QUICK DATA TRANSFER
This transceiver has the capability to quickly and
conveniently transfer the receive frequency and mode
to another compatible transceiver. Compatible
transceivers include:
TS-2000(X) TS-570S/ 570D
TS-850S TS-870S
TS-690S TS-950SDX
TS-450S
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.
SETTING UP
Equipment Needed
In addition to a compatible transceiver, the following
equipment is required:
Transfer to TS-2000(X), TS-570, or TS-870S:
One cross-wired cable. This cable must have a
9-pin RS-232C female connector at both ends.
Transfer to a transceiver other than TS-2000(X),
TS-570, and TS-870S:
KENWOOD IF-232C interface unit.
One cross-wired cable. This cable must have a
9-pin RS-232C female connector at one end and a
25-pin RS-232C female connector at the other
end.
One straight cable. This cable must have a
6-pin DIN male connector at both ends.
Connections
For diagrams on how to connect the two transceivers,
see “CONNECTING PERIPHERAL EQUIPMENT”
{page 93}.
Note: If you are using a DSP-100 unit with the transceiver, turn on
the transceiver first, then turn on the DSP-100.
USING QUICK TRANSFER
When connecting with another TS-2000(X), TS-570,
or TS-870S, use the same COM connector baud rate
on each transceiver. If transferring to or from other
KENWOOD transceivers, select 4800 bps and 2 stop
bits. On the TS-2000(X), set the parameter in Menu
No. 56 to 4800 bps.
Note: While transferring data, other functions may work slower.
Transferring Data
The TS-2000(X) transceiver works as the Master,
sending data to the Slave transceiver.
1 Switch ON the Transfer function of each
transceiver.
On the TS-2000(X), access Menu No. 52 and
select ON. For the compatible transceiver,
refer to the instruction manual that came with
the transceiver.
2 On the Master, while in VFO mode, select an
operating frequency and mode.
3 On the Master, press QUICK MEMO [M.IN].
When using another TS-2000(X) as the Slave,
“PC” appears on the Slave.
The displayed data is stored in Quick memory
channel 0 on the Master and transferred to the
Slave.
Note: If the Master has RIT switched ON, the offset frequency is
added to the receive frequency to be transferred.
Receiving Data
The TS-2000(X) transceiver works as the Slave,
receiving data from the Master transceiver. The
Slave can receive data using either Quick memory
channel 0 or the VFO.
1 Switch ON the Transfer function of each
transceiver.
On the TS-2000(X), access Menu No. 52 and
select ON. For the compatible transceiver,
refer to the instruction manual that came with
the transceiver.
2 On the Slave, access Menu No. 53 and select
either OFF (QUICK MEMO channel 0) or ON
(the VFO).
The default is OFF (QUICK MEMO).
3 On the Master, perform the appropriate operation
to send data.
For the correct method, refer to the instruction
manual that came with the transceiver.
Note:
If you always use the TS-2000(X) for receiving only, activate the
TX Inhibit function, accessing Menu No. 54 to avoid unintentional
transmission.
When the Slave receives data using the VFO programmed with a
simplex frequency, the received data replaces the data on both
VFOs. On the Slave, both RIT and XIT are set to OFF.
When the Slave receives data using the VFOs programmed with
split frequencies, the received data replaces the data only on the
TX side of the VFO. On the Slave, XIT is set to OFF but RIT is
not changed.
