Note:

XAssigned key functions may not work, depending on the setting.

X[AGC SEL] can be used in modes other than FM mode, and can set a step level of the chosen AGC time constant (FAST/ SLOW).

X[TONE SEL] can also be used in FM mode while TONE or CTCSS is ON,

Use Menu No. 31 to change the receiver frequency responses of the target signal. You can select one from 8 different receiver profiles including the default flat response. Selecting any of the following items

from the Menu causes “” to appear on the display.

•Off (oFF):

Slightly attenuates (1 kHz or higher audio frequencies).

•High boost 1 (hb1):

Emphasizes higher audio frequencies.

•High boost 2 (hb2):

Emphasizes higher audio frequencies but lower audio frequency attenuation is less than High boost1 (hb1).

•Formant pass (FP):

Improves clarity by suppressing audio frequencies outside the normal voice frequency range.

•Bass boost 1 (bb1):

Emphasizes lower audio frequencies.

•Bass boost 2 (bb2):

Emphasizes lower audio frequencies but higher audio frequency attenuation is less than Bass boost1 (bb1).

•Flat (FLAT):

The flat frequency response.

•User (U):

Reserved for the ARCP software. Off is programmed at the factory as a default.

RX monitor temporarily disables the squelch function to monitor the current frequency activities.

To use the RX Monitor function, first assign the function to a PF key (either on the front panel or the microphone).

1Press [MENU], then press [Q-M.IN]/ [Q-MR]or turn the MULTI/CH control to select Menu No. 79 ~ 86.

2Press [M.IN]/ [SCAN (SG.SEL)] to select “203”.

3Press [MENU] to exit Menu mode.

4Press the assigned [PF] key.

• While pressing [PF], the speaker unmutes.

The Time-out Timer limits the time of each transmission. It is also useful to prevent a long accidental transmission.

1Press [MENU], then press [Q-M.IN]/ [Q-MR]or turn the MULTI/CH control to access Menu No. 49.

2Press [M.IN]/ [SCAN (SG.SEL)] to select “oFF”, “3”, “5”, “10”, “20”, or “30” minutes.

3Press [MENU] to exit Menu mode.

If you have a transverter that converts the TS-590S operating frequencies to other frequencies, you can use this TS-590S transceiver as a transverter exciter. Consult the instruction manual that came with the transverter for interfacing to the TS-590S transceiver.

1Connect the transverter to the ANT 1, ANT 2, RX ANT, or DRV connector of the TS-590S.

2Select the exciter operating frequency on the transceiver.

•The transverter will use this frequency as the reference for converting frequencies.

3Press [MENU], then press [Q-M.IN]/ [Q-MR]or turn the MULTI/CH control to access Menu No. 50.

4Press [M.IN]/ [SCAN (SG.SEL)] to select “1”.

•The output power is automatically set to the lowest power for that frequency (default). Refer to “TX POWER” {below}.

5Press [MENU] to exit Menu mode.

6Press [ENT], then set the target converting frequency using the numeric keys.

7Press [ENT] to complete the entry.

•The transceiver displays the target transverter frequency instead of the actual operating frequency.
