6 On the TS-590SG, press [MENU], then turn
MULTI/CH control to select Menu Nos. 80 and 81.
7 Press [M.IN] to select “on”.
• When the TS-590SG transceiver’s squelch
opens, the FM transceiver simultaneously
retransmits the incoming audio signal on the
VHF or UHF frequency.
• When the FM transceiver’s squelch opens, the
TS-590SG transceiver retransmits the incoming
audio signal on the HF/ 50 MHz frequency.
8 Access Menu Nos. 73 and 74 and press [M.IN]/
[SCAN (SG.SEL)] to adjust the input/ output audio
level.
9 To quit the FM repeater operation, disconnect the
interface cable between the transceivers, then
access Menu Nos. 80 and 81 on the TS-590SG
transceiver and select “oFF”.
DX PACKETCLUSTER TUNE
If you have a TH-D72(A/E)/ TM-D710/G(A/E)/ RC-
D710/ TM-D700(A/E), you can connect it to the TS-
590SG transceiver to use the DX PacketCluster Tune
function. Connect the 2 transceivers with a cross-
wired DB-9 cable as shown on page 74.
1 On the TS-590SG, press [MENU], then turn
MULTI/CH control to select Menu No. 67.
2 Press [M.IN]/ [SCAN (SG.SEL)] to select the
same communication baud rate confi gured on the
TH-D72(A/E)/ TM-D710/G(A/E)/ RC-D710/ TM-
D700(A/E).
3 Tune to the DX PacketCluster node frequency on
the TH-D72(A/E)/ TM-D710/G(A/E)/ RC-D710/ TM-
D700(A/E).
4 Using [TNC], enter the APRS mode on the
TM-D710/G/ RC-D710/ TM-D700.
• “APRS” or “TNC APRS” appears on the
TH-D72(A/E)/ TM-D710/G(A/E)/ RC-D710/ TM-
D700(A/E) display.
5 Using [DX], enter the DX PacketCluster mode on
the TH-D72(A/E)/ TM-D710/G(A/E)/ RC-D710/ TM-
D700(A/E).
• Every time the DX station’s information is
reported to the DX PacketCluster node, the
TH-D72(A/E)/ TM-D710/G(A/E)/ RC-D710/
TM-D700(A/E) stores and lists the report to the
memory.
6 Select a desired DX station data with [▲]/ [▼] on
the TH-D72(A/E)/ TM-D710/G(A/E)/ RC-D710/ TM-
D700(A/E).
7 Press [TUNE] on the TM-D710/G(A/E)/ RC-D710
or [MENU] on the TH-D72(A/E) or [MHz] on the
TM-D700(A/E) to transfer the frequency data to the
TS-590SG transceiver.
• If the transferred frequency data is available
on the TS-590SG transceiver, the frequency
data will be overwritten to the current operating
frequency. Otherwise, the operating frequency
of the TS-590SG transceiver remains
unchanged.
For more detailed information on the DX
PacketCluster operation of the TH-D72(A/E)/ TM-
D710/G(A/E)/ RC-D710/ TM-D700(A/E), refer to their
respective instruction manuals.
Note: The fi rmware of the TM-D700(A/E) transceiver must be
version G2.0 or later to use the DX PacketCluster Tune function.
SKY COMMAND SYSTEM II
Sky Command System II allows you to remotely
control the TS-590SG transceiver from a separate
location.
If you have more than 2 TH-D7A/ TH-D72(A/E)/
TM-D710/G(A/E)/ TM-V71A + RC-D710/ TM-D700A
transceivers, you can perform Sky Command System
II operation to remotely control the HF/ 50 MHz band
of your TS-590SG transceiver.
You will use one transceiver (TH-D7A, TH-D72(A/E)/
TM-D710/G(A/E), TM-V71A + RC-D710, or
TM-D700A) as a remote control unit, called a
“Commander”. The other VHF/ UHF transceiver (TH-
D7A, TH-D72(A/E)/ TM-D710/G(A/E), TM-V71A + RC-
D710, or TM-D700A) with the TS-590SG transceiver is
called the “Transporter”. This TH-D7A, TH-D72(A/E)/
TM-D710/G(A/E), TM-V71A + RC-D710, or TM-D700A
transceier will function as an interface between the
Commander (a remote control unit) and the HF/ 50
MHz band of the TS-590SG transceiver.
This system allows you, for example, to watch for and
hunt DX while washing your car, or to operate the HF
transceiver while relaxing in your car, living room, or
patio, instead of actually operating inside your shack.
Note: Operation of Sky Command System II may not been
permitted in certain countries. Check your local laws before
operating.
