TS440S.47 A few adjustments you should know about (read the service manual before you tweak wildly on these!): tweaker what it does ------- ----------------------------------------------- RF-VR3 FM Microphone Gain RF-VR6 FM Deviation - set to 4.6KHz on dev meter IF-VR2 S-meter zero - set to zero with 50 ohm dummy load IF-VR3 S-meter S9 - set to S9 with 40dbu input 14.175MHz USB IF-VR4 Squelch threshold - close at 12 o'clock with mode = CW and filter WIDE IF-VR9 CW side tone level - as you like it IF-VR10 Beep tone level - as you like it Someone wanted to know what the difference between the DATA connections on ACC-2 and the AFSK connectors was. On output, none; the AFSK and the DATA out pin on ACC-2 are connected together, and are fed from the high side of the volume control - they are receiver audio BEFORE the cw sidetone, feeper, and voice response unit are mixed in, and should be a constant level independent of the AF gain setting. The AFSK input is different from the DATA IN connection; AFSK and microphone signals both go through the mike preamp and speech processor; the DATA input bypasses both. The MIC GAIN pot does control all three input levels. (as a note, you can tap preamped/processed audio OUT of the DATA IN connection, since it is just a tap on the output of the preamp/processor. This is also the feed into the FM modulator. But NOTE that the MIC GAIN pot doesn't adjust the mic gain on FM - there is a separate tweaker for that.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I'm happy with my TS440.
