[. . . ] INSTRUCTION MANUAL ALL MODE MULTI-BAND TRANSCEIVER TS-2000 TS-2000X TS-B2000 KENWOOD CORPORATION B62-1221-20 (K) 09 08 07 06 05 04 03 02 THANK YOU THANK YOU Thank you for choosing this KENWOOD TS-2000(X)/ TS-B2000 transceiver. It has been developed by a team of engineers determined to continue the tradition of excellence and innovation in KENWOOD transceivers. This transceiver features dual Digital Signal Processing (DSP) units to process IF and AF signals. By taking maximum advantage of DSP technology, the TS-2000(X)/ TS-B2000 gives you enhanced interference reduction capabilities and improves the quality of audio that you transmit without installing additional analog filters. [. . . ] This transceiver is also capable of automatically tuning in a reported DX station. In order to use the Auto Tune function, access Menu No. 49A and select "AUTO"; the default is "MANUAL". 2 Press the SUB AF control to activate the subreceiver if it is switched OFF. 3 Tune to the frequency of the target DX Packet Cluster node on the sub-receiver. 46 to confirm that "SUB" is selected. 5 Press [FUNC], [SET/ P. C. T. ] to enter the Packet Cluster Tune (P. C. T. ) mode. Each time new DX Packet Cluster data is received, the DX station's callsign in Morse code sounds and the information is displayed on the sub-receiver as shown below: SATELLITE OPERATION Amateur satellites receive on one band and transmit on another. Unlike in regular operation, Satellite mode can handle uplink/ downlink frequency combinations simultaneously in all operating modes as shown below. UPLINK Band HF ~ 50 MHz HF ~ 50 MHz 144 MHz 430/ 440 MHz 1. 2 GHz DOWN LINK 144 MHz 430/ 440 MHz 1. 2 GHz Some satellites require a rotator that allows azimuth and elevation control, plus a high-gain directional antenna. The antenna must track the satellite which travels from horizon to horizon. Even so, many hams have been successfully using fixed omnidirectional antennas. If you are using a directional antenna, it would be wise to obtain a pass prediction program. Doppler Shift is another aspect that you must take into account when working the satellites. As a target satellite travels away, frequencies on which you will receive change. This transceiver has a function that automatically keeps the sum or difference between the two frequencies identical when you change the receive frequency. For further information, consult Internet Web pages relating to Amateur satellites. On Internet search engines, use "AMSAT" as key words to find those Web pages. Or, you can directly go to the AMSAT (the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation) homepage at http://www. amsat. org. From AMSAT Web pages, you can download a variety of utilities, including pass prediction programs, which will ease your satellite operations. 6 If you are not using the Auto Tune function, press [SET/ P. C. T. ]. The main transceiver is tuned to the frequency of the reported DX station, on the sub-receiver. Transmitting on the tuned frequency, the transceiver exits the P. C. T.
