8315 OPERATOR CONVENIENCESSKY COMMAND II + (K-type ONLY)The Sky Command II+ allows you to remotely controlthe TS-2000(X) transceiver from a separate location.Since the TS-2000(X) transceiver has an independentVHF and UHF sub-receiver in addition to the maintransceiver, the sub-receiver can work as a“Transporter” without requiring another VHF/UHFtransceiver.So, if you already have Kenwood’s TH-D7A handheldor TM-D700A mobile transceiver, you can immediatelystart enjoying Sky Command II+ features to remotelycontrol the HF/ 50 MHz band of your TS-2000(X).Or, if you have a friend who has another TS-2000(X),you can also use his/her TS-2000(X) as a“Commander” (a remote unit) to control the HF/50 MHz band of your TS-2000(X) at home, using VHFand UHF bands.You will use one transceiver as a remote control unit,called a “Commander”. The VHF/ UHF sub-receiverin the TS-2000(X) transceiver is called the“Transporter”. It will function as an interface betweenthe Commander and the HF/ 50 MHz band of theTS-2000(X) main transceiver.This system allows you, for example, to watch for andhunt DX while washing your car, or to operate the HFtransceiver while relaxing in your car, living room, orpatio, instead of actually operating inside your shack.SKY COMMAND II + DIAGRAMPFATT PRE-AMPVOX PROCSENDCH1 MICCWFSKLSBUSBFMAMAT TUNEPOWERHF TRANSCEIVER TS-570DPHONES 1CH22CH33ANT4REC5FINE6NB7AGC/TONE8REV9CLRF.LOCK0 ENTMICPWRKEYDELAY MENU 1MHzSPLITM/VDOWN UPMRTF-SETA=BSCAN M>VFO M.INM.INFILTERCW TUNEB.C.N.R.A/BCLEARRITXITRIT/XITIF SHIFT SQLCH 4 60 102 8AF RFLOWCUTHIGHDSP SLOPELOW4 60 102 8+–VHF freq.Commander TransporterAudio AudioUHF freq.AudiosControl commandstResponseControl commandstResponsePREPARATIONAlthough you can use either a TM-D700A, a TH-D7A,or another TS-2000(X) transceiver as a “Commander”(an external remote control unit), the followingprocedure shows how to set up your TS-2000 as a“Transporter” at a base station and the TM-D700A asa “Commander”.TS-2000 (Transporter) Setup:1 Press [MENU], then turn the MULTI/ CH control toaccess Menu No. 62A.2 Press [SUB] then enter your callsign (ex: WD6DJY)as a “Commander” callsign, using [+]/[–] or theMULTI/ CH control.
