Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Is there a specific microphone type applicable with TS-130SE?
A1: This equipment licenses low impedance and high impedance video, specifically; a microphone of 500 ohms to 50k ohms.
Q2: Am I still able to send 30, 17 and, 12 meter communication through TS-130SE?
A2: Due to its ability to use diodes that prevent the device from turning on unintentionally prior to receiving an amateur certificate, TS-130SE can also use the new bands of 30, 17, 12 meter.
Q3: What type of voltage is sufficient for TS-130SE equipment?
A3: In their specifications, The device needs 12V to 16 volts while the normal operating voltage is 13.8 volts.
Q4: What are the dimensions and weight of TS-130SE?
A4: The equipment in measurement:241 mm in width, 94 mm high, 293 mm deep and weighs about 5.6 kg which converts to 12.4 lbs.
Q5: Explain how you are able to maintain good audio quality.
A5: With the equipment comes a speech processor that does video compression while at the same time varies the ALC time constant which together will minimize degradation of sound offered by the equipment.
Q6: Is the use of the TS-130SE mobile bulk zjs ideal?
A6: Yes, the TS-130SE is light and conveniently small making it a very portable tool that can be used in rotary and location deployments.
Q7: Does the TS-130SE come with a noise filter? If so, is it satisfactory?
A7: Yes, the TS-130SE comes with a balanced-gate noise filter and people have reported it to be effective against pulse noise.
Q8: How can I lessen the range for the CW operations?
A8: Making use of additional filters such as the YK-88C and YK-88CN will aid in making the range more selective in the case of CW operations.
Q9: If the TS-130SE does not seem to be working in the way I want it to work, is there a way to fix it?
A9: If the TS-130SE does not respond through normal usage then it is better to seek an authorized dealer as the use of tampering tools without the allowance from the appropriate quarters will result in a loss of warranty.
