PHONES
JACK
The headphone jack allows use of 4-to-16-ohm (or greater)
headphones.
HS-6,
HS-5,
HS-4
optional
headphones
provide optimum results.
Stereo-type headphones can also
be sued.
This will disable the internal and external speaker.
@
PROC (processor) switch
During
SSB
transmission,
the speech
processor
may
be
used to increase
'talk power'.
VOX
(VOICE OPERATED
TRANSMIT)
SWITCH
This function is used for SSB VOX or CW semi-break-in -
operation.
In the MAN
(manual) position, the transceiver is
keyed by either the standby switch or the microphone
PTT
switch.
For VOX operation, the standy switch remains
in
REC.
(See page 11.)
@
METER
SWITCH
During
transmission,
the meter
switch
determines
meter
function.
The switch selects between:
ALC ................,.
The meter monitors the output of the final
stage
power
amplifier
during
transmis-
sion.
During
SSB
operation,
adjust the
MIC control
so that the meter pointer is
within the ALC zone.
Similarly, adjust the
CAR control for CW operation.
Geared dae
The meter
monitors final stage collector
current.
12~19A is normal, 17A typical.
FIX (fixed channel) SWITCH
The
TS-130SE
has
a
built-in
fixed
channel
oscillator
(crystals are user-provided, optional) which is activated by
the FIX switch for fixed channel or VFO operation.
@
SUBDIAL
The subdial is calibrated from O to 500.
It is driven from the
main
tuning
knob to indicate
the transceiver's
operating
frequency.
MAIN
TUNING
CONTROL
This control is used to select the desired operating frequen-
cy. The scale on the control knob is calibrated at 1 kHz in-
tervals, allowing accurate tuning.
For exact frequency, read
the Digital Display.
RIT INDICATOR
This light emitting diode indicates the RIT circuit is ON.
@
1F SHIFT CONTROL
By using this control, the IF crystal filter center frequency
can be shifted +1 kHz, allowing adjustment of tone quality,
or eliminating
interference from adjacent frequencies.
For normal operation, this control should be set to the center
"0" position (detent).
RIT CONTROL
When the RIT circuit is ON, this will vary receive frequency
by about +1.5 kHz.
When the control is set to the "0"
center position, there is no frequency shift.
@® CAR
(CARRIER
LEVEL) CONTROL
This control is used to adjust the carrier output level and is
effective only during CW operation.
Adjust the control so
the ALC meter indication is within the ALC zone.
For "QRP"
operation, reduce carrier insertion.
@
MIC (MICROPHONE
GAIN) CONTROL
This adjusts mic amplifier gain during SSB operation. Again,
adjust the control so the ALC meter indication is within the
ALC zone.
When this control is set to the CAL ON position, the built-in
calibrator is activated, permitting calibration of the receiver
dial scale at 25 kHz intervals.
AF GAIN (AUDIO
GAIN) CONTROL
This
control
adjusts
the
receiver
audio
amplifier
gain.
Volume
of the received signal increases as the control is
turned clockwise.
RF GAIN CONTROL
This adjusts the receiver section's RF amplifier gain.
Turn
the
contro!
fully
clockwise
for
maximum
gain.
Turn
counterclockwise to reduce the gain.
@
BAND
SWITCH
@)
POWER
SWITCH
This switches the TS-130SE ON and OFF.
@
NB (NOISE BLANKER)
SWITCH
This switch is used to reduce pulsating ignition noises of the
type usually emitted from motor vehicles.
Power-line, QRM
and atmospheric
'white'
noise will not operate the noise
blanker.
@
RF ATT (ATTENUATOR)
SWITCH
@
NAR/WIDE
switch
This switch selects receive IF bandwidths between narrow
and
wide.
The
WIDE
position
provides
the
same
IF
bandwidth for both CW and SSB.
For the NARROW
posi-
tion, optional filters are available for both CW and SSB.
@
RIT SWITCH
This push switch turns the RIT (Receiver Incremental Tun-
ing) circuit ON and OFF.
With the switch depressed, the cir-
cuit is activated and the RIT indicator is illuminated, allowing
the receive frequency to be shifted by about +1.5 kHz in-
dependent of the transmit frequency by using the RIT con-
trol. The RIT circuit is turned OFF when the switch is out.
