Kenwood TS-130SE - Manual (Page 7)

(D PHONES JACK
The headphone jack allows use of 4-to-l 6-ohm (or greater)
headphones. HS-6, HS-5, HS-4 optional headphones
provide optimum results. Stereo-type headphones can also
be sued. This will disable the internal and external speaker.
® PROC (processor) switch
During SSB transmission, the speech processor may be
used to increase "talk power".
® VOX (VOICE OPERATED TRANSMIT) SWITCH
This function is used for SSB VOX or CW semi-break-in -
operation. In the MAN (manual) position, the transceiver is
keyed by either the standby switch or the microphone PTT
switch. For VOX operation, the standy switch remains in
REC. (See page 11.)
(D METER SWITCH
During transmission, the meter switch determines meter
function. The switch selects between:
ALC.................... The meter monitors the output of the final
stage power amplifier during transmis­
sion. During SSB operation, adjust the
MIC control so that the meter pointer is
within the ALC zone. Similarly, adjust the
CAR control for CW operation.
1C....................... The meter monitors final stage collector
current. 12 ~ 19A is normal, 17A typical.
@ FIX (fixed channel) SWITCH
The TS-130SE has a built-in fixed channel oscillator
(crystals are user-provided, optional) which is activated by
the FIX switch for fixed channel or VFO operation.
(D) SUBDIAL
The subdial is calibrated from 0 to 500. It is driven from the
main tuning knob to indicate the transceiver's operating
frequency.
® MAIN TUNING CONTROL
This control is used to select the desired operating frequen­
cy. The scale on the control knob is calibrated at 1 kHz in­
tervals, allowing accurate tuning. For exact frequency, read
the Digital Display.
(
0
) RIT INDICATOR
This light emitting diode indicates the RIT circuit is ON.
(Q) IF SHIFT CONTROL
By using this control, the IF crystal filter center frequency
can be shifted ±1 kHz, allowing adjustment of tone quality,
or eliminating interference from adjacent frequencies.
For normal operation, this control should be set to the center
"0" position (detent).
@ RIT CONTROL
When the RIT circuit is ON, this will vary receive frequency
by about ±1.5 kHz. When the control is set to the "0"
center position, there is no frequency shift.
(3) CAR (CARRIER LEVEL) CONTROL
This control is used to adjust the carrier output level and is
effective only during CW operation. Adjust the control so
the ALC meter indication is within the ALC zone. For "QRP"
operation, reduce carrier insertion.
(
0
) MIC (MICROPHONE GAIN) CONTROL
This adjusts mic amplifier gain during SSB operation. Again,
adjust the control so the ALC meter indication is within the
ALC zone.
When this control is set to the CAL ON position, the built-in
calibrator is activated, permitting calibration of the receiver
dial scale at 25 kHz intervals.
(0) AF GAIN (AUDIO GAIN) CONTROL
This control adjusts the receiver audio amplifier gain.
Volume of the received signal increases as the control is
turned clockwise.
@ RF GAIN CONTROL
This adjusts the receiver section's RF amplifier gain. Turn
the control fully clockwise for maximum gain. Turn
counterclockwise to reduce the gain.
(g) BAND SWITCH
This switch selects all Amateur bands from 3.5 — 29.7
MHz. The 10, 18, and 24.5 MHz bands as supplied are
for reception only, and transmission on these frequencies
is not possible. Use the 10 MHz band to receive WWV at
10.0 MHz.
CAUTION: —------------------------------------------------------------------
Do not turn the bandswitch during transmit.
(2) POWER SWITCH
This switches the TS-130SE ON and OFF.
@ NB (NOISE BLANKER) SWITCH
This switch is used to reduce pulsating ignition noises of the
type usually emitted from motor vehicles. Power-line, QRM
and atmospheric "white" noise will not operate the noise
blanker.
@ RF ATT (ATTENUATOR) SWITCH
With this switch ON, a 20 dB attenuator is inserted in the
antenna circuit, protecting the RF amplifier and mixer from
overload on strong input signals.
® NAR/WIDE switch
This switch selects receive IF bandwidths between narrow
and wide. The WIDE position provides the same IF
bandwidth for both CW and SSB. For the NARROW posi­
tion, optional filters are available for both CW and SSB.
® RIT SWITCH
This push switch turns the RIT (Receiver Incremental Tun­
ing) circuit ON and OFF. With the switch depressed, the cir­
cuit is activated and the RIT indicator is illuminated, allowing
the receive frequency to be shifted by about ±1.5 kHz in­
dependent of the transmit frequency by using the RIT con­
trol. The RIT circuit is turned OFF when the switch is out.
