6.4 HOW THE TX FINAL TRANSISTORS

ARE PROTECTED

Final transistor protection is provided by sampling the re­

flected power. As the reflected power is increased (higher

SWR) transmitter drive is reduced, thus decreasing input

to the final transistors. This in turn reduces collector loss,

protecting the final transistors.

6.5 OPTIONAL 10Hz DISPLAY

RESOLUTION

If you would like 10Hz instead of the supplied 100 Hz dis­

play resolution, cut the jumper as shown on the Control

unit.

6.6 PHONE PATCH OPERATION

In an area where phone patch is legal,the PC-1 A Phone

Patch may be used with the TS-430S. Recommended set­

ting are:

PC-1A

RXGain 4

TS-430S VOX Gain 1

TX Gain 4

AF Gain 4

Null as necessary

Mic Gain 5

ANTI VOX Max

Most other phone patches will work satisfactorily without

any modification to the radio, requiring only an external

speaker connection, and that the Mic line be run through

the patch.

For those operators who desire a Patch input similar to the

TS-930S, TS-520SE or TS-820S, an input connection and

terminal must be added at the Mic input preamp circuit.

Use a 100-Ki2 resistor in series, with a 10-ki2 to ground

on the input side of the 100-ki2 resistor. Use shielded line,

and connect as follows:

On the IF unit X48-1 370-00 install the fixed divider at the

junction of R161 10k, C94 lOOpf, and C93 1/^F (input of

Q34). Add an RCA jack at the empty rear panel opening or

use remote pins 7 and Gnd for input.

6.7 OPERATION WITH A LINEAR

AMPLIFIER

Operation with a linear amplifier.

TS—430S internal wiring.

Pin 6 ALC input

Connector Metal Shell is Ground

Pin 2, Relay Common

Pin 4, Relay N.O.

Use shielded line for both ALC and RL (control line).

Initial linear amplifier tune-up should be perfomed with the

exciter at 50% power, to reduce wear-and-tear on both the

linear, and the exciter. Use of a dummy load is strongly

suggested, since the bands are already sufficiently crowd.

The TS-430S may be operated with any conventional lin­

ear amplifier which will accept up to approximately 100

watts RF drive, has a low currrent DC operated keying cir­

cuit, and returns approximately -8---------------- 10 V DC ALC (ad­

justable) back to the exciter.
