Kenwood TS-890S: Configuring Receive EQ (video #3) #hamradio #hf #kenwood #ts890 #receive #equalizer

#hamradio #hf #kenwood #ts890 #receive #equalizer This video is the third in a series. This one, and a few others, will be available for public viewing for a limited time. I’m developing an entire tutorial series for S9 (VIP) Patreon team members, as long as there is enough support to justify the time and expense involved in producing the series. Join as an S9 (VIP) at www.PATREON.com/N4HNH to support this series. If you have been regularly watching my videos for the past few years, you know that I typically use Yaesu radios to teach operating techniques. I also created a tutorial series for the FTdx10, FTdx101, and FT-710. In this video I show how to customize the receive audio using the built-in equalizers. You can tailor the audio to minimize noise and improve intelligibility. Or you might configure it to compensate for hearing loss at specific audio frequencies. In 2019, I tried out the TS-890S , and I found the noise reduction algorithms to be off-putting. However, as you will see in this video, there is a redeeming quality. Note that most of the operating techniques I show and teach on my channel can be applied to other transceivers, even other brands of transceivers. Some knobs or buttons might be labeled differently but the function is the same. I have no allegiance to Yaesu. No manufacturer makes a perfect radio. They all have strengths and they all have weaknesses. I like to point those out. I want my viewers to know the good, the bad, and the ugly, so they can make informed purchase decisions. I am able to be objective because I have no allegiance to a particular manufacturer. My work is supported by private donations, via www.PATREON.com/N4HNH. At the end of this video I will acknowledge some of the supporters of this channel who made this video, and many others, possible. These are people who have supported my work via Patreon team membership as what I call long-haulers. Long-haulers have supported my work on a long-term basis, with significant donations. Without their commitment, this content would not exist. I hope you enjoy this video and find it helpful. If you find my channel informative, I hope you will consider joining my support group by clicking on: www.patreon.com/N4HNH There are 3 levels of support, including exclusive content. Visibility and access to premium content is determined by the membership tier you choose. Most videos are visible to the Patreon team members long before they are released for public viewing. Some videos are never released for public viewing. Yearly S7 (Executive) and S9 (VIP) members have access to the menu optimizations PDFs I’ve written for the FT-891, FT-991A, FTdx5000MP, FTdx101D/MP, FTdx10, and FT-710 AESS. S7 (Executive) members who subscribe annually can receive one menu optimizations PDF while annual S9 (VIP) members can receive multiple menu optimizations documents, my FT8 configuration guide for either the FTdx10 or the FT-710 AESS, plus future updates. If I discover something new, or a future firmware update affects a function, I will update the guide(s) accordingly. Guides for future radios, such as the Kenwood TS-890S, might also be added. The documents are copyrighted. They shall not be divulged to anyone else without written permission from Doug McAlexander, callsign N4HNH. N4HNH Radio has a Web site where you can purchase T-shirts with some of the sayings you might hear in the videos.
