USING TH-D7A AS A COMMANDER

To use a TH-D7A transceiver as a ÒCommanderÓ (an external remote control unit), follow the steps below. Basically, it is the same as using a TM-D700A as a ÒCommanderÓ (described on the previous page).

TS-480 + TH-D7A/ TM-D700A (Transporter) Setup:

1Configure the TH-D7A or TM-D700A as a ÒTransporterÓ and connect all the necessary cables to the TS-480 transceiver.

2Select a frequency (HF/ 50 MHz band) on the TS-480 transceiver.

3On the TS-480, press [MENU/ F.LOCK], then turn the MULTI control to access Menu No. 56.

4Select the same communication parameters that you selected for the TH-D7A or TM-D700A transceiver.

5Press [MENU/ F.LOCK] to complete.

6Start the Transporter mode on the TH-D7A or TM-D700A transceiver.

TH-D7A (Commander) Setup:

1Access Menu 4Ð1 to enter the same callsign that you entered for the Commander (ex: WD6DJY).

2Access Menu 4Ð2 to enter the same callsign that you entered for the Transporter (ex: WD6DJY-1).

3Access Menu 4Ð3 to select the same CTCSS tone frequency that you selected for the Transporter.

4Set the same frequencies that you selected for the ÒTransporterÓ for the VHF and UHF bands.

Note: Refer to Chapter 19, Sky Command II, of the TH-D7A instruction manual for details on how to enter the callsign and CTCSS tone frequency.

CONTROL OPERATION

First, switch the TS-480 and TH-D7A or TM-D700A transceivers (Transporter) ON. Configure the TH-D7A or TM-D700A to enter the ÒTransporterÓ mode.

Then, access Menu 4Ð4 on the TH-D7A and select

ÒCOMMANDERÓ. ÒPUSH [0] KEY TO START COMMANDER!!Ó appears.

Press [0] on the TH-D7A to start Sky Command II mode.

When in Sky Command II mode, the keys of the TH-D7A (Commander) will function as described below. Only [LAMP], [MONI], and the VOL control functions will not change.

Each time you press the desired key, the Commander will automatically enter Transmission mode and send the corresponding control command to the Transporter.
