WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL (TH-F6A ONLY)
If you also have a KENWOOD multi-band mobile
transceiver, you can control one of its bands by
sending DTMF tones from this handy transceiver.
You will find this function useful when you want to
control your mobile transceiver from a location
outside your vehicle.
Note:
You can remotely control only the mobile transceivers that have
both the DTSS and Remote Control functions.
The FCC rules permit you to send control codes only on the 440
MHz band.
