N O T E :
Set the MIC and CAR controls to minimum to prevent acci-
dental transmission before tune-up is completed' The
TS-530 must be operated into 50 ohm - 75 ohm antenna
or dummy load with an SWR less than 2 : 1' Random
length wire antennas or light-bulb dummy loads cannot be
used.
Conventional half-wave dipoles and beam antennas
should only be used at or near their resonant frequency'
Exceeding an SWR of 2'. 1 can damage the output stage
of the transceiver.
Adjust DRIVE control for maximum deflection.

(Preselector) Adjustment
(1) Basic Procedures for Receive Operation
With a suitable antenna and microphone or key connected
to the transceiver, set the controls as shown in Fig' 4-1 '
Turn the POWER switch ON. The meter, dial scale, and
VFO indicator will light, indicating the transceiver is oper-
ating. Advance the AF GAIN control clockwise until some
receiver noise is heard in the speaker. Turn the main tun-
ing dial within the frequency range of the Amateur band
chosen until a signal is heard. Tune the signal for clearest
reception, and then adjust the DRIVE control for maximum
S-meter deflection. (Fig. 4-2l.
(2) WWV RecePtion
Set the band switch to
"10"
and turn the main tuning con-
trol to 1O.O MHz.

This section covers operation of controls and switches to
provide maximum performance from the TS-530'

lf a single tone such as a CW signal is superimposed on
the receive signal, turn the NOTCH ON and adjust the
NOTCH control to eliminate or minimize the beat signal' A
beat of approximately 14OO Hz can be eliminated at the
center position of the control' The NOTCH is effective be-
tween 35O and 260O Hz.
