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.

1 Connect the transverter to the ANT 1, ANT 2, RX
ANT, or DRV connector of the TS-590S.
2 Select the exciter operating frequency on the
transceiver.
• The transverter will use this frequency as the
reference for converting frequencies.
3 Press [MENU], then press [Q-M.IN]/ [Q-MR] or
turn the MULTI/CH control to access Menu No. 50.
4 Press [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}.
5 Press [MENU] to exit Menu mode.
6 Press [ENT], then set the target converting
frequency using the numeric keys.
7 Press [ENT] to complete the entry.
• The transceiver displays the target transverter
frequency instead of the actual operating
frequency.

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.
