Connecting TM-D710G with the HF Transceiver CONTENTS-5

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 TXtone: 88.5 Hz RX: 145.325 MHz TX: 144.725 MHz TXtone: 88.5 Hz RX: 145.325 MHz

REPEATER ACCESS 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. & Selecting an Offset Direction The offset direction allows your transmit frequency to be higher (+) or lower (—) than the receive frequency. 1 Select your desired band (A or B). 2 Press [F], [SHIFT] to select an offset direction. + Each time you press [SHIFT], the offset direction changes as follows: Simplex operation =+ + =+ — = Simplex operation = 12100 es quo Hé mi, 2146000 1440. 000 »

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: While using an odd-split memory channel or transmiting, you cannot change the offset direction. H Selecting an Offset Frequency 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. 1 Select your desired band (A or B). 2 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 400.

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': + Memory name + Memory channel lockout +_ Channel Display mode + Locked-band/ Cross-band Repeater ON/OFF + _ Repeater mode ! + Repeater hold ‘ + _ Repeater ID transmit + _ Registered repeater ID ! *_ Wireless remote control ! + Answer back! + _ Remote control ID ‘ + Keylock + Power on password ? + Memory channel/ Call channel/ Program scan memory + _ Weather channel ‘ +. _DTMF memory + EchoLink memory + COM port speed + PC port speed + Microphone sensitivity +10 MHz mode ? +_Input/output level (DATA terminal) 2 + SQC data output logic ? *TM-D710GA only 2 Can be set only by using the MCP-6A software. APPLICATION EXAMPLES 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. Situation: You cannot figure out how to exit the current transceiver mode. 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. PM-1

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. À 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.

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. Interval and Total Distance Geographic Coordinates Format Example Latitude DD MM.mm 39 49.31N (degrees and minutes) +39 49.31 Longitude DDD MM.mm 84 15.39W gl (degrees and minutes) -84 15.39 GPS -1

QSY FUNCTION 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]. 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 format of the transmitted frequency is FFFFFF MHz. 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 “446.100MHZz" 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.

CROSS-BAND/ LOCKED-BAND OPERATION (TM-D710GA ONLY) This transceiver is capable of receiving signals on one band and retransmitting signals on the other band. This function repeats signals originating from one band, using the other band. For example, a signal received on band A (VHF) is retransmitted on band B (UHF). Similarly, a signal received on band B (UHF) is retransmitted on band A (VHF). Locked-band Repeater: The transceiver uses the same band to receive or transmit a signal. You can set either the A band (A-TX) or B band (B-TX) as the transmit band. Cross-band Repeater: If receiving a signal on the TX band, the transceiver switches the current RX only band to the TX band. This is useful when joining in a group talk. Participants in a group talk need to set a receive and transmit frequency on different bands so as not to miss any conversation within the group.
