 +===== Remote Control =====
 +
 +The TH-D72 can be used to remotely control a [[public:radio:radio_database:tm-d710| TM-D710]]. This allows remote control of VHF Frequency/Memory Channel, TX power, CTCSS/DCS tones and to enable/disable cross-band repeat.
 +
 +The remote control function uses specific DTMF sequences to instruct the TM-D710. 
 +
 +To enable "Remote Ctrl" mode :
 +
 +  - Select the correct UHF uplink frequency to match the TM-D710
 +  - Turn off the TH-D72
 +  - Hold ''MR'' and ''PTT''
 +  - Turn on the TH-D72
 +
 +The display will show "Mobile Ctrl"
 +
 +{{:public:radio:radio_database:2024-03-29_08.46.00.jpg?600|}}
 +
 +The TM-D710 must also be put in Remote Control mode.
 +
 +On the TM-D710
 +
 +  * select VHF mode on both sides
 +  * turn off the APRS TNC if it's on
 +  * set the left side to the wanted VHF Frequency
 +  * set the right side to the UHF Uplink/control frequency to match the TH-D72
 +    * the first steps are done by selecting ''PM5'' on my TM-D710
 +    * make sure the left side/VHF is the "active" side by clicking the left volume knob
 +  * turn off
 +  * hold ''Rev'' button 
 +  * turn on
 +
 +The TM-D710 should now be in remote mode.
 +
 +To restore normal operation repeat the same sequence of 
 +
 +  * Turn off
 +  * Hold ''Rev''
 +  * Turn on
 +
 +Successful commands sent to the TM-D710 will receive a "pip pip pip" revertive.
 +
 +The commands are send using the TH-D72 keypad, remapped as:
 +
 +|1 = DCS On | 2 = Tone On | 3 = CTCSS On | A = Enter |
 +|4 = DCS Off |5 = Tone Off | 6 = CTCSS Off | B = CTCSS/DCS Tone |
 +|7 = Call Ch. Mode |8 = VFO Mode |9 = Memory Mode | C = Repeater On|
 +|* = Down |0 = Power | # = Up |D = Repeater Off |
 +
 +
 +
 +  * to change VHF Frequency to 145.500
 +    * 8 (VFO Mode)
 +    * A (Enter) 145500 A (Enter)
 +  * to change to memory channel 2
 +    * 9 (Memory Mode)
 +    * A (Enter) 002 A (enter)
 +  * To turn on Cross-Band Repeat
 +    * C 
 +  * To turn off Cross-Band Repeat
 +    * D
 +
 +Once the TM-D710 is in the correct condition - VHF Frequency, tone, power, cross-band repeat - it's possible to restore the TH-D72 to normal operation and use it to access the cross-band repeater and use DTMF tones as normal (eg. to control another system via the repeater). Just exit "Mobile Ctrl" mode on the TH-D72
 +
 +  * Turn off
 +  * hold ''MR'' and ''PTT''
 +  * Turn on
 +
 +You should be back in normal operation mode.
 +
 +Obviously, to control the TM-D710 again (eg to disable cross-band repeat) simply go back to ''Mobile Ctrl'' mode in the same way, and send the required commands.
