Accurate tuning is initiated simply by pressing the AT TUNE key on the TS-50S. And since band data is transferred to the tuner, there is no need to operate the AT-50 directly it can be installed in a cars trunk. The AT-50 can also be used with other ransceivers. Specifications The equipment meets or exceeds published specifications. Specifications are subject to change without notice due to advances in technology. KENWOOD reserves the right to add or delete models or products without notice to maintain its competitive position in the market.

Yet Born to be Free Born to be Free 160m to 10m Amateur band operation with 500kHz to 30MHz general coverage receiver fan with heat sink to ensure stable operation. Sophisticated features include DDS with inno- vative “fuzzy” control, and Kenwoods own AIP. For user-friendly operation on the move, theres also a multi-function micro- phone, a powerful menu system, and an optional antenna tuner. All this and more, for the TS-50S is equipped with dual VFOs for split-frequency operations. Despite its small size (179mm wide, 60mm high, 233mm deep), the TS-50S offers transmit/receive performance on a par with most of the large HF transceivers on the market. Naturally, it supports LSB, USB, CW, AM and FM. AIP (Advanced Intercept Point) Kenwoods AIP system an exclusive cir- cuit design capable of raising dynamic range to 105dB ensures first-class re- ceiver performance with a significantly reduced noise floor level. 100 memory channels The TS-50S is equipped with 100 channels for independent storage of transmit and receive parameters such as frequency, mode, and filter setting. Memory shift facil- itates transfer of data to the VFOs. Easy-to-use scan functions Convenience is further improved with the provision of a carrier-operated scan stop mode, a first for HF rigs. Comprehensive interference reduction GCW reverse mode The pitch of interference competing with the CW signal is reversed so the operator can approach the signal from either side. GAll-mode squelch The squelch circuit effectively suppresses undesirable background noise when there is no signal present. Dual VFOs (A and B) Since VFO data is stored independently for each band, even after switching bands the previously used frequency will still be available. Multi-function microphone supplied Like other Kenwood VHF mobile trans- ceivers, the TS-50S is compatible with remote-control microphones featuring 4 programmable function keys. TF-SET TF-SET is provided so the TS-50S can be used for split operations and DX applica- tions. This function is available when the receive frequency is locked, so the operator can avoid losing a targeted DX station. GSwitchable AGC circuit (SLOW/ FAST) AGC (automatic gain control) can be changed via the menu system. This ensures optimum receiver operation in SSB, AM and CW modes under all signal strength conditions.

The menus are also accessible via the supplied microphone. DDS (Direct Digital Synthesizer) with fuzzy control For the first time, Kenwood has introduced “fuzzy” logic control circuitry to enable the main encoder to tune smoothly from 5Hz steps to fast forward mode. despite its compact dimensions, the TS-50S packs a hefty punch.
