KENWOOD TM-D710

General

The Kenwood TM-D710 is a modern dual band FM-transceiver with separate control panel

which is perfect for remote control via Internet. The idea of remote controlling TM-D710 is

simple; it's just to extend the cord between the radio and the control panel using Internet.

When you press the power button on the panel the radio comes to life at the remote side and

sound and panel info flows across the Internet between the pair of RRC-1258MkII:s. The look

and feel of the panel is the same as if the panel was directly connected to the radio.

Hardware configuration

It's very simple to Interface the TM-D710 for remote control via the RRC:s. You only need to

make two simple cables. One from the Control panel to the Control-RRC and one from the

Radio-RRC to the Radio. The standard mic (MC-59) provided with the TM-D710 can be used

and connected directly to the Control-RRC. From Radio-RRC to Radio a standard CAT-5 cable

can be used for the Mic-signals. A standard audio cable with 1/8" inch connectors are used for

the audio. A speaker are also needed as there is no speaker in the Control panel.

All software settings are the same as for TS-480, but the straps are a little bit different in the

Control-RRC as the MC-59 mic needs 8V DC feeding. (see drawings below).

Remember that the buttons on the microphone will not work. If you need DTMF use an other

Mic with built in DTMF encoder. The MC-59 do not have it. It's also possible to program DTMF

functions to the radio which will available from the Control panel. All other functions works as

in the normal setup.
