TS-990S + TH-D72A/E, TM-D710A/E OR TM-D700A (G)
(TRANSPORTER) CONFIGURATION
1 Configure the TH-D72A/E, TM-D710A/E, or TM-D700A
as a "Transporter" and connect all necessary cables to
the TS-990S transceiver.
2 Select a frequency (HF/ 50 MHz band) on the TS-990S
transceiver.
3 On the TS-990S, be sure that "9600 [bps]" has been
configured in Menu 7-00, "Baud Rate (COM Port)".
Refer to "SELECTING THE BAUD RATE OF THE COM/
USB (REAR PANEL) PORT" for the configuration
method. {page 16-10}
4 On the TS-990S, be sure that "Off" has been
configured in Advanced Menu 24, "MSQ/ PKS Pin
Assignment (COM Connector)".
5 Select the same and common communication
parameters as those configured for the TH-D72A/E,
TM-D710A/E, or TM-D700 transceiver.
6 Configure and start the Transporter mode on the TH-
D72A/E, TM-D710A/E, or TM-D700A transceiver.
Note:
◆ For the 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 TS-990S, you need three cables customized by
you. 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,
TS-990S also toggles the operating data between the main band
and 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.
