User manual KENWOOD HMC-3

[. . . ] 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)/ HMC-3 gives you enhanced interference reduction capabilities and improves the quality of audio that you transmit without installing additional analog filters. You will notice the differences when you fight QRM and QRN. As you learn how to use this transceiver, you will also find that KENWOOD is pursuing "user friendliness". [. . . ] 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. 6 To adjust the frequency on the sub-band display (normally the uplink frequency) without tracing, turn the RIT/ SUB control. To adjust it using the trace function, press [A/B / M/S] to swap the main band frequency and sub-band frequency then turn the Tuning control or MULTI/ CH control. The following table shows which control to use when adjusting frequencies with tracing ON and OFF. TRACE/ TRACE R ON Tuning control Main and Sub (Normal) MULTI/ CH Main and Sub control (Coarse) RIT/ SUB Sub control TRACE/ TRACE R OFF Main Main Sub SATELLITE CHANNEL NAME You can name each Satellite Memory channel using a maximum of 8 alpha-numeric characters. First, store the settings to the Satellite Memory channel {above}. To store the Satellite Channel name: 1 Press [M. IN] then turn the MULTI/ CH control to select the Satellite Memory channel. Select a character by turning MULTI/ CH control, then move the cursor using [SUB] or [MAIN]. You can also use the other methods to enter the characters. 4 Press [M. IN] to store the name to the Satellite Memory channel. 5 The stored Satellite Memory name appears on the main dot-matrix display. QUICK MEMORY IN SATELLITE MODE While in the Satellite mode, only 1 Quick Memory channel is available. It uses Satellite Memory channel 9 to store the settings. [. . . ] Otras especificaciones permanecen invariables. Especificaciones del TS-2000E/ E2, HMC-3E/ E2 y TS-2000XE: Comandos AI: El rango de frecuencias de la banda de 7 MHz del transmisor (pgina 105) se ha ampliado hasta "7, 0 MHz 7, 2 MHz". Los transceptores TS-2000/HMC-3 no soportan los siguientes comandos Al antiguos: "AI 1;" y "AI 3;". Puede haber incompatibilidades entre el transceptor y el software de registro de su PC; no se producirn cambios cuando se utilicen estos comandos.
