Specifications

TS-590S/SG/480/2000 share a similar driver and TS-590S or SG are listed in setup. Just for fun,
you may select the TS-990 driver by directly typing TS-590 (instead of TS-590S or TS-590SG) in the
Transceiver combo box; TRX-Manager will sense your TS-590S or TS-590SG automatically. Layout is
different and you may find it more convenient (?), however some features (like Memory channels
read/write) are not supported.
Menus
Some critical menu items are accessible via TRX-Manager but not via a menu but by using
contextual dialogs, preferences, etc... in addition some of them are programmable by band
giving more power to computer control.
The main entry point for most advanced functions is the Levels window (see below).
Switching On/Off
The button of the main toolbar (or the F9 key) alllows switching ON/OFF the Transceiver.
In addition, options for ON at Startup or OFF on exit are available from Setup/TRX... tabs.
Monitoring
If Auto Information is checked (Setup), the Refresh button polls the transceiver in order
to fix errors in the display :
The Levelsbutton (or the Transceiver/Levels submenu) opens the Levels window.
The DISP button sets up the sub receiver from the Monitoring window.
The TF-Set function is supported by the TFS button. In addition, if you give the focus to the
TFS button (by pressing it once), the keyboard's space-bar toggles the TF-Set function
ON/OFF.
TS-480 TS-590S/SG (PTT)
The TS-480/590S/SG transceivers offers two modes for PTT: PTT for MIC Input (TX0;) or PTT
for ANY input (TX1;). By default TRX-Manager uses TX0; If your audio line is connected to
the accessory jack, you have to set up a macro (TX1;) for keying SSB.
Sub Receiver (TS-2000)
From the Levels window, the ON button sets up the sub receiver ON/OFF while the Sub
button toggles Control+PTT from Main to Sub. From the Monitoring, the Disp button toggles
the display from Main to Sub and gives you access to specific functions of the sub receiver
(CTRL, PTT, Bands and Mode).
