Other Functions, RIT Function, Example | Kenwood TH-79AKSS specs

∙By pressing the MODE key (0 key), you can change the mode. The modes available are USB and LSB mode. When the MODE key is pressed while in USB mode, the mode is changed to LSB. When the MODE key is pressed while in LSB mode, the mode is changed to USB. This changeover can be confirmed by the Morse beep transmitted from the HF radio.

∙If the MODE key is pressed while in modes other than USB or LSB, the MODE will not be changed.

OTHER FUNCTIONS

nRIT Function

The RIT function controls RIT ON/OFF, RIT frequency UP/DOWN, and RIT CLR. For the meaning of these keys, see KEYPAD FUNCTIONS on page 4.

nVoice Frequency Read-Back

If the HF transceiver is equipped with the (optional) VS-3 voice unit (recommended), you can listen to and confirm the HF transceiver status with the announcement by voice.

EXAMPLE:

∙You can confirm the frequency after a direct frequency entry.

∙You can confirm the contents of a M.CH during memory channel operation.

CMD does not display the frequency, or other status, of the HF transceiver. Thus, the VS-3 installation is very effective, and is highly recommended for comfortable operation.

If the voice read-back is too weak, adjust the VS-3 level control in the HF transceiver (see the HF transceiver instruction manual).

Note: When VFO A and VFO B on the TS-570D(G)/S(G) are switched, the Voice Synthesizer automatically announces the frequency on the newly selected VFO. Sending a Voice command will cause the Voice Synthesizer to stop the announcement.

nBUSY Control Function

∙When using the TS-570D(G)/S(G) system, you can operate the BUSY control with the HF transceiver SQ. The TRP will transmit only when the HF transceiver SQ is opened in the RX ON status. This will allow you to avoid unnecessary TRP transmissions.

∙When using this system, the TRP will continue to transmit on the 144 MHz band according to the RX ON command from the CMD, in spite of the SQ being closed on the HF transceiver.

∙When you direct-enter the HF transceiver frequency from the CMD, the HF radio mode does not change (from 7 MHz to 14 MHz, for example). Change the HF transceiver mode with the MODE key.

∙If you already have favorite frequencies, it is a good idea to input them in memory. This allows for quick frequency change.

∙BUSY Control Function

When you press the RX ON key on the CMD, and the HF transceiver SQ is closed, you will receive only the 144 MHz carrier signal without any voice signal.
