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-V71 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. 517, regardless of the
transmission band and operation band.

Use the PG-5H (interface cable kit) when connecting to a
personal computer.
