Fonaton| OS:0FF DS.ON fi Wering GH memory When the DS switch is ON in SSB/CW mode, the frequen- cy is searched, that is, the digits for “kH2"” and "1 00Hz’ are set to "00" and the 0.0 to 9.9kHz frequency range is swept repeatedly at a speed of 60mS per step. If a signal is present during search swept, tone will be ‘heard, allowing you to check the signal in SSB mode. It is. thus possible to locate stations quickly Note: ——— If the transmitters are keyed in this Mode, a momentary tone will sound to remind you that the transceiver is in ‘search mode. 3.4 MEMORY SWITCH Using this switch, commonly used frequencies (repeaters, etc.) can be stored in the memory. Frequencies set by the \VFO are stored in channels 1 through § by using the M. switch. Stored frequencies can be called-up by placing the MA switch ON, ‘Two different frequencies (transmit and receive can be stored in channel 8, so the transceiver will operate on any repeater split. The receiver frequency is stored in memory just as for channels 1-4. To store the transmit frequency in memory, set the transmit frequency in the receiver mode and then press the M switch ia the transmit mode. (See Fig. 3-3) NOTE: 1, When a memory is vacant, the memory frequency is, 144.0000MHz 2. The memory frequency called-up by the MR switch is displayed in § digits, regardless of mode.

To clear a frequency stored in memory. simply store a new frequency in that memory. 4. If you desite to retain the memories, back-up power should be supplied to the micro-computer (1 power cord should be connected directly to the battery terminal, (2) A back-up supply *(Part No. WO3-0008-08) should bbe used, This te sama charger withthe spl accessory ofthe rR2200, Ineither case, back-up current of about 2.5mA is r- avired. 5, If power is disconnected, the back-up function is retain: ed for only 1-1.5 sec. If instantaneous voltage drop at engine starting continues for more than 2 sec, the micro computer will be reset and the memory cleared. 6. If you wish to retain the memories even when changing the installation between the car and the fixed station, Utilize a back-up cord as shown in Fig. 3-4. 3.5 SCAN OPERATION ‘TR-9000 scan operation is classified into auto scan (signal stops at a certain point and scan restarts when signal is 2b- sent) and tree scan. + Auto sean ‘Auto scan is available only in the FM mode. 1, Set the squelch control to the threshold point (noise disappears at no-signal time and BUSY lamp goes oft). 2. Next, press the SCAN button to start scan operation, 3. When a signal is present, scanning stops.

To change frequency, it is first necessary to release the scan by pressing the HOLD button or MIC PTT switch 2. Hf the MR switch is pressed during scan operation, the memory frequency is output: When this switch is releas- ed, scanning will not resume, 3.6 TX OFFSET SWITCH The TX OFFSET switch, used for selecting simplex or repeater operation, has three positions. I the transmitter frequency is shifted beyond the high or low frequency limits, the transceiver will operate in simplex mode, and a warning tone will sound during transmit. ‘Bs The transmitter frequency is 600 kHe higher than the receiver frequency. (Generally, this position might not be used.) 5 : The TR-9000 operates in the usual simplex mode. That fs, receive and transmit frequencies are the same. (5: The transmitter frequency is 600 kH2 lower than the receiver frequency. Note: OFFSET is available for all modes. vice Manuals Contact JioRRTFON TECHNICA SERVICES ree chor Seen x8 atest ra OBA ra erquresorenen 3.7 SQUELCH ‘The squeich circuit operates only in the FM mode. To eliminate the noise at no-signal condition turn the squelch slowly clockwise until the noise disappears and the BUSY lamp goes off (threshold point) Adjust the VFO to an empty frequency. The BUSY lamp will ight and the speaker will operate when @ signal is received. The squelch control is also used for auto scan ‘operation control Ifthe signal is weak or fades during mobile operation, ead just the squelch for the clearest reception 3.8 RIT AND RIT SWITCH RIT" is an abbreviation for “‘recsiver incremental tuning” ‘The RIT feature enables you to shift receive frequency ap- proximately + 1kHz. By adjusting the RIT control in the +" direction, the receive frequency willbe higher than the transmit frequency (and vice versal. When the RIT control is set to the center "0" position, the frequency is the same as that at RIT OFF, and the frequen Cy indicated on the digital display remains unchanged. 1 the receive frequency is incorrect, it can be agjusted by ‘turing the RIT switch ON (the RIT lamp will light). Since the receive frequency can be varied without changing the transmit frequency, there is a difference between the transmit and receive frequencies. Therefore, the RIT switch should be turned OFF when the QS0 is finished Note that the AIT circuit is available in SSB or CW mode ‘and does not operate in FMI or FM2 modes. 3.9. NB (NOISE BLANKER) The noise blanker is used to reduce ignition type impulse noise generated from a car, and allows reception of weak (CW or SSB signals. The noise blanker will nt operate in the FM modes. 3.10 RF GAIN AND S METER The RF GAIN control, which is used to control receiver, {98in has a range of more than 6Od8 in SSB or CW mode. Since the RF GAIN function is interlocked with the AGC, it {is used to control strong signals. Receiver gain is maximum {at full clockwise position, and is reduced by adjusting the control cournterclockwise, In SSB mode, receiver noise can be reduced by using the RF GAIN control. Adjust as necessary, according to signal Conditions. Normally, it should be set for maximum gain |n FM inode, the RF GAIN has a range of about 2048. It is ot interlocked with the S meter. + FM mode The lower 0-10 division tir scale of the S meter is used. Full scale occurs at 154V. The upper scale of the S meters used. The meter reads S-9 at 54V in ut and full scale at 1mV. + SSB/CW mode 13Fig. 3-5 $ Meter 3.11 TRANSMITTER PRECAUTIONS 1. The TR-9000 antenna impedance is 50 ohms. Be sure {0 connect an antenna of 50 ohm impedance 2. Check the transmit frequency before operating to insure that you do not interfere with other stations. 3. By pressing the microphone PTT switch, The TR-9000 is set in transmit mode; the ON AIR lamp will ight and the meter indicate transmit power. Hold the microphone ‘about Sem feom your mouth and speak. 4, In SSB mode, microphone gain has been adjusted for op- timum ALC for normal tone of voice. If you speak too loud, the signal will distort, reducing intelligibility, 5. In CW mode: (1) If 2 key is not connected, CW is transmitted when the PTT switch is pressed. (2) With a key connected, operate the dey with the PTT switch depressed (or the 80-9, optional accessory) STBY SW to send ‘The SIDE TONE circuit will provide a tone about 800 Hz from the speaker 3.12 CW OPERATION Use any of these 3 methods for CW operation, Nore: ————___ —___— 1.
