If you want to reverse the output:
1 Press [MENU], then turn the MULTI/ CH control to
access Menu No. 17.
2 Press [+] to select ON.
3 Press [MENU] to store the setting and exit Menu
mode.
The output is now reversed. The signals from the
main transceiver are output from the internal speaker
and the signals from the sub-receiver are output from
the external speaker.
S-METER SQUELCH
The S-meter Squelch function opens the squelch only
when the receiving signal has the same or greater
strength than the S-meter Squelch setting. This
function helps you to not open the squelch when
receiving weak signals that you do not want to hear.
1 Press [MENU], then turn the MULTI/ CH control to
access Menu No. 19A.
2 Press [+] to select ON.
3 Turn the MAIN SQL control and/or the SUB SQL
control to adjust the S-meter Squelch threshold
level. When you turn SQL control, the indicators
on the S-meter move accordingly.
4 Press [MENU] to store the settings and exit the
Menu mode.
Note: The squelch threshold level of the S-meter squelch (both
MAIN and SUB SQL) is around the 9 o’clock position for FM (both
MAIN and SUB SQL) , the 11 o’clock position for other modes
(MAIN SQL), and the 9 o’clock position for AM (SUB SQL),
regardless of the SQL controls position.
Squelch Hang Time
You can adjust the squelch hang time to
continuously monitor unstable signals. When the
signal is temporarily weaker than the S-meter
Squelch threshold level, the squelch does not
mute the signal for a short period of time. In this
way, you can continuously monitor the unstable
signal.
1 Press [MENU], then turn the MULTI/ CH
control to access Menu No. 19B.
2 Press [+] or [–] to select OFF, 125 ms, 250 ms,
or 500 ms.
3 Press [MENU] to store the settings and exit the
Menu mode.
RX DSP EQUALIZER
■ EQUALIZING RECEIVING AUDIO (SSB/FM/AM)
Use Menu No. 20 to change the receiver
frequency responses of the target signal. You can
select one from six different receiver profiles
including the default flat response. Selecting any
of the following items from the Menu causes
“EQ R” to appear on the display.
• Off:
The default frequency response for SSB, FM,
and AM.
• High boost:
Emphasizes higher audio frequencies; effective
for a bassy voice.
• Formant pass:
Improves clarity by suppressing audio
frequencies outside the normal voice frequency
range.
• Bass boost:
Emphasizes lower audio frequencies; effective
for a voice with more high frequency
components.
• Conventional:
Emphasizes by 3 dB frequencies at 600 Hz
and higher.
• User:
Reserved for future use. Off is programmed at
the factory as a default.
SEPERATE SPEAKER OUTPUT
The TS-2000 has 2 independent receivers and is
capable of receving 2 different frequencies at the
same time. If no external speaker is connected to the
TS-2000, both audio signals are mixed internally, then
output through the internal speaker. If you are using
at least one external speaker, you can configure the
transceiver to make a seperate output for each
receiver.
1 Connect the external speaker to the EXT.SP2 jack
on the rear panel {page 2}.
2 Press [MENU], then turn the MULTI/ CH control to
access Menu No. 16.
3 Press [+] or [–] to select 1.
4 Press [MENU] to store the setting and exit Menu
mode.
The signals from the main transceiver are now output
from the external speaker and the signals from the
sub-receiver are output from the internal speaker.
If you want the transceiver to mix 1/4 of each output
to the other output, select 1 in step 2. Depending on
the external speaker location, this setting may be
comfortable to lisen to both signals.
Note: Connecting an external speaker to the EXT.SP1 jack simply
replaces the internal speaker output with EXT.SP1.
