GENERAL

DESCRIPTION

Thank

you

far

purchasing

this

new

KENWOOD

compact

transceiver.

This

transceiver

has

many

powerful

features.

To

gat

the

most

out

of

these

features,

we

suggest

you

read

this

instruction

manual

carefully,

and

keep

it

handy

for

further

reference.

This

transceiver

provides

these

main

features:

1

This

radio

is

so

compact

that

you

can

easily

transport,

install

and

operate

from

either

a

portable,

mobile

or

fixed

station

installation.

2

Setting-up

transceiver

functions

is

simple

with

the

easy-to-use

Menu

System.

The

transceiver

delivers

dozens

of

functions

required

by

hams.

3

The

Busy-Frequency

Stop

automatically

stops

scan

on

a

busy

frequency.

Time

Operated

and

Carrier

Operated

modes

are

provided

for

this

function.

4

The

tuning

control

automatically

changes

the

frequency

step,

depending

on

how

fast

the

control

is

rotated.

(Achieved

by

a

“fuzzy

logic"

control

technique).

5

The

TF-SET

function

allows

changing

the

transmit

frequency

while

still

listening

to

your

received

signal.

6

The

Automatic

Power

Off

function

switches

off

the

power

if

the

transceiver

has

not

been

operated

for

approximately

three

hours.

7

The

MC-47

microphone

allows

assigning

four

control

functions

to

the

microphone

PF

(Programmed

Function)

keys.

In

addition,

this

transceiver

offers

many

other

transceiver

functions,

even

though

it

is

very

compact.

Information:

1

Noise

entering

from

the

DC

power

supply,

or

static

electricity

may

disable

the

buttons

or

the

tuning

control.

If

this

occurs,

determine

the

source

of

the

interference

and

take

appropriate

measures

to

reduce

or

eliminate

the

offending

noise.

If

the

transceiver

still

does

not

function

normally,

reset

the

microprocessor.

(For

the

reset

procedure,

reter

to

page

45.)

Resetting

the

transceiver

will

clear

the

memory

channels

and

return

the

menu

settings

(described

later)

to

their

default

values.

This

transceiver

contains

a

cooling

fan.

As

the

heat

sink

temperature

rises

because

of

continuous

transmission,

the

fan

speed

accelerates

to

its

maximum

speed,

and

the

sound

of

the

fan

will

become

more

noticeable.

If

the

heat

sink

temperature

becomes

excessively

high,

the

temperature

protection

circuit

will

trip

to

reduce

the

transmission

output.

For

extended

transmit

periods,

or

when

operating

EM

or

RTTY,

we

recommend

selecting

50

W

or

10

W

transmitter

output

power.

INSTALLATION

AND

CONNECTION

PREPARATION

FOR

MOBILE

OPERATION

When

you

use

this

transceiver

for

mobile

operation,

do

not

attempt

to

perform

any

kind

of

configuration

or

menu

set-up

operation

while

driving

your

car,

simply

because

it

is

too

dangerous.

Stop

the

car

and

then

perform

transceiver

configuration.

In

addition,

be

aware

of

local

laws

regarding

use

of

headphones

while

driving.

MOBILE

INSTALLATION

You

install

the

transceiver

in

a

safe

and

convenient

position

inside

your

vehicle

so

as

not

to

subject

yourself

to

danger

white

driving.

For

example,

install

the

transceiver

under

the

dash

in

front

of

the

passenger

seat

so

that

knees

or

legs

will

not

strike

the

ANTENNA

Use

a

whip

antenna

with

a

strong

and

rigid

mount

for

mobile

operation.

The

success

of

your

mobile

installation

will

depend

largely

on

the

type

of

antenna

and

its

correct

installation.

The

transceiver

can

give

excellent

results

if

the

antenna

system

and

its

installation

is

given

careful

attention.

