SKY COMMAND SYSTEM II (K AND E TYPES MODELS ONLY)The SKY COMMAND SYSTEM II allows remote control of a TS-990S, TS-2000, TS-2000X, TS-B2000, TS-480HX, TS-480SAT, TS-570D, TS-570S, TS-590S, or TS-870S HF transceiver.You will use one transceiver as a control station called “Commander”. The transceiver connected with the HF transceiveris called “Transporter”. It will function as an interface between the Commander and the HF transceiver. This systemallows you, for example, to watch for and hunt DX while washing your car, or to operate the HF transceiver while relaxingin your car, living room, or patio, instead of in your shack.The Commander and Transporter transfer audio and commands as below:SKY CMD-1VHF Freq.UHF Freq.CONNECTING THE TRANSPORTER WITH THE HF TRANSCEIVERIn order to connect the transporter to the HF transceiver, you need to prepare three cables by yourself. For the connectionbetween the PC/ COM connectors on the two transceivers, you may use a commercially available RS-232-C cross-wiredcable (A D-SUB female/male conversion adapter is required.)Note:◆ Operation of SKY COMMAND SYSTEM II may not been permitted in certain countries. Check your local laws before operating.◆ Switch OFF both the Transporter and HF transceiver before making the connection.◆ The Transporter automatically transmits its callsign in Morse at regular intervals because of legal requirements; therefore, transmit side tonemust be output from the HF transceiver.◆ When the Transporter is too close to the HF transceiver, unwanted feedback may cause malfunction.◆ Do not share a regulated power supply between the Transporter and the HF transceiver. Unwanted feedback may cause malfunction.VHF freq.AudioUHF freq.Audio >Control commands >< ResponseControl commands >< ResponseAudioCommander(TM-D710A/E/ TM-D700A/ TH-D72A/E/ TH-D7A)Transporter(TM-D710A/E/ TM-D700A/ TH-D72A/E/ TH-D7A)HF transceiverGND (MIC)GND (MIC)MICMICGND (MIC)MICPG-5GHF transceiverTM-D710HF transceiverHF transceiverTM-D710TM-D710MIC connector onHF transceiverMIC connector onHF transceiverCOM connector onHF transceiverTo EXT SP jackTo 3.5 mm (1/8")speaker jackTo 3.5 mm (1/8")speaker jack(f) (m)
