■ Selecting a Transmit Speed Some repeaters may not respond correctly if a code is transmitted at fast speed. If this happens, change the EchoLink transmission speed from FAST (default) to SLOW. 1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 205. 2 Set the speed to FAST or SLOW. SETTING UP EchoLink Sysop MODE 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. 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. Use the PG-5H (interface cable kit) when connecting to a personal computer.

(1) Set the SQC output setting (Menu No. 921) to "SQL". (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". 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". (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. ◆ The settings in numbers 2 ~ 4 (above) can be performed only using a MCP6A. ◆ When EchoLink Sysop mode is ON, it cannot communicate with the MCP6A. When using the MCP-6A, be sure to turn EchoLink Sysop mode OFF. 1 Turn the transceiver power OFF. 2 Press [PF2] + Power ON to turn EchoLink Sysop Mode ON. • The icon appears on the display when EchoLink Sysop mode is ON. • When the audio signal is output to the PC side, the icon blinks. • To turn EchoLink Sysop Mode OFF, press [PF2] + Power ON again.
