PROGRAMMING CALLSIGNS

The built-in TNCs of the Commander and Transporter
communicate each other when you send a control
command from the Commander. So you must program
different callsigns (9 digits max.) on these transceivers as
the IDs of the TNCs.
Use the following Menu Nos. to program callsigns:
On Commander
COMMANDER
700
CALLSIGN
TRANSPORTER
701
CALLSIGN
On Transporter
COMMANDER

1 Access Menu 700 or 701, then press the Tuning
control.
• The callsign entry field appears; the first digit blinks.
2 Rotate the Tuning control to select a character.
• You can enter 0 to 9, A to Z, and –.
3 Press [→].
• The cursor moves to the next digit.
4 Repeat steps 2 and 3 to enter up to 9 digits.
[BACK]: Cancels entry of a callsign.
[←]
: Causes the cursor to move backward.
[INS]: Inserts the currently selected character.
[CLR]: Deletes the digit at which the cursor is blinking.
5 Press the Tuning control to complete the setting.
6 Press [ESC] to exit Menu mode.
The keypad on the Microphone also is available to
enter alphanumeric characters in step 2.

PROGRAMMING A TONE FREQUENCY

On receiving a tone from the Commander, the Transporter
causes the HF transceiver to enter Transmit mode. On
both the Commander and Transporter, access Menu 702
and select the desired, same tone frequency.
