Sky Command II allows you to remotely control the TS-590S transceiver from a separate location.
If you have more than 2 TH-D7A/ TH-D72A/E/ TM-D710A/ TM-V71A + RC-D710/ TM-D700A transceivers (K type), you can perform Sky Command
IIoperation to remotely control the HF/ 50 MHz band of your TS-590S transceiver.
You will use one transceiver (TH-D7A, TH-D72A/E, TM-D710A, TM-V71A + RC-D710, or TM-D700A) as a remote control unit, called a “Commander”. The other VHF/ UHF transceiver (TH-D7A, TH-D72A/E, TM-D710A, TM-V71A + RC-D710, or TM-D700A) with the TS-590S transceiver is called the “Transporter”. This TH-D7A, TH-D72A/E, TM-D710A, TM-V71A + RC-D710, or TM-D700A transceier will function as an interface between the Commander (a remote control unit) and the HF/ 50 MHz band of the TS-590S transceiver.
This system allows you, for example, to watch for and hunt DX while washing your car, or to operate the HF transceiver while relaxing in your car, living room, or patio, instead of actually operating inside your shack.
Note: Operation of Sky Command II may not been permitted in certain countries. Check your local laws before operating.

Although you can use a TH-D7A, TH-D72A/E, TM-D710A, TM-V71A + RC-D710, or TM-D700A transceiver as a “Commander” (an external remote control unit), the following procedure shows how to set up your TS-590S and TH-D7A, TH-D72A/E, TM-D710A, TM-V71A + RC-D710, or TM-D700A transceivers as a “Transporter” at a base station and the TM-D710A, TM-V71A + RC-D710, or TM-D700A transceiver as a “Commander”.

TM-D710A/ TM-V71A + RC-D710 (Transporter)
Setup:
1Configure the TH-D7A, TH-D72A/E, TM-D710A, TM-V71A + RC-D710, or TM-D700A as a “Transporter” and connect all the necessary cables to the TS-590S transceiver.
2Select a frequency (HF/ 50 MHz band) on the TS-590S transceiver.
3On the TS-590S, press [MENU], then turn MULTI/ CH control to select Menu No. 61.
4Press [M.IN]/ [SCAN (SG.SEL] to select the the desired communication speed.
5Select the same communication parameters to match the TH-D7A, TH-D72A/E, TM-D710A, TM-V71A + RC-D710, or TM-D700A transceiver
6Press [MENU] to exit Menu mode.
7Configure and start the Transporter mode on the TH-D7A, TH-D72A/E, TM-D710A, TM-V71A + RC-D710, or TM-D700A transceiver.
•Refer to the respective instruction manuals of the TH-D7A, TH-D72A/E, TM-D710A, TM-V71A + RC-D710, or TM-D700A for information on how to connect, configure, and operate the transceivers for Sky Command II.
