16 OTHER FUNCTIONS Antenna Output for External Receivers Connection When this function is ON, the RX signal that enters the transceiver from the currently selected antenna (ANT 1, ANT 2 or RX ANT) is split along the way. A part of the split signal is input to the RX circuit, while the other part to the ANT OUT terminal. Press and hold [RX ANT] to set the antenna output for external receiver to ON or OFF. • When it is ON, > lights up. ● When the antenna output function is used, the RX sensitivity and gain lower by approximately 3 dB due to signal loss in the splitter. ● During transmission, there is a very slight amount of output leakage due to internal isolation (approximately -20 dBm in the 50 MHz band). ● The ON/OFF status of the antenna output function is stored separately for the HF band and 50/70 MHz band. Emergency Call (K Type Only) TM-D710GA/ TM-D710A/ TM-V71A Section 97.401(d) of the regulations governing amateur radio in the United States permit emergency amateur communications on 5167.5 kHz by stations in or within 92.6 km of the state of Alaska. This frequency is for use only when the immediate safety of human PKS life and/or property are threatened, and is never to be used for ANI routine communications. Press [EMERGENCY] to change to the Emergency channel (5167.5 kHz/ USB). • [EMERGENCY] can be assigned to a PF key. ANO • When entering Emergency mode, "EMERGENCY" . PSQ momentarily appears on the screen. ● RIT/XIT turns OFF automatically when entering Emergency mode. ● The transceiver will not switch to the Emergency channel if you are using the constant recorder and are either transmitting, receiving a voice call, or receiving a CW call. Crossband Repeater If you have a KENWOOD FM transceiver (K type) with a 6 pin mini DIN connector, you can set up the TS-890S transceiver and the FM transceiver as a crossband repeater. The FM transceiver will receive signals you transmit from the additional VHF or UHF transceiver when both transceivers are set with the same frequency. The signal is then routed to the TS-890S transceiver and retransmitted on the frequency you have set on the TS-890S transceiver. Likewise, signals received on the TS-890S transceiver are routed to the FM transceiver and retransmitted to the transceiver you have with you, allowing you to hear the received call in a distant location. ● For the repeater function to operate, the squelch levels of both transceivers (TS-890S and FM transceiver) must be adjusted properly so that no background noise can be heard; the transmission is controlled by monitoring the squelch status only.

Antenna Output for External Receivers
When this function is ON, the RX signal that enters the transceiver
from the currently selected antenna (ANT 1, ANT 2 or RX ANT) is
split along the way. A part of the split signal is input to the RX circuit,
while the other part to the ANT OUT terminal.
Press and hold [RX ANT] to set the antenna output
for external receiver to ON or OFF.
•
When it is ON, <<
>> lights up.
●
When the antenna output function is used, the RX
sensitivity and gain lower by approximately 3 dB due to
signal loss in the splitter.
●
During transmission, there is a very slight amount of
output leakage due to internal isolation (approximately
-20 dBm in the 50 MHz band).
●
The ON/OFF status of the antenna output function is
stored separately for the HF band and 50/70 MHz band.
Emergency Call (K Type Only)
Section 97.401(d) of the regulations governing amateur radio in
the United States permit emergency amateur communications on
5167.5 kHz by stations in or within 92.6 km of the state of Alaska.
This frequency is for use only when the immediate safety of human
life and/or property are threatened, and is never to be used for
routine communications.
Press
[EMERGENCY]
to change to the Emergency channel
(5167.5 kHz/ USB).
•
[EMERGENCY]
can be assigned to a PF key.
•
When entering Emergency mode,
“
EMERGENCY
”
momentarily appears on the screen.
●
RIT/XIT turns OFF automatically when entering
Emergency mode.
●
The transceiver will not switch to the Emergency channel
if you are using the constant recorder and are either
transmitting, receiving a voice call, or receiving a CW
call.
Crossband Repeater
If you have a KENWOOD FM transceiver (K type) with a 6 pin mini
DIN connector, you can set up the TS-890S transceiver and the
FM transceiver as a crossband repeater. The FM transceiver will
receive signals you transmit from the additional VHF or UHF
transceiver when both transceivers are set with the same
frequency. The signal is then routed to the TS-890S transceiver
and retransmitted on the frequency you have set on the TS-890S
transceiver. Likewise, signals received on the TS-890S
transceiver are routed to the FM transceiver and retransmitted to
the transceiver you have with you, allowing you to hear the
received call in a distant location.
●
For the repeater function to operate, the squelch levels
of both transceivers (TS-890S and FM transceiver) must
be adjusted properly so that no background noise can
be heard; the transmission is controlled by monitoring
the squelch status only.
