SWITCHING POWER ON/OFF
Switch ON the DC power supply, then press and hold
down
[ ]
(POWER) until “HELLO” appears on the
Display. Release
[ ]
(POWER) when you see “HELLO”.
•
After the “HELLO” message, the frequency and
other indicators light. Pressing
[ ]
(POWER) too
long, switches the power OFF. If the TS-870S has
not been used for an extended period, “HELLO” may
not appear immediately.
To switch OFF the transceiver, press
[ ]
(POWER).
•
After the transceiver has been switched ON, it can
then be switched OFF or ON by using only the
power switch on the DC power supply.
ADJUSTING VOLUME
AUDIO FREQUENCY (AF) GAIN
Turn the
AF
gain control clockwise to increase the audio
level and counterclockwise to decrease the level.
<<<#6 (9L) >>>
Note:
The position of the
AF
gain control does not affect the volume
of “beeps” caused by pressing buttons nor the CW
transmit sidetone.
Also, the audio level for Packet operation is independent of the
AF
gain control setting.
RADIO FREQUENCY (RF) GAIN
Usually, set the
RF
gain control maximum clockwise. If
you are having trouble hearing the desired signal due to
excessive atmospheric noise or interference from other
stations, it may help to reduce the
RF
gain.
To do this, take note of the peak S-meter reading of the
desired signal, then turn the
RF
gain control
counterclockwise to match this peak reading with the
illuminated S-meter segments. Signals that are weaker
than the level set with the
RF
gain control will be
attenuated. Reception of the station is easier.
OPERATING BASICS
Furthermore, using a faster AGC setting {page 44} will
help eliminate the blocking affect of the large AGC
voltage that is developed due to a strong adjacent
station.
Depending on the type and gain of your antenna, and
the condition of the band, you may prefer leaving the
RF
gain control turned counterclockwise by some
amount instead of turning it fully clockwise.
ADJUSTING SQUELCH
The purpose of squelch is to silence audio output from
the speaker when no signals are present. Setting the
squelch threshold too high causes the squelch to
remain closed while a weak signal is present. Setting
the threshold too low allows noise to be heard between
transmissions from other stations. Many operators
prefer leaving the squelch control fully counterclockwise
unless operating full-carrier modes such as FM or AM.
Turn the
SQL
control to just eliminate the background
noise when no signal is present, or set and forget at full
counterclockwise rotation.
DUAL DIGITAL VFOs
The A and B VFOs function independently so that
different or the same frequencies can be selected by
each VFO. The following sections explain how to select
a VFO and how to copy frequency data from one VFO
to the other.
SELECTING VFOs ([RX A], [RX B])
Press
[RX A]
to select VFO A. Press
[RX B]
to select
VFO B.
1
Assume that you are presently using VFO A.
2
Press
[RX B]
.
•
VFO B is selected and the frequency currently
selected by VFO B is displayed.
3
Press
[RX A]
to select VFO A again.
