63MICROPROCESSOR RESETIf your transceiver seems to be malfunctioning,initializing the microprocessor and its memory mayresolve the problem.INITIAL SETTINGSThese are the factory default settings for each VFO andthe memory channels:PARTIAL RESETDo a partial reset if a button or control does not functionaccording to the instructions in this manual. Thefollowing are not erased by a Partial Reset:• Memory channel data• Menu settings• Antenna tuner preset data• ANT1/ANT2 data• Automatic Mode frequency ranges• Electronic keyer settingsPress [RX A]+[ ] to do a Partial Reset. “HELLO”appears on the Display.FULL RESETDo a Full Reset if you want to erase all data in allmemory channels and reset all parameters to factorydefaults. After a Full Reset, you must re-enter memorychannel data if you want to use those channels. On theother hand, a Full Reset is a quick way to return alltransceiver parameters back to their factory settings(including all electronic keyer settings).Press [A=B]+[ ] to do a Full Reset.• “HELLO” appears on the Display and all parametersare reset.SWITCHING ANT 1/ ANT 2The antenna that you use for transmission/receptionwith the TS-870S can be selected via the [ANT] buttonon the Front Panel. There are two choices: ANT 1 andANT 2. ANT 1 selects the antenna connected to theANT 1 connector on the Rear Panel; ANT 2 selects theANT 2 connector. Selecting one of the antennapositions will automatically store that selection for thatband. Each time you select the same band in thefuture, the same antenna will be selected.OPERATOR CONVENIENCESNote:The lower limit is inside the band in each case; the higherlimit is inside the next higher band. For example, 14.1 MHz is inBand 12 whereas 14.49 MHz is in Band 13 (exception: 30 MHz is inBand 18).Connect an AT-300 external antenna tuner only to theANT 1 connector. After connecting this tuner correctly,the internal tuner will always be bypassed when ANT 1is selected.PROGRAMMABLE FUNCTION BUTTONSThe Programmable Function provides a method forcustomizing the functions of four Front Panel buttonshandily located around the Tuning control. If youroperating habits or activities change, you can alsoeasily change the functions that you assign.This function gives you the capability to assign any ofthe functions from Menu Nos. 00 ~ 68 to certain buttonson the Front Panel. The programmable buttons arelabeled ENTER, TF-SET, 1MHz, and FINE. Or you canassign functions (Nos. 69 ~ 73) to these buttons. If youwant to keep the Front Panel as simple as possible, youcan assign OFF to each button in which case thebuttons will have no function.Although the four buttons are automatically assignedwith the labeled functions by default, you may prefer tore-assign these buttons, for example, with four of theDSP functions (Menu Nos. 13 ~18). This would allowyou to experiment and learn how the different DSPsettings affect received signals. Or, you could assignsome of the AGC functions (Menu Nos. 01 ~ 07). Thenyou could make quick AGC changes, and choose theoptimum settings to best match receive conditions.There is a great deal of flexibility available with thisfunction. Think about your operating priorities, thenstart assigning.VFO AVFO BMemory Channels(00 ~ 99)14.000.0014.000.00. .USBUSB—Method of FrequencySelectionFrequency(MHz)ModulationModeBANDS FOR ANT 1/ ANT 2 SELECTION7.49 ~ 10.4910.49 ~ 14.114.1 ~ 14.4914.49 ~ 20.9920.99 ~ 21.1521.15 ~ 21.9921.99 ~ 25.4925.49 ~ 2929 ~ 300.030 ~ 1.851.85 ~ 2.012.01 ~ 3.5253.525 ~ 3.5753.575 ~ 3.7253.725 ~ 4.494.49 ~ 7.037.03 ~ 7.17.1 ~ 7.49101112131415161718123456789Range(MHz)BandNo.Range(MHz)BandNo.
