Kenwood TS-B2000 HF RX Antenna, Linear Amplifier Control, Transmitting Dtmf Memory Channel Data

15 OPERATOR CONVENIENCES

4Select a DTMF Memory Channel (0 to 9) using the MULTI/ CH control.

5Press [SUB] to enter the desired memory name. Use [+] or [–]to select the characters. Press [MAIN] or [SUB] to move the cursor left or right while entering the DTMF memory name. You can also use the Mic DTMF keys to enter the characters. Refer to the table on page 63 for the available characters and numbers.

6Press [M.IN] to store the name into memory.

7Select the desired DTMF tone using [+] or [–,]then press [SUB] to move the cursor to the right to enter the next DTMF tone.

8Repeat step 7 until you enter all the desired DTMF tones. You can enter a maximum of 16 DTMF tones for each DTMF Memory Channel.

9Press [M.IN] to store the data into memory.

■Transmitting DTMF Memory Channel Data

To send the DTMF Memory Channel data while you are transmitting:

1Press QUICK MEMO [MR] while you are transmitting.

2The DTMF Memory Channel number and the memory name appear on the main dot-matrix display.

3Turn the MULTI/ CH control to select the DTMF Memory Channel you want to transmit.

4Press QUICK MEMO [MR] to transmit the DTMF tones.

•The DTMF tones are monitored through the speaker while they are transmitted.

■DTMF Tone Time Length

When transmitting a series of DTMF tones, each tone duration is set to the 50 ms (tone)/ 50 ms (mute) format as default. Some repeaters or auto patch controllers may require longer DTMF tones and mutes.

1Press [MENU], then turn the MULTI/ CH control to access Menu No. 45B.

2Press [–]to select SLOW.

3Press [MENU] to exit the Menu mode.

The DTMF tones will now be sent using the 100 ms (tone)/ 100 ms (mute) format.

DTMF Pause Period

In the DTMF Memory, you can enter blanks (pauses) among a series of DTMF tones. The default pause period is set to 500 ms, but you can change this value by accessing Menu No. 45C.

1Press [MENU], then turn the MULTI/ CH control to access Menu No. 45C.

2Press [+] or [–]to select the desired DTMF Pause period (default is 500 ms).

3Press [MENU] to exit the Menu mode.

HF RX ANTENNA

If you have a separate HF antenna (below 30 MHz) only for receiving, connect the antenna coaxial cable to the HF RX ANT connector on the rear panel. This connector is considered to be connected to a beverage antenna or directional loop antenna for low- band operation.

To use the HF RX ANTENNA connector, access Menu No. 18 and select ON. When the HF RX ANTENNA is selected for receiving, “” appears on the display.

LINEAR AMPLIFIER CONTROL

When you connect an external HF linear amplifier to the TS-2000(X) transceiver using the REMOTE connector, select 1 (fast switching/ 10 ms delay) or 2 (slow switching/ 25 ms delay) to activate the internal relay so you can interface with the HF linear amplifier {page 94}.

Some linear amplifiers require a long transmission delay time because of the slow antenna relay switching time. In this case, select 2 for the slow switching.

If you have 50 MHz, 144 MHz, 430 (440) MHz, or

1.2GHz band linear amplifiers, connect the linear amplifier control cable to the EXT.CONT connector for these bands {page 96}.

1Press [MENU], then turn the MULTI/ CH control to select Menu No. 28A (HF), 28B (50 MHz), 28C (144 MHz), 28D (430 (440) MHz), or

28E (1.2 GHz).

2Press [+] or [–]to select OFF, 1, or 2.

•OFF disables the TS-2000(X) relay.

•1 is 10 ms transmission delay.

•2 is 25 ms transmission delay.

Note: If CW full break-in is enabled, 10 ms transmission delay is applied regardless of the Menu No. 28 settings.
