Kenwood TH-D72
Remote Control
The TH-D72 can be used to remotely control a 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
MRandPTT - Turn on the TH-D72
The display will show “Mobile Ctrl”
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
PM5on my TM-D710
- turn off
- hold
Revbutton - 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
MRandPTT - 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.
