Wireless Operation (K Type Models Only); Preparation - Kenwood TM-V71A Instruction Manual

WIRELESS OPERATION (K TYPE MODELS ONLY)

If you also have a compatible Kenwood handy transceiver, you may use it as a
remote control for this mobile transceiver. You will control one band on the mobile
while sending DTMF tones to the other band from the handheld. This function is
useful, for example, when you want to control the mobile from a location outside
your vehicle.
Note:
u As a remote control, you can also use a handy transceiver which does not have a remote
control function but a DTMF function. However, you must manually send DTMF tones for
control code strings. Skip steps 1 and 3 in "PREPARATION".
u The FCC rules permit you to send control codes only on the 440 MHz band.

PREPARATION
