Sky Command II allows you to remotely control the
TS-590S transceiver from a separate location.
If you have more than 2 TH-D7A/ TH-D72A/E/
TM-D710A/ TM-V71A + RC-D710/ TM-D700A
transceivers (K type), you can perform Sky Command
II operation to remotely control the HF/ 50 MHz band
of your TS-590S transceiver.
You will use one transceiver (TH-D7A, TH-D72A/E,
TM-D710A, TM-V71A + RC-D710, or TM-D700A) as a
remote control unit, called a “Commander”. The other
VHF/ UHF transceiver (TH-D7A, TH-D72A/E,
TM-D710A, TM-V71A + RC-D710, or TM-D700A) with
the TS-590S transceiver is called the “Transporter”.
This TH-D7A, TH-D72A/E, TM-D710A, TM-V71A +
RC-D710, or TM-D700A transceier will function as
an interface between the Commander (a remote
control unit) and the HF/ 50 MHz band of the TS-590S
transceiver.
This system allows you, for example, to watch for and
hunt DX while washing your car, or to operate the HF
transceiver while relaxing in your car, living room, or
patio, instead of actually operating inside your shack.
Note: Operation of Sky Command II may not been permitted in
certain countries. Check your local laws before operating.

Although you can use a TH-D7A, TH-D72A/E,
TM-D710A, TM-V71A + RC-D710, or TM-D700A
transceiver as a “Commander” (an external remote
control unit), the following procedure shows how
to set up your TS-590S and TH-D7A, TH-D72A/E,
TM-D710A, TM-V71A + RC-D710, or TM-D700A
transceivers as a “Transporter” at a base station and
the TM-D710A, TM-V71A + RC-D710, or TM-D700A
transceiver as a “Commander”.
