OPERATION
The crossband repeater function uses two frequency
bands to receive and transmit signals. When a signal is
received on one band, it is retransmitted on the other
band.
1 Select the transmit and receive frequencies in VHF
and UHF ranges for the TM-D710A or TM-D700A (G)
transceiver.
2 Be sure that the “PTT” icon is visible on the crossband
repeater frequency of the TM-D710A or TM-D700A (G)
transceiver.
3 Select the same frequency for the terminal transceiver.
4 Select a HF/ 50 MHz frequency on the TS-990S
transceiver.
5 Adjust the squelch threshold level so that audio lines
for both the TS-990S and TM-D710A or TM-D700A (G)
transceiver will mute.
6 Access Menu Nos 7-06, "ACC 2: Audio Input Level",
and 7-10, "ACC 2: Audio Output Level", to optimize the
input and output audio level via the ACC 2 connector
by pressing [-] (F4) or [+] (F5).
7 To quit the FM repeater operation, access Advanced
Menus 14, "PKS Polarity Reverse", and 15, "TX
Inhibit While Busy". Refer to "INHIBITING THE
TRANSMISSION DURING BUSY (SQUELCH
OPENING)" and "REVERSING THE PKS SIGNAL
POLARITY" and select "Off" by pressing [-] (F4) or [+]
(F5).
SKY COMMAND SYSTEM II
SKY COMMAND SYSTEM II allows you to remotely
control the TS-990S transceiver from a separate location.
If you have two or more TH-D72A/E, TM-D710A/E,
and TM-D700A transceivers, you can perform SKY
COMMAND SYSTEM II operation to remotely control the
HF/ 50 MHz band of your TS-990S transceiver.
You will use one transceiver (TH-D72A/E, TM-D710A/E,
or TM-D700A) as a remote control unit, called a
“Commander”. The other VHF/UHF transceiver (TH-
D72A/E, TM-D710A/E, or TM-D700A) with the TS-990S
transceiver is called the “Transporter”. This TH-D72A/E,
TM-D710A/E, or TM-D700A transceiver will function as an
interface between the Commander (a remote control unit)
and the HF/ 50 MHz band of the TS-990S 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:
◆ Operating of SKY COMMAND SYSTEM II may not be permitted in
certain countries. Check your local laws before operating.
◆ Refer to the instruction manual supplied with the TH-D72A/E,
TM-D710A/E or TM-D700A (G) transceiver for connection,
configuration and operation.
◆ This function can be used with the TM-D700A transceiver with the
firmware version G2.0 or later.

PREPARATION
Although you can use the TH-D72A/E, TM-D710A/E, or
TM-D700A transceiver as a “Commander” (an external
remote control unit), the following procedure shows how to
configure your TS-990S and TH-D72A/E, TM-D710A/E, or
TM-D700A transceiver as a “Commander”.
■ Starting SKY COMMAND SYSTEM II operation
After you have completed the configuration of the
following, you can start SKY COMMAND SYSTEM II
operation. Without programming these parameters, you
cannot use SKY COMMAND SYSTEM II.
