Why does my Kenwood TS-870S Transceiver display "14.000.00 MHz USB"?
If your Kenwood Transceiver displays "14.000.00 MHz USB" after switching ON, and you have NOT done a Full Reset, it is likely that the backup lithium battery voltage is too low. You should obtain a new battery from your dealer or a KENWOOD Service Center.
Why does Kenwood Transceiver show "HELLO" message when transmitting?
If you are attempting to transmit with your Kenwood Transceiver and the "HELLO" message appears, and the Receive mode is restored, it could be due to: 1. The antenna not being connected correctly. Check the antenna connection and correct as necessary. 2. The antenna not being matched correctly with the transceiver. Reduce the SWR of the antenna system. 3. The input voltage being outside 13.8 V DC ±15% (11.7 to 15.8 V DC). Correct the input voltage. 4. An inappropriate DC power cable being used. Use the provided or an optional DC power cable.
How to unlock frequency on Kenwood TS-870S?
If the frequency cannot be changed on your Kenwood Transceiver, it is likely that the Lock function is activated. To resolve this, press [F.LOCK] to switch OFF the function.
Why doesn't RIT/XIT control affect receive frequency on Kenwood TS-870S Transceiver?
If the RIT/XIT control has no affect on the receive frequency of your Kenwood Transceiver, it means that the Receive Incremental Tuning function is switched OFF. Press [RIT] to switch ON the function.
Why won't Memory Scan start on my Kenwood TS-870S?
If Memory Scan won’t start scanning on your Kenwood Transceiver, it could be due to: 1. The SQL control is not set correctly. Adjust the SQL control to just eliminate background noise. 2. You have fewer than two memory channels that are not locked out. Unlock some memory channels. 3. You have fewer than two memory channels programmed. Store data in more memory channels.
Why won't Memory Scan scan a specific channel on Kenwood Transceiver?
If Memory Scan will not scan one of the stored channels on your Kenwood Transceiver, and the desired channel is NOT locked out, it means that with Group Scan selected, the channel you want to scan is in a different group. To resolve this, select All-channel Scan by switching OFF Menu No. 66 (GRP.SCAN), or change to the group that contains the memory channel that you want to scan. Group changes are done by pressing Mic [UP] or [DWN].
