S-METER SQUELCH
The S-meter Squelch function opens the squelch only
when the receiving signal has the same or greater
strength than the S-meter Squelch setting. This
function helps you to not open the squelch when
receiving weak signals that you do not want to hear.
1 Press [MENU], then turn the MULTI/ CH control to
access Menu No. 19A.
2 Press [+] to select ON.
3 Turn the MAIN SQL control and/or the SUB SQL
control to adjust the S-meter Squelch threshold
level. When you turn SQL control, the indicators
on the S-meter move accordingly.
4 Press [MENU] to store the settings and exit Menu
mode.
Note: The squelch threshold level of the S-meter squelch is
around the 9 o’clock position for FM (both MAIN and SUB SQL),
the 11 o’clock position for other modes (MAIN SQL), and the 9
o’clock position for AM (SUB SQL), regardless of the SQL controls
position.
SQUELCH HANG TIME
You can adjust the squelch hang time to continuously
monitor unstable signals. When the signal is
temporarily weaker than the S-meter Squelch
threshold level, the squelch does not mute the signal
for a short period of time. In this way, you can
continuously monitor the unstable signal.
1 Press [MENU], then turn the MULTI/ CH control to
access Menu No. 19B.
2 Press [+]/ [–] to select OFF, 125 ms, 250 ms, or
500 ms.
3 Press [MENU] to store the settings and exit Menu
mode.
TIME-OUT TIMER
The Time-out Timer limits the time of each
transmission. It is also useful to prevent a long
accidental transmission.
1 Press [MENU], then turn the MULTI/ CH control to
access Menu No. 24.
2 Press [+]/ [–] to select OFF, 3 minutes, 5 minutes,
10 minutes, 20 minutes, or 30 minutes.
3 Press [MENU] to store the settings and exit Menu
mode.
RX DSP EQUALIZER
EQUALIZING RECEIVING AUDIO (SSB/ FM/ AM)
Use Menu No. 20 to change the receiver frequency
responses of the target signal. You can select one
from six different receiver profiles including the
default flat response. Selecting any of the following
items from the Menu causes “
” to appear on
the display.
• Off (OFF):
The default frequency response for SSB, FM, and
AM.
• High boost (H BOOST):
Emphasizes higher audio frequencies; effective for
a bassy voice.
• Formant pass (F PASS):
Improves clarity by suppressing audio frequencies
outside the normal voice frequency range.
• Bass boost (B BOOST):
Emphasizes lower audio frequencies; effective for
a voice with more high frequency components.
• Conventional (CONVEN):
Emphasizes by 3 dB frequencies at 600 Hz and
higher.
• User (USER):
Reserved for the ARCP software. Off is
programmed at the factory as a default.
SEPERATE SPEAKER OUTPUT
The TS-2000(X) has 2 independent receivers and is
capable of receiving 2 different frequencies at the
same time. If no external speaker is connected to the
TS-2000(X), both audio signals are mixed internally,
then output through the internal speaker.
1 Connect the external speaker(s) to the EXT.SP1
and/or EXT.SP2 jack on the rear panel {page 2}.
2 Press [MENU], then turn the MULTI/ CH control to
access Menu No. 16.
3 Press [+]/ [–] to select 0, 1 or 2.
4 Press [MENU] to store the setting.
