The FTM400 does have the audio I/O and PTT on the 10-pin connector for an external TNC (or sound card variation). I think the worse part of all of this is that the reviews (such as the ARRL review in

The only way I've gotten my 350 to work is to use a signallink and sound card Tnc or an external Tnc like TT4. I would assume as I don't have the cable for the 400 that you would have to do the same.

Well isn't that nice. Thank you for the prompt response. Sean W9STR

Note: The following is based on my direct knowledge of the FTM-350. I have not heard anything to the contrary for the FTM-400. What you are doing wrong is that you are using a

I am unable to transmit through the program. When I look at CONFIGURE>PORTS>FTM-400(the radio I am using) Xmit Enable is not checked. Even if I check it it will not stay checked, when I look again, it

WELCOME! I assume that since you are in this forum you are referring to using the KPC-3+ with APRSIS32. There are 2 options fro working with the KPC3 and both are explained here: TNC-KPC-3+ -

Thank you Fred. I’ll give it a try. Mike N3MRM

On the one I had, I used a terminal emulator. At the time I used HyperTerminal PE. Now I would use PuTTY. Fred N7FMH

I’m new to aprs. I’m using a ftm100de and kantronics kpc-3 plus. My question is, what computer program should I use to configure the kpc-3, to use with aprs.

Morning James. Well I know everybody would like more info. I just don't have any more to give. If I had more I could probably figure it out too. Shut down Putty and tried to reconnect to

The rest of the world will tell you that it will work. If putty can access the serial port on the machine, then APRSISCE/32 should be able to as well. You will need to release the port from putty

Tried that route yesterday James, program failed to open port.

Nope, only one program can have control of the serial port at a time. Shut down putty and then get APRSISCE/32 to connect to the serial port. James -- James VE6SRV

Hi Rob. Not at home right now, had to head out for a bit. I didn't shut Putty down, according to what Lynn posted I should be able to run both. Putty is seeing the RF strings the 3+ -icom setup is

You are disconnecting (shutting down) PuTTY before trying to connect with APRSIS32? Does APRSIS32 say {RF Port} OK? What strings is PuTTY seeing? Maybe post the section of the RF Port log when you try

Hi Lynn. Got up early and used another cable on com6. Have putty connected and redid VHF2 port on APRSIS32. Putty is seeing the strings with no problem. Negative action from the APRSIS32 though.

Please define "would not connect". If it can't open the COMM port, then you still have something running that has it open. If it's just not receiving, then a few minutes may not be enough

Putty or any other terminal emulator can LISTEN to KISS-formatted traffic. It's still serial data. The packet headers will be non-printable and graphics characters, but the packet payloads

Had Putty working on Port 5 for about 2 min. Shut down putty and started Aprsis. Would not connect. Have bought a ftdi chipset cable from Amazon. Will play once it is in. Tried to roll back driver

I agree that's he's got the wrong driver. But I use an old driver and it work flawlessly. The only thing is sometime windows will do an update and will put the last driver version and your wire won't
