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}.
1 Press [MENU/ F.LOCK] and turn the MULTI
control to select Menu No. 48.
2 Press [ ]/ [ ] to select “67”.
3 Press [MENU/ F.LOCK] to store the setting and
exit the Menu mode.
4 Press [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.
5 Press [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 “CONNECTING PERIPHERAL EQUIPMENT”
{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.
1 Turn ON the Transfer function of each transceiver.
•On the TS-480HX/ SAT, access Menu No. 53
and select “on”. For the compatible
transceiver, refer to the instruction manual that
came with the transceiver.
2 On the Master, while in VFO mode, select an
operating frequency and mode.
3 On the Master, press [QMI/ M.IN].
• When using another TS-480HX/ SAT as the
Slave, “PC” 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.
