercially available USB flash drive or
USB keyboard.
● Example of using a USB flash drive
Through the connector, settings configured and voice data created on the TS‑990S can be copied to a USB flash drive,
and firmware and files can be loaded into the TS‑990S. In addition, screens captured on the main display and sub
display can be stored in a USB flash drive.
• When it is troublesome to execute "Safe Removal of USB Flash Drive" in the USB flash drive menu, assign "Safe Removal of USB
Flash Drive" to a PF key for easy removal of a USB flash drive from the USB connector. With this assignment, pressing the PF key
executes "Safe Removal of USB Flash Drive" and the USB flash drive can be safely and quickly removed.
● Example of using a USB keyboard
Connecting a USB keyboard to the USB connector makes operations on the TS‑990S easier. For example, the following
operations:
• Send voice messages recorded and stored as fixed phrases and/or CW messages with a press of a function key on the keyboard.
• Send registered fixed phrases from the FSK Encode/Decode screen or PSK Encode/Decode screen with a press of a function
key on the keyboard.
• Edit or register text strings to be entered.
• Scroll text strings on the FSK Encode/Decode screen or PSK Encode/Decode screen by pressing the [Page Up] key and
[Page Down] key on the keyboard.
• Save the contents of the main display and the sub display to a USB flash drive (PNG format) by pressing the [Print Screen] key
on the USB keyboard if a USB flash drive is plugged into the USB connector.
