RC-D710 (Operation Panel/APRS-ready Standalone TNC)
It is possible to replace the TM‑V71A/E’s front panel with RC‑D710 and upgrade your TM‑V71A/E to be functionally
equivalent to TM‑D710A/E. RC‑D710 can function as the operating panel of TM‑D710A/E. In addition, if RC‑D710 is
connected to another transceiver via the optional PG‑5J interface kit, this produces an APRS‑ready standalone TNC.
Models Supported for Use with RC-D710
The following models are supported to be used with RC‑D710: TM‑V71A/E, TM‑D710GA/GE, TM‑D710A/E,
TM‑D700A/E, TM‑V708A, TM‑G707A/E, TM‑V7A/E, TM‑733A/E, TM‑255A/E and TM‑455A/E. Excluding the situations
of using RC‑D710 as an operation panel for TM‑V71A/E and TM‑D710GA/GE, the optional PG‑5J interface kit is
necessary.
Note:
◆ 1200/9600 bps data communications functionality is possible via the 6‑pin mini‑DIN connector. However, this type of data
operation cannot be guaranteed for these transceivers. Furthermore, when RC‑D710 is connected to equipment other than the
above mentioned transceivers, KENWOOD cannot support nor offer an opinion as to whether such configurations will function.
◆ The RC‑D710 cannot be used as an operation panel for used with the TM‑D710GA/GE.
