USING TH-D7A AS A COMMANDER

To use a TH-D7A transceiver as a “Commander” (an

external remote control unit), follow the steps below.

Basically, it is the same as using a TM-D700A as a

“Commander” (described on the previous page).

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

1Configure the TH-D7A or TM-D700A as a

“Transporter” 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 4–1 to enter the same callsign that

you entered for the Commander (ex: WD6DJY).

2Access Menu 4–2 to enter the same callsign that

you entered for the Transporter (ex: WD6DJY-1).

3Access Menu 4–3 to select the same CTCSS tone

frequency that you selected for the Transporter.

4Set the same frequencies that you selected for the

“Transporter” 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 “Transporter”

mode.

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

“COMMANDER”. “PUSH [0] KEY TO START

COMMANDER!!” 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.
