DX PACKETCLUSTERS MONITOR

DX PacketClusters are networks which consist of nodes
and stations who are interested in DXing and contesting. If
one station finds a DX station on the air, he (or she) sends
a notice to his (or her) node. Then this node passes the
information to all its local stations besides another node.
This transceiver can display received DX information and
hold the latest information on up to 10 DX stations. Use
this function to monitor the latest DX information in your
local area. You cannot send DX information to a node,
using the function.

■ Connecting TM-D710 with the HF Transceiver

In order to connect TM-D710 to the HF transceiver,
you need to prepare three cables by yourself. For
the connection between the PC/ COM connectors on
the two transceivers, you may use a commercially
available RS-232-C cross-wired cable.
• A D-SUB female/male conversion adapter is required.
