18OPERATING BASICSSWITCHING POWER ON/OFF1 Switch the DC power supply ON.2 Press and hold [ ] (POWER) briefly to switchthe transceiver ON.• Do not press the switch for more thanapproximately 2 seconds; the transceiver willbe switched OFF.• Upon power up, “HELLO” appears, followed bythe selected frequency and other indicators.PFF LOCK ASEND ATANT1/2PROCLEVELVOXATT PRELEVELPFF LOCK A1CH1/REC2CH2/REC3CH3/REC4TONE/SEL5METER6CTCSS/SEL7NB/LEVEL8AGC/OFF9FINE/STEP.DCS/SEL0SHIFT/OFFSETENTSENDPHONESMICATANT1/2PROCLEVELVOXATT PRELEVELLEVELLEVELMANUALLO/WIDTHHI/SHIFTN.R.A.N.B.C.FUNCCLRMAINAUTOCARTX MONIDELAY NARREVMICPWRKEYLSBUSBCWFSKFMAMDISPSEL1MHz CTRLMENMHF/VHE/UHF ALL MO3 To switch the transceiver OFF, press [ ](POWER) again.4 Switch the DC power supply OFF.• You may skip step 3. After switching thetransceiver ON, you can switch it OFF or ONusing only the power switch of the DC powersupply. The transceiver stores the informationof the POWER switch position when the DCpower source is switched OFF.ADJUSTING VOLUMEAUDIO FREQUENCY (AF) GAINTurn the MAIN AF control clockwise to increase theaudio level and counterclockwise to decrease thelevel.MAINCALLC.INUTOSBSBSUBSEL1MHz CTRLMRM VFOMG.SELM.INM.INQUICK MEMOSATLA/BM/S REVTRACEMAINMANUALRFAFSQLSUBCHMULTIBC MAINGAINVFO/CHVFO/M A=BSPLITMENU TF-SETMAIN SUBSG.SELSCANRITCW TUNE 9.6k STARIT/SUBCONXITALTSETCLEARP.C.T_ +HF/VHE/UHF ALL MODE MULTI BANDER TS-2000AFSQLNote:uThe position of the MAIN AF control does not affect the volumeof beeps caused by pressing keys nor the CW transmit sidetone.The audio level for Packet operation is also independent of theMAIN AF control setting.uWhen the optional RC-2000 is installed, you can control thevolume with the AF controls on both the transceiver and theRC-2000. However, when turning the transceiver on, the volumesettings of the RC-2000 have priority.RADIO FREQUENCY (RF) GAINSet the MAIN RF GAIN control fully clockwise. Youmay turn it counterclockwise slightly when you havetrouble hearing the desired signal because ofexcessive atmospheric noise or interference fromother stations. First take note of the peak S-meterreading of the desired signal. Then turn the MAIN RFGAIN control counterclockwise until the S-meterreads the peak value that you noted. Signals that areweaker than this level will be attenuated andreception of the station will become easier.MANUALRFBC MAINGAINCALLC.INUTOSBSBSUBSEL1MHz CTRLMRM VFOMG.SELM.INM.INQUICK MEMOSATLA/BM/S REVTRACEMAINMANUALRFAFSQLSUBCHMULTIBC MAINGAINVFO/CHVFO/M A=BSPLITMENU TF-SETMAIN SUBSG.SELSCANRITCW TUNE 9.6k STARIT/SUBCONXITALTSETCLEARP.C.T_ +HF/VHE/UHF ALL MODE MULTI BANDER TS-2000Depending on the type and gain of your antenna, andthe condition of the band, you may also prefer leavingthe MAIN RF GAIN control turned counterclockwiseby the same amount rather than turning it fullyclockwise. When using FM mode, always set theMAIN RF GAIN control fully clockwise.SELECTING VFO A OR VFO B2 VFOs are available for controlling the frequency onthe main transceiver. Each VFO, VFO A and VFO B,works independently so that a different frequency andmode can be selected. When SPLIT operation isactivated, VFO A is used for reception and VFO B isused for transmission. The opposite combination isalso possible.Press [A/B] to toggle between VFO A and VFO B.• “tA” or “tB” appears to indicate which VFO isselected.SATLA/BM/S REVTRACEVFO/CHVFO/M A=BSPLITCALLC.INUTOSBSBSUBSEL1MHz CTRLMRM VFOMG.SELM.INM.INQUICK MEMOSATLA/BM/S REVTRACEMAINMANUALRFAFSQLSUBCHMULTIBC MAINGAINVFO/CHVFO/M A=BSPLITMENU TF-SETMAIN SUBSG.SELSCANRITCW TUNE 9.6k STARIT/SUBCONXITALTSETCLEARP.C.T_ +HF/VHE/UHF ALL MODE MULTI BANDER TS-2000SELECTING A BANDPress [+] or [–] to select your desired band.• Holding down either key changes the bandscontinuously.MAIN SUBCALLC.INUTOSBSBSUBSEL1MHz CTRLMRM VFOMG.SELM.INM.INQUICK MEMOSATLA/BM/S REVTRACEMAINMANUALRFAFSQLSUBCHMULTIBC MAINGAINVFO/CHVFO/M A=BSPLITMENU TF-SETMAIN SUBSG.SELSCANRITCW TUNE 9.6k STARIT/SUBCONXITALTSETCLEARP.C.T_ +HF/VHE/UHF ALL MODE MULTI BANDER TS-2000
