OPERATING THROUGH REPEATERS

Repeaters are often installed and maintained by radio clubs, sometimes with the cooperation of local businesses involved in the

communications industry.

Compared to simplex communication, you can usually transmit

over much greater distances by using a repeater. Repeaters

are typically located on mountain tops or other elevated

locations. They generally operate at higher ERP (Effective

Radiated Power) than a typical station. This combination

of elevation and high ERP allows communications over

considerable distances.

TX: 144.725 MHz

TX tone: 88.5 Hz

RX: 145.325 MHz

TX: 144.725 MHz

TX tone: 88.5 Hz

RX: 145.325 MHz

■ Selecting an Offset Frequency

REPEATER ACCESS

The offset frequency is the value which the transmit

frequency will be offset from the receive frequency. The

default offset frequency on the 144 MHz band is 600 kHz for

all type versions. The default on the 430/440 MHz band is 5

MHz.

Most repeaters use a receive and transmit frequency pair with

a standard or non-standard offset (odd-split). In addition, some

repeaters must receive a tone from the transceiver in order

to gain access to the repeater. For details, consult your local

repeater reference.

Select your desired band (A or B).

■ Selecting an Offset Direction

Enter Menu mode and access Menu 400.

The offset direction allows your transmit frequency to be

higher (+) or lower (–) than the receive frequency.

Select your desired band (A or B).

Press [F], [SHIFT] to select an offset direction.

•

Each time you press [SHIFT], the offset direction changes as

follows:

Set the appropriate offset frequency value.

•

The selectable range is from 00.00 MHz to 29.95 MHz, in

steps of 50 kHz.

Simplex operation ➡ + ➡ – ➡ Simplex operation

Note: After changing the offset frequency, the new offset frequency will

also be used by Automatic Repeater Offset.

■ Activating the Tone Function

To turn the Tone function on:

Select your desired band (A or B).

Press [TONE] to turn the Tone function ON.

•

Each press of [TONE] changes the selection as follows:

•

If you are using an E type transceiver, when operating on the

430 MHz band, the offset direction changes as follows:

Tone ( ) ➡ CTCSS ( ) ➡ DCS (

: default) ➡ Off (no display).

) ➡ Cross Tone (

•

The icon appears on the display when the tone

function is ON.

Simplex operation ➡ + ➡ – ➡ = (–7.6 MHz) ➡ Simplex

operation

If the offset transmit frequency falls outside the allowable

range, transmitting is inhibited. Use one of the following

methods to bring the transmit frequency within the band

limits:

•

Move the receive frequency further inside the band.

Change the offset direction.

Note: When accessing a repeater that requires a 1750 Hz tone, you do not

need to activate the Tone function. Simply press the key assigned to the

1750 Hz tone {Menu 906 ~ 911} to transmit the tone.

Note: While using an odd-split memory channel or transmitting, you cannot

change the offset direction.

Note:

TRANSMITTING A 1750 Hz TONE

◆

Pressing [PTT] will cause the

icon to stop blinking.

ASC does not function if you are using simplex operation.

ASC does not function while scanning.

Most repeaters in Europe require that a transceiver transmit a

1750 Hz tone. On a E type model, simply pressing Microphone

[CALL] causes it to transmit a 1750 Hz tone. It is also possible to

program [1750] on the front panel as a PF key for transmitting a

1750 Hz tone.

Activating ASC while using Reverse will switch the Reverse function OFF.

If you recall a Memory channel or the Call channel, and those channels are

set up with the Reverse function switched ON, the ASC will switch OFF.

◆

You cannot use ASC when the built-in TNC is turned ON.

ASC causes received signals to be momentarily intermitted every 3

seconds.

Note: The transceiver continuously transmits a 1750 Hz tone until you release

Microphone [CALL] or PF key(1750).

Some repeaters in Europe must receive continuous signals for a

certain period of time, following a 1750 Hz tone. This transceiver

is also capable of remaining in the transmit mode for 2 seconds

after transmitting a 1750 Hz tone.

TONE FREQUENCY ID

This function scans through all tone frequencies to identify the

incoming tone frequency on a received signal. You can use this

function to ﬁnd which tone frequency is required by your local

repeater.

