QUICK DATA TRANSFER
You can transfer the operating data such as the receive
frequency and operating mode to a transceiver that is
connected to this transceiver. This function is useful to
transfer the operating data such as the receive frequency
to another transceiver during two-person operation of the
transceiver in a contest.
You can transfer operating data to the following transceiver
model names. For the connection methods, refer to
"CONNECTING TO AN APPLICABLE TRANSCEIVER
(QUICK DATA TRANSFER)". {page 1-5}
• TS-990 Series
• TS-590 Series
• TS-480 Series
• TS-2000 Series
• TS-570 Series
• TS-870S
If the operating data is transferred using Quick Data
Transfer, connect the master transceiver to the slave
transceiver using a cross cable. The same baud rate, stop
bit, and transferring target for the Quick Data Transfer
must be configured for both master and slave transceivers.
For the Quick Data Transfer using two TS-990S, one must
be configured as the master transceiver and the other as
the slave transceiver.
Note:
◆ During the Quick Data Transfer using this transceiver and other
transceiver, some functions may not be used due to the differences
of the specifications.
TRANSFERRING THE OPERATING DATA TO THE SLAVE
TRANSCEIVER
Follow the procedure below to operate the transceiver as
a master transceiver, to transfer the operating data to the
slave transceiver.
1 Enable Quick Data Transfer for both the master
transceiver and the slave transceiver.
Select "On" in the Menu 7-02, "Quick Data Transfer." To
enable the data transfer of another transceiver, refer to the
instruction manual supplied with that transceiver.
2 Place the transceiver into VFO mode and configure the
operating frequency and operating mode.
3 Press [M.IN] (Quick Memory) on this transceiver.
The displayed operating data is registered with quick
memory channel 0 of this transceiver and transferred to the
slave transceiver. While the RIT function of the transceiver
is active, the offset frequency is added to the transferring
receive frequency.
RECEIVING THE OPERATING DATA FROM THE
MASTER TRANSCEIVER
You can operate this transceiver as a slave transceiver
that receives the operating data from a master transceiver.
The transceiver uses either the VFO or quick memory
channel 0 to receive the operating data from the master
transceiver.
1 Enable Quick Data Transfer for both this transceiver
and the slave transceiver.
Select "On" in the Menu 7-02, "Quick Data Transfer."
For the configuration of the Quick Data Transfer of the
master transceiver, refer to the instruction manual for that
transceiver.
2 Select Group No. 7, "Rear Connectors", from the Menu
screen.
3 Access Menu 03, "Overwrite Location (Quick Data
Transfer)" of the transceiver.
4 Press [SELECT] (F4) to allow editing of the parameter
box.
5 Press [-] (F4) or [+] (F5) to select "VFO" or "Quick
Memory".
The default is "Quick Memory".
6 Press [ ] (F1).
7 Press [MENU] to exit.
8 Transmit the operating data from the master
transceiver.
For the transferring of the operating information from the
master transceiver, refer to the instruction manual for that
transceiver.
Note:
◆ To prevent erroneous operations of both the master transceiver
and the slave transceiver, turn the master transceiver and
slave transceiver OFF and ON again after completing their
configurations.
◆ To use the transceiver only for reception all the time, select "On" for
Menu 6-03, "TX Inhibit", to disable the transmission capability, in
order to prevent erroneous transmission.
◆ If the slave transceiver receives the operating data using the
operating frequency (VFO) which has been configured as the
Simplex frequency, the operating band for both master and slave
transceivers are overwritten with the received operating data. "Off"
should be configured for the RIT and XIT of the slave transceiver.
◆ If the slave transceiver receives the operating data using the
operating frequency (VFO) which has been configured as the
Simplex frequency, the received operating data overwrites the
operation data for transmission. "Off" is configured in the XIT of the
slave transceiver, but the RIT remains unchanged.
◆ If any transceiver other than TS-990S is used as a slave
transceiver, the operating data is transferred as the VFO-A
(Simplex) to Quick Memory 0 channel. by the Quick Data Transfer.
