While in TX Tune, press [PWR] to turn the 
transmission output power adjusting mode for TX Tune 
ON/OFF.

You can adjust the transmission output power of TX 
Tune by turning the MULT/CH control while in TX Tune 
mode.

•  The TX Tune mode ON/OFF status is stored.

The following procedure shows how to set the 
transmission output power of TX Tune while in RX 
mode.

1 Press 

[PWR (TX MONI)] while receiving to enter 

the transmission output power adjusting mode.

2  Press the assigned [PF] key, “204” (TX TUNE 1) 

or “205” (TX TUNE 2), to enter the transmission 
output power adjusting mode for TX Tune. 

• “T.PWR” appears.

3 Turn 

the 

MULTI/CH control to select the 

transmission output power for TX Tune.

4 Press 

[PWR (TX MONI)] or [CLR] to exit the 

transmission output power adjusting mode for TX 
tune.

◆

  While in the transmission output power adjusting mode for 

TX Tune, you can start TX Tune by pressing the PF key to 
which [TX TUNE 1] or [TX TUNE 2] is assigned.

◆

  When you fi nish TX Tune, the transmission output power 

adjusting mode for TX Tune exits.

This transceiver has the capability to quickly and 
conveniently transfer the reception frequency and 
mode to another compatible transceiver.  Compatible 
transceivers include:

TS-590SG/ 590S

TS-480HX/ SAT

TS-2000/X

TS-570S/ 570D

TS-870S

TS-990S

Data transfer could be useful while contesting.  A 
spotting station that is searching for new contest 
multipliers can quickly transfer a frequency over to the 
running (main) station.

■

 

In addition to a compatible transceiver, to transfer 
to a TS-990S, TS-590SG, TS-590S, TS-480HX/ 
SAT, TS-2000/X, TS-570S/D, or TS-870S, you 
must have 1 cross-wired cable with a DB-9 female 
connector at both ends.

■

 

For diagrams on how to connect the 2 transceivers, 
refer to “CONNECTING PERIPHERAL 
EQUIPMENT” {page 69}.

The TX Tune function allows you to adjust the antenna 
length, or tune the linear amplifi er while transmitting a 
continuous CW signal.

To use the TX Tune function, fi rst assign the function 
to a PF key (either the front panel or Microphone PF 
keys).

1 Press 

[MENU], then press [Q-M.IN]/ [Q-MR] or 

turn the MULTI/CH control to select a Menu No. 
from 87 to 99.

2 Press 

[M.IN]/ [SCAN (SG.SEL)] to select “204” 

(TX TUNE 1).

3 Press 

[MENU] to exit Menu mode.

4  Press the assigned [PF] key.

•  The transceiver automatically switches to CW 

mode, and transmits a continuous carrier.  
The transceiver selects the SWR meter function 
automatically.

•  While in TX Tune mode, most keys are disabled.

•  The default output power is confi gured as 

10 watts.  However, you can adjust the output 
power using [PWR (TX MONI)] and the MULTI/
CH control if necessary.  The transceiver stores 
the new output power setting when you exit the 
TX Tune mode.

5  Press the assigned [PF] key again to exit the TX 

Tune mode.

1 Press 

[MENU], then press [Q-M.IN]/ [Q-MR] or 

turn the MULTI/CH control to select a Menu No. 
from 87 to 99.

2 Press 

[M.IN]/ [SCAN (SG.SEL)] to select “205” 

(TX TUNE 2).

3 Press 

[MENU] to exit Menu mode.

4  Press and hold the assigned [PF] key.

•  The transceiver automatically switches to CW 

mode, and transmits a continuous carrier.  
The transceiver selects the SWR meter function 
automatically.

•  While in TX Tune mode, most keys are disabled.

•  The default output power is confi gured as 

10 watts.  However, you can adjust the output 
power using [PWR (TX MONI)] and the MULTI/
CH control if necessary.  The transceiver stores

TX Tune mode.

5  Release the assigned [PF] key to exit the TX Tune 

mode.
