WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL (TH-F6A ONLY)
If you also have a KENWOOD multi-band mobile
transceiver, you can control one of its bands by
sending DTMF tones from this portable transceiver.
You will find this function useful when you want to
control your mobile transceiver from a location
outside your vehicle.
Note:
You can remotely control only mobile transceivers that have both
the DTSS and Remote Control functions.
The FCC rules permit you to send control codes only on the
70 cm band.
PREPARATION
Let us assume the 2 m band of the mobile transceiver
will be controlled.
On the portable transceiver:
1 Press [PTT]+[VFO]+[ ] (POWER).
The current secret access code number
appears. The default is 000.
2 Press a numeric key (0 to 9) to enter a 3-digit
secret number.
You can also turn the Tuning control or press
[ ]/ [ ] to select each digit. Press [ ] (or [ ])
to move the cursor to the next (or previous)

7 Press [PTT]+[MR]+[ ] (POWER).
The transceiver enters Remote Control mode.
“MOBILE CTRL” appears.
To exit Remote Control mode, repeat steps 6
and 7.
On the mobile transceiver:

secret number.
Select the same number as you selected in
step 2.
For the programming method, refer to the
instruction manual of the mobile transceiver.
9 Select the receive frequency on the 70 cm band.
Mate this frequency with the transmit frequency
on the portable transceiver.
10 Make the transceiver enter Remote Control mode.
For the method, refer to the instruction manual
of the mobile transceiver.
