Configuring a TM-D710A/E/GA/GE (TM-V71A/E) for a Link Station
What is TM-D710A/E/GA/GE (TM-V71A/E) EchoLink Sysop Mode?
EchoLink Sysop mode is the mode used when connecting the TM‑D710A/E/GA/GE (TM‑V71A/E) with a personal
computer and operating as a base station at an EchoLink relay station (link station). In EchoLink Sysop mode, the
computer interfaces its RTS and CTS hardware flow control signals to the PKS (transmit control signal input from the
computer) and SQC (squelch control signal output to the computer) terminals respectively on the TM‑D710A/E/GA/GE
(TM‑V71A/E).
The operation band is the data band as selected via Menu 517 (TM‑D710A/E, TM‑V71A/E) or Menu 918 (TM‑D710GA/
GE) regardless which band you transmit on by pressing the PTT switch or currently have selected.
Use a PG‑5H cable kit to connect a personal computer installed with EchoLink software to the TM‑D710A/E/GA/GE
(TM‑V71A/E) as shown in Fig. 7‑43 Computer to TM‑D710A/E/GA/GE (TM‑V71A/E) Connections.

1 Turn the power OFF.
2 Hold [PF2] down and turn the power ON.
Whenever Steps 1 and 2 are done, the EchoLink Sysop mode turns On and Off.
Note:
◆ When EchoLink Sysop mode is On, the icon appears.
◆ When an audio signal is output from the data terminal to the personal computer, the icon blinks.
◆ When the personal computer has no RS‑232C ports, then use a USB‑to‑serial conversion cable.
◆ When EchoLink Sysop mode is On, the transceiver cannot communicate with MCP‑2A/6A Programming Software. Before
using MCP-2A/6A, turn EchoLink Sysop mode Off.
