HF/50MHz TRANSCEIVER TS-990S TS-990S H F/ 5 0 M H z TR A NSCEIVER For Real DX’ers
Legend and Innovation
Actual size W18.11x H6.50 x D15.75 in *Projections not included. In the making for more than twenty years, the ultimate Contest / DX experience is here. Kenwood’s longawaited flagship model is equipped with the latest technology that embodies an entirely new HF standard.
1973 TS-900 This all-band SSB transceiver made history with its state-of-the-art technology. 1982 TS-930 The world’s first Ham Radio HF transceiver equipped with a built-in automatic antenna tuner. 1985 TS-940 This HF transceiver offered the high dynamic range that won the struggle through the Cycle 22 pile-up. 1989 TS-950 Another world’s first, this HF transceiver came standard with a built-in DSP. Repeated innovation turns the tradition into a legend.
2013 TS-990 The TS-990S comes equipped with dual receivers for simultaneous reception on different bands, it also features narrow-band roofing filters on the main receiver in a full down-conversion configuration. The TS-990S achieves the highest basic reception performance of any radio in the TS series, through the careful selection of circuits, components and accelerating analysis using triple DSP configuration.
The dual receivers facilitate reception on different bands. The main receiver is the highest quality receiver among the TS-900 series, thanks to its down-conversion configuration, newly developed mixer, and five types of roofing filters. This highest quality transceiver will show its true metal in contests, and fierce pile-ups even with high-intensity signals. The TS-990S will surely satisfy any real DX’er.
Main receiver HF/50MHz TRANSCEIVER TS-990S The transceiver uses the down-conversion method on all amateur bands, and features five types of High-IP roofing filter. Narrow bandpass widths selectable are 500 Hz and 270 Hz for CW operation, 2.7 kHz for SSB and 6 kHz and 15 kHz, which are suitable for AM/FM. These filters are automatically selected in tandem with DSP-based settings. Of course, manual switching is possible as well.
HF/50MHz TRANSCEIVER TS-990S Sub receiver Innovation spurred by digital technology has revolutionized the Kenwood sound. An already legendary Sub-receiver supports dual reception. Even after using narrow bandwidth filters for long periods of time, it is still easy to hear and less tiring to listen to.
HF/50MHz TRANSCEIVER TS-990S Kenwood continues to provide quality sound transmission that is unattainable through analog circuits. By installing the world-premiere DSP in the TS-950 and achieving IF AGC control on the TS-870, our experience has led to the use of three DSP units, one on each major block of the TS-990S. By distributing the signal processing of the main IF, band scope, and sub-IF, we have realized ample digital signal processing power. (FM mode is AF DSP processing.
Transmission unit /cooling HF/50MHz TRANSCEIVER TS-990S Transmitter performance, featuring high-scale specifications, can withstand long periods of operation at full power. Operating stably even when continually working over long periods of time, such as in competitions. Built-in automatic antenna tuner capable of high-speed operation The built-in automatic antenna tuner is a preset type that covers amateur band frequencies ranging from 160m~6m, and is completely operable during receive.
Dual Display HF/50MHz TRANSCEIVER TS-990S Sub band display monitors the target signal itself Fitted with dual TFT displays for an intuitive situational awareness. The combination of two displays, main and sub band, allows you to simultaneously monitor the target signal and the surrounding area with minimal eye movement. The 3.
HF/50MHz TRANSCEIVER TS-990S Comfortable operational performance that you can control at will. The panel layout, familiar to Kenwood users, allows for intuitive operation. It’s sure to win you over, increasing the accuracy of your operations and allowing you to develop greater familiarity with the equipment. Operability The new frequency function can be operated intuitively You can use the frequency function that switches legacy VFO A/VFO B by switching the main and sub band.
Useful functions HF/50MHz TRANSCEIVER TS-990S Conveniently located interference elimination controls of the sub-receiver Useful functions positioned around the main and sub band knob The dedicated sub-receiver has extensive interference elimination capability and is conveniently located to the right side of the main panel. Access the knobs and keys you need without hesitation. Share the use of main and sub band variable encoders by switching the operations object.