Enter Menu mode and access Menu 402.

Press [TONE] to switch the Tone function ON.

•

The icon appears on the display.

Press [F], [T.SEL] (1s) to run the Tone Frequency ID scan.

•

The icon blinks and SCAN appears on the display.

Set the tone to ON or OFF.

Note: While remaining in the transmit mode, the transceiver does not

continuously transmit a 1750 Hz tone.

REVERSE FUNCTION

After setting a separate receive and transmit frequency, you

can exchange these frequencies using the Reverse function.

This allows you to manually check the strength of signals you

receive directly from other stations, while using a repeater. If

the station’s signal is strong, move to a simplex frequency to

continue the contact and free up the repeater.

•

To reverse the scan direction, turn the Tuning control clockwise

(upward scan) or counterclockwise (downward scan).

•

To quit the function, press [ESC].

When the tone frequency is identiﬁed, the identiﬁed frequency

appears on the display and blinks. Press any key other than

the Tuning control while the identiﬁed frequency is blinking, to

resume scanning.

Press [REV] to turn the Reverse function ON or OFF.

•

When the Reverse function is ON, the icon will appear on the

display.

Press the Tuning control to program the identiﬁed frequency

in place of the currently set tone frequency.

Note:

•

The Tone function will remain ON. You can press [TONE] to

◆

If the transmit frequency is outside the allowable transmit frequency range

when using Reverse, pressing [PTT] will cause an error tone to sound and

transmission will be inhibited.

switch the Tone function OFF.

Press [ESC] if you do not want to program the identiﬁed

frequency.

◆

If the receive frequency is outside the receive frequency range when using

Reverse, an error tone will sound and Reverse will not operate.

The ARO (Automatic Repeater Offset) will not function when Reverse is

ON.

You cannot switch Reverse ON or OFF while transmitting.

AUTOMATIC SIMPLEX CHECKER (ASC)

While using a repeater, ASC periodically monitors the strength

of signals you receive directly from the other stations. If the

station’s signal is strong enough to allow direct contact without a

repeater, the icon blinks.

Press [REV] (1s) to turn the ASC ON.

•

When the ASC is ON, the icon will appear on the display.

•

While direct contact is possible, without the use of a repeater, the

icon will begin blinking.

To exit ASC, press [REV].

PROGRAMMABLE MEMORY (PM)

Programmable Memory (PM) stores virtually all settings currently set on the transceiver. This transceiver provides 5 PM channels to

store 5 sets of transceiver conﬁgurations. Later, you can quickly recall any one of these channels, depending on the operations you

have in mind or the operating environment.

The following programmable settings cannot be stored:

APPLICATION EXAMPLES

•

Memory name

The following are examples of how you might use Programmable

Memory. These examples may not represent applications useful

to you, but you will understand the ﬂexibility of this function.

Memory channel lockout

Channel Display mode

Locked-band/ Cross-band Repeater ON/OFF ¹

Repeater mode ¹

Situation: You share your transceiver with other members

in your family or club. However, each individual has personal

preferences for how they like to set various functions. You

have to keep changing many settings each time you use the

transceiver.

Repeater hold ¹

Repeater ID transmit ¹

Registered repeater ID ¹

Wireless remote control ¹

Answer back ¹

Solution: Because 5 PM channels are available, up to 5

persons can separately program the transceiver and store

their customized environment. Then each person can quickly

change to his or her favorite settings, simply by recalling a PM

channel. It is too much trouble to change back the settings after

somebody else has reconﬁgured them. So this application may

avoid having a feature-rich transceiver but never using many

useful features.

Remote control ID ¹

Key lock

Power on password ²

Memory channel/ Call channel/ Program scan memory

Weather channel ¹

Situation: While operating mobile on the way to work every

morning, you prefer a silent transceiver that does not interrupt

the morning calm. In addition, you feel that a bright display

is useless in the sunlight. At night when driving home, you

realize the Beep function truly does serve a purpose and you

acknowledge it is nice to see a bright display after dark.

DTMF memory

EchoLink memory

COM port speed

Solution: In 2 PM channels, store the same operating data such

as frequency, offset, tone, etc, and store different settings for the

Display brightness and Beep functions. Then you can quickly

recall the best settings for day or night operation.

