Note:
X RIT/XIT turns OFF automatically when entering Emergency
mode.
X The transceiver will not switch to the Emergency channel
if you are using the constant recorder and are either
transmitting, receiving a voice call, or receiving a CW call.

If you have a Kenwood FM transceiver (K type) with a
6 pin mini DIN connector, you can set up the TS-590S
transceiver and the FM transceiver as a crossband
repeater. The FM transceiver will receive signals you
transmit from the additional VHF or UHF transceiver
when both transceivers are set with the same
frequency. The signal is then routed to the
TS-590S transceiver and retransmitted on the
frequency you have set on the TS-590S transceiver.
Likewise, signals received on the TS-590S transceiver
are routed to the FM transceiver and retransmitted
to the transceiver you have with you, allowing you to
hear the received call in a distant location.
To interface between the TS-590S transceiver and
FM transceiver (K type), refer to “CROSSBAND
REPEATER” {page 70}.
Note: For the repeater function to operate, the squelch levels
of both transceivers (TS-590S and FM transceiver) must be
adjusted properly so that no background noise can be heard; the
transmission is controlled by monitoring the squelch status only.

The crossband repeater function uses 2 frequency
bands to receive and transmit signals. When a signal
is received on one band, it is retransmitted on the
other band.
1 Select a transmission/ reception VHF or UHF
frequency on the FM transceiver.
2 Confirm the PTT icon is visible on the crossband
repeater frequency on the FM transceiver.
3 Select the same frequency for the terminal
transceiver.
4 Select a HF/ 50 MHz frequency on the TS-590S
transceiver.
5 Adjust the squelch threshold level so that both the
TS-590S and FM transceivers mute.
6 On the TS-590S, press [MENU], then turn MULTI/
CH control to select Menu Nos. 73 and 74.
7 Press [M.IN] to select “on”.
• When the TS-590S transceiver’s squelch
opens, the
FM transceiver simultaneously
retransmits the incoming audio signal on the
VHF or UHF frequency.
• When the FM transceiver’s squelch opens, the
TS-590S transceiver retransmits the incoming
audio signal on the HF/ 50 MHz frequency.
8 Access Menu Nos. 66 and 67 and press [M.IN]/
[SCAN (SG.SEL)] to adjust the input/ output audio
level.
9 To quit the FM repeater operation, disconnect the
interface cable between the transceivers, then
access Menu Nos. 73 and 74 on the TS-590S
transceiver and select “oFF”.

If you have a TH-D72(A/E)/ TM-D710A/E(A/E)/ RC-
D710/ TM-D700(A/E), you can connect it to the TS-
590S transceiver to use the DX PacketCluster Tune
function. Connect the 2 transceivers with a cross-
wired DB-9 cable as shown on page 70.
1 On the TS-590S, press [MENU], then turn MULTI/
CH control to select Menu No. 61.
2 Press [M.IN]/ [SCAN (SG.SEL)] to select the same
communication baud rate configured on the TH-
D72/ TM-D710/ RC-D710/ TM-D700.
3 Tune to the DX PacketCluster node frequency on
the TH-D72/ TM-D710 RC-D710/ TM-D700.
4 Using [TNC], enter the APRS mode on the
TM-D710/ RC-D710/ TM-D700.
• “APRS” or “TNC APRS” appears on the
TH-D72/ TM-D710/ RC-D710/ TM-D700
display.
5 Using [DX], enter the DX PacketCluster mode on
the TH-D72/ TM-D710/ RC-D710/ TM-D700.
• Every time the DX station’s information is
reported to the DX PacketCluster node, the
TH-D72/ TM-D710/ RC-D710/ TM-D700 stores
and lists the report to the memory.
6 Select a desired DX station data with [V]/ [W] on
the TH-D72/ TM-D710/ RC-D710/ TM-D700.
7 Press [TUNE] on the TM-D710/ RC-D710 or
[MENU] on the TH-D72 or [MHz] on the TM-D700
to transfer the frequency data to the TS-590S
transceiver.
• If the transferred frequency data is available
on the TS-590S transceiver, the frequency
data will be overwritten to the current operating
frequency. Otherwise, the operating frequency
of the TS-590S transceiver remains unchanged.
For more detailed information on the DX
PacketCluster operation of the TH-D72/ TM-D710/
RC-D710/ TM-D700, refer to their respective
instruction manuals.
Note: The firmware of the TM-D700(A/E) transceiver must be
version G2.0 or later to use the DX PacketCluster Tune function.
