Very nice unit, was mobile inside my Dodge Magnum until I sold(2 years ago) the car, non=smoker, clean radio works well. Used it for primarily the APRS feature $250.00 plus shipping. Will ship in the original box, inside another well padded larger box. Located in Richmond Ky. Look me up if you wish, I am good on all reporting call sign data bases.

I have trouble changing the D700 A side from VHF to UHF.  I followed the book and was able to change the VFO to but it went to the 220 MHz band.  Now I cannot get it back.   Is there something I am missing?

Make sure your B side is on UHF when you try to switch.  The valid combinations of band versus side is A=VHF/B=UHF, A=VHF/B=VHF, and A=UHF/B=UHF (sometimes written as V/U, V/V, and U/U in the manual and online).  You can not set A to UHF when B is VHF.

Hello,

I am a relatively new TM-D710GA owner. I haven't been using the 5 PM slots, but with some of the APRS work I'm looking to do, I think I've hit the point where I need to start using them.

Is there a way to copy the settings from the default PM to the other PM slots so I only have to change the one or two settings I'm interested in? Or do I have to manually configure each setting to match up?

I have both the standard MCP-6A software and the RT Systems software if that changes the answer. :-)

Thanks!

I'm looking for a recommendation of a  GPS (no display) that I can use with my Kenwood TMD700A, something similar to but NOT the Radio Shack DigiTraveler GPS of days gone by.
Thoughts?

Jeff:

Just make the changes and save it in another PM slot.

Jeff,

You simply use your current settings (say PM1 for example), make whatever changes you want, and then save it to whatever PM you wish (say PM5)

I have several presets;  1: normal APRS/Voice ops, 2: Voice only ops, 3: external PC APRS ops, 4: As needed for temporary operations (such as a Public Service event) APRS/Voice, and 5: Parked (APRS beacon every 20 minutes, voice (band B) off, backlight Off, beeps Off). 

When setting up for a Public Service Event I save my PM1 to PM4, then make changes (voice frequency, APRS comment/status text etc) and then save again to PM4.

Hope this helps.

Wife and daughter have customized GPS-18 GPS units for their D-700s. If you don't want to attach your own connectors (my source no longer sells them that way)  Byonics  sells an adapter for their GPS5 for the Kenwoods.

Hope this helps

Thanks to everyone who gave me ideas and suggestions. I’ve not decided which way to go yet but a ready to use options seems the best.

Mainly this is to be dedicated to APRS, Packet

As such, I seem to be decoding APRS off 144.390; a List is enlarging ... I also can get on the "B" band on 144.34/94 and make myself known.

I can use the RT Systems Programmer for memory.

I can touch BCON on the TM-710GA; see the bars indicate I am sending; see my Wattmeter verify that.

It is probable I have the default path wide-1 and wide2-1 set .. though there appears to be some duplicity when I find :settings:

Anyway, for now, I need to understand why I am decoding so far 34 stations in the APRs settiing but Findu never never reports my fixed position ... I'd disabled iGPS then added Mycall and my known GPS coordinates off my U-Blox GPS... EM88LL is the correct grid.
I xmit every few minutes now for a couple hours but never see it reported.

Next, I plugged in the two audio cables from Data ... to the Dell front panel Mic and Earphone ... all this did was usurp my system sounds. I run APRSIS32, AGW and UISS ... fwiw.

The rig is connected by a USB to serial as seen in the DevMan screenshot ... though ,,,, letting the Port-Setup program for a kenwood D710 "detect, she found com#20 which is what I plugged in for the RT memory program.

APRSIS32 :seems: to find my new TM-D710 cuz I see this in the log it makes :
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
2019-09-03T14:26:17.055 [TransmitAPRS] KD7YZ-1>APWW10,WIDE2-2:@142616h3829.68N/08301.09W-
2019-09-03T14:26:21.959 [Telemetry] KD7YZ-1>APWW10,WIDE2-2:T#160,100,048,095,128,000,10100000

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
so, please, anyone capable of handling the newbie tirade, please mail me off list and help me get going.
I intend to let one of the Alpha-Spid Az/El's track and decode the Digi_sats. Sadly I appear a long was from that ability.

I just got my 710 and it is still in the box, so I'm just mentioning what happened to me with another radio.....is the repeater offset turned off?

Eric

I am OK with Normal repeater functions. And I already bought the RT software and cable ... even setup a few mem channels.
It's APRS that I am having troubles with. For example, I can press BCON and see I xmit ...every once in a while I can go on FindU and see that somehow my fixed GPS Position here at home, got TO findU ... but it seems I don't always send out a beacon even though I have it on Auto.

Lemme ask this: I am using APRIS32 program ... how do I get audio in and out of it. So far, plugging in the Pink & Green plugs into the PC front panel Audio and Mic plugs produces nix.

what software is anyone using for comms with ISS for example?

B4 this rig, I used Packet Engine Pro and UISS with great success.

so what to use with the D710GA?

I use the Kenwood PG-5G cable.  For use with APRS software it needs to be plugged into the data port on the control head (where the TNC resides), not the radio body (that port is used for programming, ECHO LINK, etc.). I'm not familiar with the RT cable so don't know if it works the same.  I've never used audio cables for APRS connectivity so can't help you there.

Make sure the COM port in the radio is turned on (Menu 604).

Since you are using APRSIS32, check out this page (if you haven't already): http://aprsisce.wikidot.com/port:kenwood-tm-d710

Hope this helps.