PC port speed

Microphone sensitivity

10 MHz mode ²

Input/output level (DATA terminal) ²

SQC data output logic ²

Situation: You cannot ﬁgure out how to exit the current

transceiver mode.

TM-D710GA only

Solution: Simply recall PM channel 1, which contains an exact

copy of the transceiver default environment. You will not lose the

contents of any memory channels.

Can be set only by using the MCP-6A software.

SCAN

Scan is a useful feature for hands-off monitoring of your favorite frequencies. Becoming comfortable with all types of Scan will increase

your operating efﬁciency.

This transceiver provides the following types of scans:

Scan Type

VFO Scan

Scan Range

Scans all frequencies on the current band.

Memory Scan

Scans all frequencies stored in the Memory channels.

Scans the frequencies in the Memory channels which belong to the group you have

speciﬁed.

Group Scan

Program Scan

MHz Scan

Scans all frequencies within the programmed range, on the current band.

Scans all frequencies within a 1 MHz range from the originating frequency.

Scans the Call channel as well as the currently selected VFO frequency or Memory

channel.

Call Scan

Note:

◆

Adjust the squelch level before using Scan. Selecting a squelch level too low could cause Scan to stop immediately.

While using CTCSS or DCS, Scan stops for any signal received; however, you will hear audio only when the signal contains the same CTCSS tone or DCS code that

you selected.

◆

When using S-meter Squelch, Scan stops when the received signal strength matches or exceeds the S-meter setting. Scan resumes 2 seconds after the signal level

drops below the S-meter setting.

◆

Pressing and holding [PTT] causes Scan to temporarily stop if it is functioning on a non TX band.

for the duration of the hold time you set. When the set time

elapses, scan will resume (even if the signal is still being

received).

The transceiver stops scanning at a frequency or Memory

channel on which a signal is detected. It then continues

scanning according to which resume mode you have selected.

You can choose one of the following modes. The default is Time-

operated mode.

Enter Menu mode and access Menu 914.

•

Time-Operated mode

The transceiver remains on a busy frequency or Memory

channel for approximately 5 seconds, and then continues to

scan even if the signal is still present.

Carrier-Operated mode

CTCSS/ DCS/ CROSS TONE

CTCSS

You may sometimes want to hear calls only from speciﬁc persons. The Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System (CTCSS) allows you

to ignore (not hear) unwanted calls from other persons who are using the same frequency. To do so, select the same CTCSS tone as

selected by the other persons in your group. A CTCSS tone is subaudible and is selectable from among 42 tone frequencies.

DCS

Digital Coded Squelch (DCS) is another application which allows you to ignore (not hear) unwanted calls. It functions the same way as

CTCSS. The only differences are the encode/ decode method and the number of selectable codes. For DCS, you can select from 104

different codes.

Note: CTCSS/ DCS does not cause your conversation to be private. It only relieves you from listening to unwanted conversations.

When using EchoLink Sysop mode, perform the following settings (1) ~ (4).

(1) Set the SQC output setting (Menu No. 921) to “SQL”.

SETTING UP EchoLink Sysop MODE

(2) When unnecessary noise signals, etc., are sent from the link station

to the internet while CTCSS and DCS are active, use can verify the

usage condition of the operating frequency by setting “EchoLink RX

Monitor” ([Edit] > [Menu] > [Transmit/Receive]) via the MCP-6A to

“Busy Only”.

Connect the TM-D710G to a personal computer to use the

system as a node station for EchoLink relaying.

When connecting to a personal computer and using the

EchoLink Sysop mode, the hard ﬂow control operation RTS and

CTS computer terminals operate the same as and are changed

with the SQC (squelch control signal output to the computer)

and PKS (transmit control signal input from the computer) data

terminals.

Because of this, when EchoLink Sysop mode is ON, all received

signals on the DATA band are output from the speaker irregardless of a

matching CTCSS or DCS signal.

(Voice signals are output from the DATA terminal only when the

CTCSS or DCS signals match.)

