WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL (TH-F6A ONLY)

If you also have a KENWOOD multi-band mobile transceiver, you can control one of its bands by sending DTMF tones from this portable transceiver. You will find this function useful when you want to control your mobile transceiver from a location outside your vehicle.

Note:

◆You can remotely control only mobile transceivers that have both the DTSS and Remote Control functions.

◆The FCC rules permit you to send control codes only on the 70 cm band.
