TX Tune, Quick Data Transfer, Setting UP

13 OPERATOR CONVENIENCES

TX TUNE

The TX Tune function allows you to adjust the antenna length, or tune the linear amplifier while transmitting a continuous CW signal.

To use the TX Tune function, first assign the function to a PF key on the Remote Control panel (or Mic PF keys) {page 64}.

1Press [MENU/ F.LOCK] and turn the MULTI control to select Menu No. 48.

2Press []/ [] to select Ò67Ó.

3Press [MENU/ F.LOCK] to store the setting and exit the Menu mode.

4Press [PF].

¥The transceiver automatically switches to CW mode, and transmits a continuous carrier. The transceiver selects the SWR meter function automatically.

¥While in TX Tune mode, most keys are disabled.

¥The default output power is configured as

10 watts. However, you can adjust the output power using [PWR/ 4/ TX MONI] and the MULTI control if necessary. The transceiver stores the new output power setting when you exit the TX Tune mode.

5Press [PF] again to exit the TX Tune mode.

QUICK DATA TRANSFER

This transceiver has the capability to quickly and conveniently transfer the reception frequency and mode to another compatible transceiver. Compatible transceivers include:

¥	TS-480HX/ SAT	¥	TS-2000
¥	TS-570S/ 570D	¥	TS-870S

Data transfer could be useful while contesting. A spotting station that is searching for new contest multipliers can quickly transfer a frequency over to the running (main) station.

SETTING UP

■Equipment Needed

In addition to a compatible transceiver, the following equipment is required:

Transfer to TS-480HX/ SAT, TS-2000, TS-570, or TS-870S:

¥One cross-wired cable. This cable must have a DB-9 female connector at both ends.

■Connections

For diagrams on how to connect the 2 transceivers, refer to ÒCONNECTING PERIPHERAL EQUIPMENTÓ {page 76}.

USING QUICK TRANSFER

When connecting with another TS-480HX/ SAT, TS-2000, TS-570, or TS-870S, use the same COM connector baud rate on each transceiver.

Note: While transferring data, other functions may work slower.

■Transferring Data

The TS-480HX/ SAT transceiver works as the Master, sending data to the Slave transceiver.

1Turn ON the Transfer function of each transceiver.

¥On the TS-480HX/ SAT, access Menu No. 53 and select ÒonÓ. For the compatible transceiver, refer to the instruction manual that came with the transceiver.

2On the Master, while in VFO mode, select an operating frequency and mode.

3On the Master, press [QMI/ M.IN].

¥When using another TS-480HX/ SAT as the Slave, ÒPCÓ appears on the Slave.

¥The displayed data is stored in Quick Memory channel 0 on the Master and transferred to the Slave.

Note: If the Master has RIT switched ON, the offset frequency is added to the reception frequency to be transferred.

■Receiving Data

The TS-480HX/ SAT transceiver works as the Slave, receiving data from the Master transceiver. The Slave can receive data using either Quick Memory channel 0 or the VFO.
