- Kentrol User Notes for Specific Radio Models
- Version 3.2
-
-
- R-5000
-
- All features are supported.
-
- TS-440S
-
- All features are supported.
- Transmit and split operation are supported by registered copies only.
-
- TS-940S
-
- All features are supported. Transmit and split operation, as well as variable
- bandwidth tuning, are supported by registered copies only.
-
- Kentrol remembers variable bandwidth tuning settings, so you can switch VBT or
- high/low cut in and out with a single mouse click.
-
- Kentrol allows access to all 40 memory channels as a single, consecutively
- numbered bank. Bank 0, channel 00 is memory 00; bank 2, channel 06 is 26; and
- so on up to 39.
-
- When you choose the Scan: Set Parameters command, all 40 channels are
- displayed and you can choose ANY combination, regardless of bank.
-
- Kentrol memory set files (*.KTS files) all hold 100 split channels, and when
- you open them into edit windows you have access to the whole file. But
- Kentrol automatically ensures that only the first 40 channels are loaded into
- the radio or read from it. So, if you want to load settings from
- higher-numbered lines, you will need to copy/paste them to the beginning of
- the set.
-
- While Kentrol is running in the foreground, the Memory Bank Switch on top of
- the radio and many front panel controls are disabled. When Kentrol is
- minimized to its 'Monitor' icon, (and when it exits), Kentrol re-activates the
- manual controls.
-
-
- TS-140S/TS-680S
-
- All features are supported for HF operation. Transmit and split operation are
- supported by registered copies only.
-
- Kentrol adds to the TS-140S the FSK mode that Kenwood left out. When Kentrol
- indicates that you are in FSK mode (or when you click on the FSK radiobutton
- to force the mode), the Tuner display on your screen will not match the radio
- front panel, which will show 'lsb' and a different frequency. If you have
- chosen to use the rtty Mark frequency (default), the radio will show a
- frequency 2.11 kHz above the frequency in the Tuner window.
-
- If you have used memories 20-30 to store frequency ranges (Kenwood calls these
- channels "Programed (sic) Band Markers"), Kentrol will copy those ranges into
- any vacant User-defined Bands. To take advantage of the additional
- capabilities of Kentrol's User-defined Bands, go to the Options Menu, select
- Define..., and save the bands with your choice of tuning step and label text.
- Now you can use 20-30 as 11 more simplex memory channels and have user-defined
- bands too.
-
- Kentrol memory set files (*.KTS files) all hold 100 split channels, and when
- you open them into edit windows you have access to the whole file. But
- Kentrol automatically ensures that only the first 31 lines are loaded into the
- radio or read from it. So, if you want to load settings from higher-numbered
- lines, you will need to copy/paste them to the beginning of the set.
