Thank

you

for

purchasing

the

new

TS-440S

tran-

sceiver.

Please

read

this

instruction

manual

carefully

before

placing

your

transceiver

in

service.

This

unit

has

been

carefully

engineered

and

manufactured

to

rigid

quality

standards,

and

should

give

you

satisfactory

and

dependable

for

many

years.

The

following

explicit

definitions

apply

in

this

manual:

Note:

If

disregarded,

inconvenience

only,

no

risk

of

equipment

damage

or

personal

injury.

Caution:

Equipment

may

occur,

but

not

per-

sonal

injury.

This

Instruction

Manual

covers

the

TS-440S,

with

and

without

unit.

When

there

are

differences

in

operation,

separate

instructions

will

be

given

for

each

model.

Notes:

1.

A

ground

connection

that

is

a

1/4

wavelength

or

its

multiple

may

provide

a

good

DC

ground,

but

it

will

not

provide

a

cannot

be

used

as

a

in

some

cases,

N

a

location

where

the

rear

does

not

make

direct

con-

tact

Avoid

installing

the

5.

The

standard

operating

voltage

of

the

equipment

is

13.8

V.

Do

not

operate

below

12

V

or

over

16V.

The

transceiver

can

be

elevated

for

operating

con-

venience.

Caution:

Do

not

use

the

bail

to

carry

the

transceiver.

Making

a

good

earth

connection

is

important

for

preventing

dangers

such

as

electric

shock

and

for

emit-

ting

high

quality

signal

with

minimum

spurious

radi-

ation.

Bury

a

rod

or

plate

under

and

connect

it

to

the

GND

terminal

of

the

TS-440S.

A

thick

wire,

cut

as

short

as

possible,

should

be

used

for

This

function

operates

in

all

modes,

FM,

USB,

LSB,

CW,

AFSK,

and

AM.

This

control

is

used

to

eliminate

atmospheric

noise,

and

receiver

static

noise

during

no

signal

periods.

Slowly

rotate

the

control

clockwise

to

the

point

where

the

am-

bient

noise

just

disapears,

and

speaker

shuts

off.

This

point

is

known

as

the

squelch

threshold

point.

Now

you

will

only

hear

output

from

the

speaker

when

an

incom-

ming

signal

is

present.

For

weak

signal

reception

this

control

should

be

fully

counterclockwise.

Note:

The

squelch

threshold

position

will

vary

from

mode

to

mode,

so

you

may

have

to

readjust

when

you

change

modes.

(®

NOTCH

control

The

NOTCH

function

is

used

to

reduce

or

eliminate

het-

erodyne,

or

CW

type

signals.

The

NOTCH

filter

will

not

be

effective

against

SSB,

AM

or

FM

type

signals.

To

use

the

control,

place

the

NOTCH

switch

ON

and

slow-

ly

rotate

the

NOTCH

control

to

reduce

the

interference.

Normally

the

notch

point

will

occur

between

the

11:00

and

1:00

o’clock

position.

Notes:

1.

The

NOTCH

frequency

can

be

varied

within

a

range

of

approximately

400

to

2600

Hz.

2.

When

an

interfering

signal

such

as

a

CW

station

appears,

slowly

rotate

the

NOTCH

control.

If

you

rotate

the

knob

too

quickly

you

may

pass

right

over

the

notch

point.

Slow

rotation

will

yield

the

best

results.

but-you

do

not

you

may

wish

to

make

use

of

the

RiT

function.

This

allows

shifting

without

The

allows

you

to

+/—

1.2

This

control

is

also

useful

for

frequency.

Notes:

1.

The

You

can

therefore
