Note:
◆ For SKY COMMAND SYSTEM II operation, use the main band for
operation. You cannot control the operation in the sub band.
◆ To connect the TH-D72A/E, TM-D710A/E, or TM-D700A
transceiver to the TS-990S, you need three customized cables.
Refer to the instruction manual supplied with the respective
transceiver for the wiring diagram.
◆ On the TS-990S, SKY COMMAND SYSTEM II cannot control the
Dual Channel Memory. You can do only Simplex operation using
Memory Channel.
◆ The transceiver power cannot be turned ON or OFF while in
Standby State Low Power Consumption.
◆ Each time a "Commander" toggles between VFO A and VFO B, the
TS-990S also toggles the operating data between the main band
and the sub band.
Even if the "Commander" toggles between VFO A and VFO B
resulting to swap the operating data of the "Commander", "VFO A"
always appears on the display of the "Commander".
In Split operation, VFO A is used for reception and VFO B is used
for transmission.
