Kenwood TS-850S TX/RX Setup:

To get the most out of the Kenwood TS-850S, there are a few parameters that should be set up. The following setup procedure is ONLY valid if you are using the optional Kenwood DSP-100 digital signal processor or if using high fidelity AM.

WARNING: If you are not using the DSP-100, the following settings will produce a "Double-Side-Band" signal with some unwanted carrier.

Kenwood TS-850 I.F. TX Bandwidth Power-On Menu Settings:

With the 850 turned off, press and hold the "SCAN" and the right "M.Ch" buttons simultaneously while turning on the radio.

Select menu 1 by rotating the "M.CH/VFO.CH" knob.

Turn the option to "ON" by pressing the "UP" button.

Press the "CLR" button to exit the power-on menu.

On SSB transmit, you can now select the following filters in the 8.83 MHz i.f. resulting in the following on-air bandwidths (with the DSP-100):

SSB
None	= 6 kHz TX bandwidth (with DSP-100)
6k	= 4.5 kHz TX bandwidth
2.7k	= 2.4 kHz TX bandwidth

This concludes the 850 setup procedures.
See the DSP-100 page for details on setting up the DSP-100 for transmit and receive.
Also, see the AM Mods page for details on AM Mods and RX/TX setup for AM.
