CONNECTING THE TRANSPORTER WITH THE HF TRANSCEIVER

In order to connect the transporter to the HF transceiver, you need to prepare three cables by yourself. For the connection between the COM connectors on the two transceivers, you may use a commercially available RS- 232-C cross-wired cable.

Note:

Switch OFF both the Transporter and HF transceiver before making the connection.

The Transporter automatically transmits its call sign in Morse at regular intervals because of legal requirements; therefore, transmit sidetone must be output from the HF transceiver. On TS-570D or TS-570S, do not select “OFF” in Menu 21. On TS-870S, use the MONI control to adjust the sidetone volume.

When the Transporter is too close to the HF transceiver, unwanted feedback may cause malfunction.

Do not share a regulated power supply between the Transporter and the HF transceiver. Unwanted feedback may cause malfunction.
