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). 74 TS-480 + TH-D7A/ TM-D700A (Transporter) Setup: 1 Configure the TH-D7A or TM-D700A as a "Transporter" and connect all the necessary cables to the TS-480 transceiver. 2 Select a frequency (HF/ 50 MHz band) on the TS-480 transceiver. 3 On the TS-480, press [MENU/ F.LOCK], then turn the MULTI control to access Menu No. 56. 4 Select the same communication parameters that you selected for the TH-D7A or TM-D700A transceiver. 5 Press [MENU/ F.LOCK] to complete. 6 Start the Transporter mode on the TH-D7A or TM-D700A transceiver. TH-D7A (Commander) Setup: 1 Access Menu 4-1 to enter the same callsign that you entered for the Commander (ex: WD6DJY). 2 Access Menu 4-2 to enter the same callsign that you entered for the Transporter (ex: WD6DJY-1). 3 Access Menu 4-3 to select the same CTCSS tone frequency that you selected for the Transporter. 4 Set 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.

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:
1
Configure the TH-D7A or TM-D700A as a
“Transporter” and connect all the necessary
cables to the TS-480 transceiver.
2
Select a frequency (HF/ 50 MHz band) on the
TS-480 transceiver.
3
On the TS-480, press
[MENU/ F.LOCK]
, then turn
the
MULTI
control to access Menu No. 56.
4
Select the same communication parameters that
you selected for the TH-D7A or TM-D700A
transceiver.
5
Press
[MENU/ F.LOCK]
to complete.
6
Start the Transporter mode on the TH-D7A or
TM-D700A transceiver.
TH-D7A (Commander) Setup:
1
Access Menu 4–1 to enter the same callsign that
you entered for the Commander (ex: WD6DJY).
2
Access Menu 4–2 to enter the same callsign that
you entered for the Transporter (ex: WD6DJY-1).
3
Access Menu 4–3 to select the same CTCSS tone
frequency that you selected for the Transporter.
4
Set 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.
