SKY COMMAND SYSTEM II
Sky Command System II allows you to remotely
control the TS-590S transceiver from a separate
location.
If you have more than 2 TH-D7A/ TH-D72A/E/
TM-D710A/ TM-V71A + RC-D710/ TM-D700A
transceivers (K type), you can perform Sky Command
System II operation to remotely control the HF/ 50
MHz band of your TS-590S transceiver.
You will use one transceiver (TH-D7A, TH-D72A/E,
TM-D710A, TM-V71A + RC-D710, or TM-D700A) as a
remote control unit, called a “Commander”. The other
VHF/ UHF transceiver (TH-D7A, TH-D72A/E,
TM-D710A, TM-V71A + RC-D710, or TM-D700A) with
the TS-590S transceiver is called the “Transporter”.
This TH-D7A, TH-D72A/E, TM-D710A, 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-590S
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.

PREPARATION
Although you can use a TH-D7A, TH-D72A/E,
TM-D710A, TM-V71A + RC-D710, or TM-D700A
transceiver as a “Commander” (an external remote
control unit), the following procedure shows how
to set up your TS-590S and TH-D7A, TH-D72A/E,
TM-D710A, TM-V71A + RC-D710, or TM-D700A
transceivers as a “Transporter” at a base station and
the TM-D710A, TM-V71A + RC-D710, or TM-D700A
transceiver as a “Commander”.
Starting Sky Command System II operation:
After you have completed setting up the following, you
can start Sky Command System II operation. Without
programming these parameters, you cannot use Sky
Command System II.
TS-590S + TH-D7A/ TH-D72A/E/ TM-D700A/
TM-D710A/ TM-V71A + RC-D710 (Transporter)
Setup:
1 Configure the TH-D7A, TH-D72A/E, TM-D710A,
TM-V71A + RC-D710, or TM-D700A as a
“Transporter” and connect all the necessary cables
to the TS-590S transceiver.
2 Select a frequency (HF/ 50 MHz band) on the
TS-590S transceiver.
3 On the TS-590S, press [MENU], then turn MULTI/
CH control to select Menu No. 61.
4 Press [M.IN]/ [SCAN (SG.SEL] to select the the
desired communication speed.
5 Select the same communication parameters to
match the TH-D7A, TH-D72A/E, TM-D710A,
TM-V71A + RC-D710, or TM-D700A transceiver
6 Press [MENU] to exit Menu mode.
7 Configure and start the Transporter mode on the
TH-D7A, TH-D72A/E, TM-D710A, TM-V71A +
RC-D710, or TM-D700A transceiver.
• Refer to the respective instruction manuals of
the TH-D7A, TH-D72A/E, TM-D710A, TM-V71A
+ RC-D710, or TM-D700A for information on
how to connect, configure, and operate the
transceivers for Sky Command System II.
