WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL
If you also have a compatible KENWOOD handy
transceiver, you may use it as a remote control for this
mobile transceiver. You will control one band on the
mobile while sending DTMF tones to the other band from
the handheld. This function will be useful, for example,
when you want to control the mobile from a location
outside your vehicle.
Note:
◆ As a remote control, you can also use a handy transceiver which
does not have a remote control function but a DTMF function.
You, however, must manually send DTMF tones for control code
strings. Skip steps 1 and 3 in “PREPARATION”.
◆ The FCC rules permit you to send control codes only on the 440
MHz band.
