The SO-3 option improves the transceiver frequency
stability to ±0.5 ppm.
1 Remove the CN503 connector and TCXO PCB
screw, as shown below.

2 Remove the TCXO PCB.
3 Insert the SO-3 TCXO.
4 Solder all pins on the reverse side of the PCB.
5 Re-insert the TCXO PCB in the transceiver.
6 Connect the CN503 and tighten the screw.
7 Move the C903 and C904 jumper as shown below.

Note:
X To avoid misplacing the jumper, keep it attached to 1 pin of
C903 or C904.
X When removing the SO-3 TCXO, replace the jumper to its
original position.
8 Replace the bottom case (10 screws).

Note: The transceiver is adjusted at the factory prior to
shipping. Do not perform this adjustment unless it is necessary.
1 Set the following on the transceiver:
Mode: CW
AF control: Center
Menu No. 34 (CW RX pitch): 800 Hz
SHIFT control: 800 Hz
RIT function: OFF
Break-in function (VOX): OFF
2 Remove the bottom case (10 screws) from the
transceiver.
3 Tune in a standard frequency station such as
WWV or WWVH at, for example, 10.000.00 MHz or
15.000.00 MHz.
Adjust the
Tuning control so that the display
reads the exact frequency of the station.
You should hear a beat tone of approximately
800 Hz.
For 800 Hz:
f
af
= (f
display
/15.600 x $f
reference
) + 800 Hz
where $f
reference
is the shift from the 15.6 MHz
reference frequency.
4 Close your CW key. You will hear a transmit
sidetone of approximately 800 Hz.
This sidetone produces a double beat tone
when it combines with the received signal.
Adjust the
AF control to hear the double beat
clearly.
For 800 Hz:
f
sidetone
= 800 Hz ±50 ppm (= 800 ±0.04 Hz)
where $f
reference
is the shift from the 15.6 MHz
reference frequency.
5 TS-590S transceiver without SO-3:
Adjust the trimmer (TC501) to minimize the
frequency difference between the received 800 Hz
tone and the 800 Hz sidetone.
TS-590S transceiver with SO-3:
Adjust the trimmer inside the SO-3 using the
supplied plastic adjustment tool. Minimize the
frequency difference between the received 800 Hz
tone and the 800 Hz sidetone.