The

performance

are

the

as

those

for

a

The

ground,

which

when

using

a

IGNITION

NOISE

This

has

been

designed

with

a

Noise

Blanker

to

filter

ignition

noise.

However,

some

cars

may

generate

excessive

ignition

noise.

If

there

is

excessive

noise,

use

suppressor

(with

resistors),

or

perform

other

countermeasures

as

may

be

required

to

reduce

these

undesired

electrically

generated

noises.

For

The

offers

some

mounting

suggestions.

Added

benefits

of

using

the

mounting

bracket

in

your

fixed

station

include

the

following:

*

You

can

angle

the

transceiver

for

best

visibility

from

your

operating

position.

¢

The

transceiver

remains

stationary

when

you

attach

connectors

or

use

any

of

the

controls.

«

The

transceiver

is

quickly

detachable

from

the

bracket

if

you

want

to

move

it

to

your

mobile

or

any

other

alternate

operating

position.

¢

The

bracket

eliminates

the

risk

of

anybody

bumping

the

transceiver

off

your

operating

desk.

If

you

decide

to

mount

the

transceiver

in

a

horizontal

plane

instead

of

angling

it

up

or

use

the

top

cannot

be

used

INSTALLATION

AND

CONNECTION

ANTENNA

CONNECTION

The

type

of

the

antenna

system,

consisting

of

the

antenna,

ground,

and

feed,

will

greatly

affect

the

successful

performance

of

the

transceiver.

Use

a

properly

adjusted

antenna

of

good

quality

to

let

your

transceiver

perform

at

its

best.

Use

a

good

quality

50

ohm

coaxial

cable

and

a

first

quality

connector

for

the

connection.

Match

the

impedance

of

the

coaxial

cable

and

antenna

so

that

the

SWR

is

1.5:1

or

less.

All

connections

must

be

clean

and

tight.

While

the

transceiver’s

protection

circuit

will

activate

if

the

SWR

is

greater

than

2.5:1,

do

not

rely

on

Protection

to

compensate

for

a

poorly

functioning

antenna

system.

High

SWR

will

cause

the

transmitter

output

to

drop,

and

may

lead

to

radio

frequency

interference

to

both

consumer

products

(such

as

stereo

receivers

and

televisions),

and

RF

interference

to

the

transceiver

itself.

Reports

that

your

signal

is

garbled

or

distorted,

especially

at

peak

modulation,

may

indicate

that

your

antenna

system

is

not

efficiently

tadiating

the

transceiver's

power.

If,

when

you

modulate,

you

feel

a

tingle

from

the

transceiver’s

cabinet

or

the

microphone’s

metal

fittings,

you

can

be

certain

that

at

the

least,

your

coax

connector

is

loose

at

the

rear

of

the

radio,

and

at

the

worst,

your

antenna

system

is

not

efficiently

radiating

power.

Caution:

in

a

fixed

station

installation,

use

a

lightning

arrester

to

prevent

fire,

electric

shock,

or

damage

to

the

transceiver.

GROUND

CONNECTION

At

the

minimum,

a

good

DC

ground

is

required

to

prevent

such

dangers

as

electric

shock.

For

superior

communications

results,

a

good

RF

ground

is

required,

against

which

the

antenna

system

can

operate.

Both

of

these

conditions

can

be

met

by

providing

a

good

earth

ground

for

your

station.

Bury

one

or

more

ground

rods,

or

a

large

copper

plate

under

the

ground,

and

connect

this

to

the

transceiver

GND

terminal.

Use

heavy

gauge

wire

or

a

copper

strap,

cut

as

short

as

possible,

for

this

connection.

Just

as

for

antenna

work,

all

connections

must

be

clean

and

tight.

Caution:

00

NOT

attempt

to

use

a

gas

pipe

(which

is

clearly

dangerous},

an

electrical

conduit

(which

has

the

whole

house

wiring

atlached

and

may

act

like

an

antenna),

or

a

Diastic

water

pipe

for

a

ground.