(3) To avoid having the EchoLink software detecting a busy state even

when the transceiver power is turned OFF, set the “SQC Output Logic”

([Edit] > [Data Terminal]) via the MCP-6A to “High”.

The current band becomes the same as the data band which is

selected in menu No. 918 regardless of the transmission band

and operation band.

(When performing this setting, ensure that the EchoLink’s software

“Invert Sense” setting in the RX Ctrl tab of the Sysop Setup window is

not checked.)

(4) When the audio level adjustment range on your personal computer is

insufﬁcient, adjust the AF output level “PR1 Pin Output Level” ([Edit] >

[Data Terminal]) and AF input sensitivity “PKD Pin Input Level” ([Edit]

> [Data Terminal]) of the transceiver via the MCP-6A. Adjustments can

be made in steps of 6dB.

only) or to 10.0, 12.5, 15.0*, 20.0, 25.0, 30.0, 50.0, or 100.0

kHz.

These step sizes are not available for the 1200 MHz band.

Note: Changing between step sizes may correct the displayed frequency. For

example, if

144.995 MHz is displayed with a 5 kHz step size selected, changing to a 12.5

kHz step size corrects the displayed frequency to 144.9875 MHz.

GPS (GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)

WHAT IS GPS?

GPS stands for Global Positioning System, and is common nowadays. Following is a brief introduction.

Although the American Defense Department originally developed GPS for military operations, the system is available for use by the

general public. Anybody can use GPS in association with modern vehicle navigation systems.

Position precision for public use is approximately 15 meters. Precision can be improved when a vehicle is used for navigation and

aboard ships through use of map matching technology and differential GPS techniques.

A total of 24 or more GPS satellites are at a high-level altitude of approximately 20,000 km on six circular tracks with an orbital radius

of approximately 26,000 km. Therefore, there are four or more satellites located in each orbital track. For civilian use, the RF carrier

frequency of the satellites is 1575.42 MHz. Spread spectrum (SS) technology is used over a bandwidth of 2.046 MHz to prevent

interference among all the satellite signals on a common carrier frequency.

POSITION DETERMINATION PRINCIPLE

The GPS receiver receives radio signals transmitted from GPS satellites. The receiver measures the time duration between when

the signal leaves the satellite and when the signal arrives at the GPS receiver. Knowing this time allows calculation of the distance

that the signal traveled from that particular satellite. By receiving multiple signals from different satellites and performing this distance

calculation multiple times, the intersection of the spherical surfaces that represent the respective radius distances to the various

satellites will determine a single point.

The precision of the determination of the intersecting point relies on the satellites and the data collected.

DATUM (GEODETIC SURVEY SYSTEM)

The latitude and longitude information required by the GPS receiver does not allow for accurate representation of the unevenness of

the Earth’s surface. For use with GPS, the current standard that deﬁnes the precise shape of the Earth is called WGS-84. By using this

standard in conjunction with mapping standards for each country, devices can create accurate position plotting on a map.

GPS AND APRS POSITION FORMAT

Although position can be described in many different formats, such as degrees, degrees and minutes, and degrees, minutes and

seconds, the GPS system and APRS have standardized on the degrees and decimal minutes format. Just like it is important to use

proper international phonetics when spelling on the air, it is important in APRS as in any communications system to have a default

standard for position. All operators should be trained to use the DDD MM.mm format by default in voice communications just like in

data formats. Using these standards on the air will prevent communication errors, confusion, repeats, and conversions.

APRS DATA COMMUNICATION (APRS BEACON)

◆

This function uses the APRS format for data communications including your station position, messages, etc.

When data is received from another station, the direction of the received station (from your station’s perspective), their distance, and their grid

square locator is displayed. Any comments sent by the other station are also displayed.

◆

Meteorological data obtained from a connected Weather Station can be transmitted.

APRS (Automatic Packet Reporting System) is a worldwide system introduced by Bob Bruninga, WB4APR .

< APRS^®is a software program and registered trademark of Bob Bruninga, WB4APR.>

Ofﬁcial APRS Website: http://www.aprs.org

NAVITRA DATA COMMUNICATION (NAVITRA BEACON)

◆

The Navitra system was introduced by KENWOOD in the 1990’s, for use within Japan.

