It is possible to connect the transceiver such that both methods are used. FRONT PANEL Refer to the diagrams below: FIGURE 2.1 Front Panel Controls – TDFM-7000 Transceiver TDFM-7000 Installation & Operating Instructions TiL 05RE375 Rev n/c Issue 13...
For example, programming a soft key to CHAN would be redundant since there is already a channel function using the knobs. Using the CHAN soft key would also not update the channel number on the display, causing some confusion. TDFM-7000 Installation & Operating Instructions TiL 05RE375 Rev n/c Issue 13...
Pressing the BAND key will select the next band in sequence. A solid arrow will indicate which band is selected. If the TDFM-7000 audio routing (see the configuration menu) is set up in single mode, the band key also acts as the transmit select.

It is possible to use Motorola’s Customer Programming Software (CPS™) to alter the default keypad settings of the TDFM-7000 radio. However if custom key settings are chosen it will not be possible for Technisonic to help the Pilot or other Radio User through operational difficulties.
LED on the right side of each line indicates transmit. A solid arrow on the first character indicates which band is selected.

Service (see following page). A Motorola Radio Interface Box (RIB) is required to connect the computer to the TDFM-7000 if Type I modules are installed. Each band in the TDFM- 7000 is considered a Type I (XTS-3000) portable by the CPS™ software. To program a band in the transceiver, it must be selected by pressing the BAND key before running the CPS™.

2.17 CONFIGURATION MENU Some features of the TDFM-7000 transceiver can be configured to the user’s preference. To enter the configuration menu, turn the unit on while simultaneously pressing the F4, ESW and TSW keys. Hold the keys until the display reads ‘Configuration Menu’. The following menu items can be changed or modified.
Follow the software instructions. During the flash procedure, the software will ask you to turn off and on the radio, use the RESET soft-key, do not turn off the transceiver. TDFM-7000 Installation & Operating Instructions TiL 05RE375 Rev n/c Issue 13 2-12...

Determine if the image frequency for the VHF Comm falls within the range of the TDFM- 7000. If so, select a set of frequencies that will cause the TDFM-7000 to be set as close as possible to the image frequency. Any one of the many possible sets will suffice. Record those values in the spaces provided in the following chart.
Page 39
Determine if the image frequency for the VOR/ILS Nav falls within the range of the TDFM- 7000. If so, select two sets of frequencies that will cause the TDFM-7000 to be set as close as possible to the image frequency. Choose one set in the localizer frequency range and one in the VOR frequency range.
