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.

operation,
do
not
attempt
to
perform
any
kind
of
configuration
or
menu
set-up
operation
while

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
transceiver
if
you
brake
suddenly.

Be
sure
to
use
a
12
V
vehicle
battery
which
has
sufficient
current
capacity.
If
the
current
to
the
transceiver
is
insufficient,
the
display
may
darken
during
transmission
{at
audio
peaks
during
SSB
operation),
or
transmitter
output
power
may
drop
excessively.
Note:
if
you
use
the
transceiver
for
a
Jong
period
when
the
vehicle
battery
has
not
been
fully
charged,
or
when
the
engine
has
been
stopped,
the
battery
may
become
discharged,
and
will
noi
have
sufficient
reserves
to
start
the
vehicle.
Avoid
using
the
transceiver
under
these
conditions.
ANTENNA
CONNECTION
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
requirements
of
a
mobile
antenna
are
the
same
as
those
for
a
fixed
station
installation.

i
INSTALLATION
AND
CONNECTION
GROUND
CONNECTION
The
ground,
which
is
the
other
half
of
the
antenna
system,
is
very
important
when
using
a
mobile
whip
antenna.
Connect
the
feed
line
ground
for
the
antenna
securely
to
the
vehicle’s
chassis,
and
be
certain
to
bond
(electrically
connect)
the
vehicle
body
to
the
chassis.
The
sheet
metal
will
provide
the
primary
ground
plane,
so
be
sure
to
establish
a
good
RF
connection
from
the
feed
line
to
both
the
chassis
and
the
body.

IGNITION
NOISE
This
transceiver
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
spark
plugs
(with
resistors),
or
perform
other
countermeasures
as
may
be
required
to
reduce
these
undesired
electrically
generated
noises.
The
ARRL
Handbook,
or
other
similar
reference,
has
a
wealth
of
information
regarding
this
topic.
Note:
1
The
negative
lead
from
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
down,
use
the
top
or
middle
row
of
mounting
holes
on
the
bracket.
The
bottom
row
of
holes
cannot
be
used
to
mount
the
transceiver
horizontally.
1
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.
