15 OPERATOR CONVENIENCES WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL (K-type ONLY) If you have a Kenwood TH-D7A/ TH-D72A handheld Atransceiver, you can use it to remotely control the 144 MHz and 440 MHz bands of the TS-2000(X) transceiver, using FM mode. You will be controlling one band on the TS-2000(X) transceiver while sending DTMF tones to the other band from the remote control transceiver. This function is useful, for example, when you want to control the VHF/ UHF FM repeater function of the TS-2000(X) transceiver from a location outside your home or vehicle. Note: ◆ To remotely control the TS-2000(X), you can also use a handheld transceiver which does not have a remote control function, but a DTMF function. You must, however, manually send DTMF tones for control code strings. Skip steps 1 and 3 in "PREPARATION", below. ◆ FCC rules permit you to send control codes only on the 440 MHz band. PREPARATION Assuming that the 144 MHz band of the TS-2000 transceiver will be controlled. On the control transceiver: 1 Program a 3-digit secret number. • If you are using a TH-D7A or TH-D72A, see "WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL" in its instruction manual. 2 Select the transmit frequency on the 440 MHz band. 3 Enter the Remote Control mode. On the TS-2000 transceiver: 4 Access Menu 61C, and select the same secret number that you selected in step 1. 5 Select the receive frequency on the 440 MHz band of the sub-receiver. • Mate this frequency with the transmit frequency on the control transceiver. 6 Select the 144 MHz band as the TX band or Control band for the main transceiver. 7 To have the TS-2000(X) transceiver send a control acknowledgment to the handheld, access Menu 61D and select "ON". • DTMF tones which represent the secret number will be used as an acknowledgment. 8 Access Menu 61E and select "ON". • " " appears when the TS-2000(X) enters Remote Control mode. CONTROL OPERATION When in Remote Control mode, the DTMF keys of the control transceiver will function as shown in the table below. Each time you press the desired key, the transceiver will automatically enter transmit mode and send the corresponding command to the mobile. Note: If you are using a transceiver without a remote control function, manually send "AXXX#YA#" where "XXX" is your 3-digit secret number and "Y" is a single-digit control command. If you do not add "A#" on the end, you can skip sending "AXXX#" next time; however, the mobile may be accidentally controlled by other stations. 1 DCS ON 9 MR 2 TONE ON 0 LOW 3 CTCSS ON A ENTER 4 DCS OFF B TONE SEL 5 TONE OFF C REPEATER ON 6 CTCSS OFF D REPEATER OFF 7 CALL DOWN 8 VFO # UP To change the transmit/ receive frequency: ([VFO] ➡ [ENTER] ➡ [0] ~ [9] (enter the necessary digits) ➡ [ENTER]) or ([VFO] ➡ [UP]/ [DOWN]) To recall a memory channel: ([MR] ➡ [ENTER] ➡ [0] ~ [9] (enter the necessary digits) ➡ [ENTER]) or ([MR] ➡ [UP]/ [DOWN]) To change the tone (or CTCSS) frequency: ([TONE SEL] ➡ [0] ~ [9] (enter 2 digits; ex. [0], [5]) ➡ [TONE SEL]) • Use Nos. 01 to 38 shown in the table on page 35. • First activate the Tone or CTCSS function. You can select a separate tone frequency for the Tone and CTCSS functions. Note: While in Wireless Remote Control mode, you can perform only the following operations on the TS-2000(X) transceiver. • Transmit • Acknowledge ON/ OFF • Secret Number Change • Partial/ Full Reset 82
