“TNC APRS” appears on the TM-D700 transceiver.

5Press [F] (1 s), [DX] on the TM-D700 transceiver.

6Select a desired DX station data with [c]/ [d] on the TM-D700 transceiver.

7Press [MHz] on the TM-D700 transceiver to transfer the frequency data to the TS-480 transceiver.

If the transferred frequency data is available on the TS-480 transceiver, the frequency data will be overwritten to the current operating frequency. Otherwise, the operating frequency of the TS-480 transceiver remains unchanged.

For more detailed operation on the DX PacketCluster operation of the TM-D700 transceiver, refer to page 6 of the TM-D700 instruction manual (Specialized Communications).

Note: The firmware of the TM-D700 transceiver must be version G2.0 or later to use the DX PacketCluster Tune function.

CROSSBAND REPEATER

If you have a TM-D700 transceiver, you can connect the TM-D700 transceiver to the TS-480 transceiver to use the Crossband repeater function. Connect the 2 transceivers with a mini DIN cable (6-pin) as shown below.
