8215 OPERATOR CONVENIENCESWIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL(K-type ONLY)If you have a Kenwood TH-D7A handheld transceiver,you can use it to remotely control the 144 MHz and440 MHz bands of the TS-2000(X) transceiver, usingFM mode. You will be controlling one band on theTS-2000(X) transceiver while sending DTMF tones tothe other band from the remote control transceiver.This function is useful, for example, when you want tocontrol the VHF/ UHF FM repeater function of theTS-2000(X) transceiver from a location outside yourhome or vehicle.Note:uTo remotely control the TS-2000(X), you can also use a handheldtransceiver which does not have a remote control function, but aDTMF function. You must, however, manually send DTMF tonesfor control code strings. Skip steps 1 and 3 in “PREPARATION”,below.uFCC rules permit you to send control codes only on the 440 MHzband.PREPARATIONAssuming that the 144 MHz band of the TS-2000transceiver will be controlled.On the control transceiver:1 Program a 3-digit secret number.• If you are using a TH-D7A, see “WIRELESSREMOTE CONTROL” in its instruction manual.2 Select the transmit frequency on the 440 MHzband.3 Enter the Remote Control mode.On the TS-2000 transceiver:4 Access Menu 61C, and select the same secretnumber that you selected in step 1.5 Select the receive frequency on the 440 MHzband of the sub-receiver.• Mate this frequency with the transmit frequencyon the control transceiver.6 Select the 144 MHz band as the TX band orControl band for the main transceiver.7 To have the TS-2000(X) transceiver send a controlacknowledgment to the handheld, access Menu61D and select “ON”.• DTMF tones which represent the secretnumber will be used as an acknowledgment.8 Access Menu 61E and select “ON”.• “ ” appears when the TS-2000(X) entersRemote Control mode.CONTROL OPERATIONWhen in Remote Control mode, the DTMF keys of thecontrol transceiver will function as shown in the tablebelow. Each time you press the desired key, thetransceiver will automatically enter transmit mode andsend the corresponding command to the mobile.Note: If you are using a transceiver without a remote controlfunction, manually send “AXXX#YA#” where “XXX” is your 3-digitsecret number and “Y” is a single-digit control command. If you donot add ”A#” on the end, you can skip sending “AXXX#” next time;however, the mobile may be accidentally controlled by other stations.1 NOSCD 9 RM2 NOENOT 0 WOL3 NOSSCTC A RETNE4 FFOSCD B LESENOT5 FFOENOT C NORETAEPER6 FFOSSCTC D FFORETAEPER7 LLAC NWOD8 OFV # PUTo change the transmit/ receive frequency:([VFO] á [ENTER] á [0] ~ [9] (enter the necessarydigits) á [ENTER]) or ([VFO] á [UP]/ [DOWN])To recall a memory channel:([MR] á [ENTER] á [0] ~ [9] (enter the necessarydigits) á [ENTER]) or ([MR] á [UP]/ [DOWN])To change the tone (or CTCSS) frequency:([TONE SEL] á [0] ~ [9] (enter 2 digits; ex.
