TIME-OUT TIMER
The Time-out Timer limits the time of each
transmission. It is also useful to prevent a long
accidental transmission.
1 Press [MENU], then turn the MULTI/ CH control to
access Menu No. 24.
2 Press [+] or [–] to select OFF, 3 minutes, 5
minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, or 30 minutes.
3 Press [MENU] to store the settings and exit the
Menu mode.
TNC
This transceiver has a built-in TNC that is usually
used for the Packet Cluster Tune {page 53} or
SkyCommand II+ operations {page XX}. However,
you can also utilize the built-in TNC as a high speed
(9600 bps) or normal (1200 bps) TNC that is
controlled by a external PC or dumb terminal
{page 49}.
If you desire, you can connect an external TNC or
proprietary TNC to ACC2 connector. To interface an
external TNC with TS-2000(X), refer to the ACC2
connector information {page XX} and accessing Menu
No. 50B ~ 50F then configure and adjust the Menu
parameters to work with the external TNC.
Note: You do not have to disable the built-in TNC to interface with
an external TNC. Both the main transceiver and sub-receiver can
work independently unless the transceiver is transmitting on the
same band.
TRANSVERTER
If you have a transverter that converts the TS-2000
operating frequencies to other frequencies, you can
use this TS-2000 transceiver as a transverter exciter.
Consult the instruction manual that came with the
transverter for interfacing to the TS-2000.
1 Connect the transverter to the ANT 1, ANT 2,
ANT 144, ANT 430, or ANT 1.2G (optional)
connector on the rear of the transceiver.
2 Select the exciter operating frequency on the main
transceiver of the TS-2000.
• The transverter will use this frequency as the
reference for converting frequencies.
3 Access Menu No. 25, and select ON by pressing
[+].
• The output power is automatically set to the
lowest power for that frequency.
4 Press [MENU] to store the setting and exit the
Menu mode.
5 Press [ENT], then set the target converting
frequency, using the numeric keys.
6 Press [ENT] to complete the entry.
7 The transceiver displays the target transverter
frequency instead of the actual operating
frequency.
Note:
◆
When using a transverter, not all the functions of this
transceiver are available.
◆
When using the optional VS-3 unit, the selected frequencies
are not announced.
TX MONITOR
TX monitor allows you to monitor the on-going
transmission sound. This is convenient when you
want to check the modulation sound quality of the
transmission. In FSK mode, you can monitor the FSK
signal that the TS-2000 is transmitting.
1 Press [FUNC], [PWR/ TX MONI].
2 Current TX monitor setting appears.
3 Turn the MULTI/ CH control to select the monitor
sound level from OFF, and 1 to 9.
4 Press [CLR] to store the selected TX monitor
level.
Note:
◆
We recommend you use headphones when you monitor SSB,
AM, or FM mode, in order to avoid the haulings.
◆
The CW transmission signal cannot be monitored using the TX
monitor function. Use the CW sidetone function to monitor CW
transmissions (Menu No. 13 and 31).