CALLSIGN AND BEACON TYPE SETTINGS

◆

When an APRS/NAVITRA beacon is created, set the callsign and beacon type (APRS/NAVITRA) (Menu No. 600).

◆ SSID (Secondary Station IDentiﬁers) can be added to the end of your callsign (for example, W6DJY will become W6DJY– 14).

SSIDs can range from “None, – 1” to “– 15”, so that each callsign can have up to 16 settings.

Refer to the website for SSID: http://aprs.org/aprs11/SSIDs.txt (as of October 2013)

DIGIPEAT

◆

The term digipeat means that the packet data is relayed. When a digipeater (relay station) receives a packet, it saves it to memory. When the

reception ends, the data is re-transmitted. Using digipeat, it is possible to send beacons long distances.

◆

In order to perform a digipeat, you must set up a packet path (Menu No. 612). For the packet path, you can specify a direct callsign or you can

use “WIDE1-1” or “WIDE1-1, WIDE2-1”, specifying a common alias and hops number. Set the transceiver’s packet path according to the digipeater

settings.

◆

Digipeat is very useful in reaching other stations when you have a weak signal. However, you need to set up the total hops numbers and beacon

transmissions moderately to prevent channel congestion.

WIDE type

Fill-in type

WIDE type:

This degipeater can send the packet over a wide area.

Regional degipeaters are also called “RELAY type” relays. These

degipeaters are used for mobile stations when a signal cannot

reach a WIDE-type degipeater.

SELECTING A POSITION COMMENT

QSY FUNCTION

Enter Menu mode and access Menu 607.

The QSY function uses AFRS (Automatic Frequency Reporting

System) to report a frequency on which voice communications

can be established. A station using the QSY function embeds

the frequency information in a position beacon transmission.

A receiving station of this information can change frequency,

or QSY, over to the reported voice frequency to begin voice

communication by the select of [TUNE].

The APRS data which you transmit always includes one of the

15 predetermined position comments. Select an appropriate

comment depending on your situation.

Transmitting QSY Information

A properly conﬁgured functioning TM-D710G QSY station can

automatically embed the voice frequency from the non-data band

to the beginning of status text. This is the mechanism used for

automatically transmitting the frequency information.

The selectable comments are listed below:

[Off Duty] [Enroute] [In Service] [Returning] [Committed] [Special]

[PRIORITY] [CUSTOM 0 ~ CUSTOM 6] [EMERGENCY!]

The format of the transmitted frequency is FFF.FFF MHz.

•

If you select “Emergency!”, a conﬁrmation message appears. Press

the Tuning control again.

So, for example, if at the time of a beacon transmission, the

non-data band has a frequency of 446.100 MHz selected, then

the frequency of “446.100MHz” gets embedded to the beginning

of the status text. If you conﬁgure in any of Statuses 1 through 4

the frequency of “446.100MHz” at the beginning of the status text

messages, then this ﬁxed frequency will be transmitted as QSY

information along with the beacon transmission. In addition to

frequencies, there are ﬁelds where you can send other settings

such as Wide/Narrow, Tone/CTCSS/DCS, Shift (+/-), and Offset

frequency simply by -leaving one space between each value.

Therefore, other information besides just a frequency can be

sent.

ATTENTION:When it is unnecessary, never “EMERGENCY!”. When an

emergency signal is received using APRS, the Emergency Alarm on all

stations will sound.

■ Connecting TM-D710G with the HF Transceiver

DX PACKETCLUSTERS MONITOR

In order to connect TM-D710G to the HF transceiver, you

need to prepare three cables by yourself. For the connection

between the PC/ COM connectors on the two transceivers,

you may use a commercially available RS-232-C cross-wired

cable.

DX PacketClusters are networks which consist of nodes and

stations who are interested in DXing and contesting. If one

station ﬁnds a DX station on the air, he (or she) sends a notice to

his (or her) node. Then this node passes the information to all its

local stations besides another node. This transceiver can display

received DX information and hold the latest information on up

to 10 DX stations. Use this function to monitor the latest DX

information in your local area.You cannot send DX information to

a node, using the function.

•

A D-SUB female/male conversion adapter is required.
