Anyone does use Tm-d700a with Echolink interface?

Doesn't Kenwood sell the control heads as an option for the TS-2000? 
It is my understanding that the control heads work on both radios, 
not cheap but a way to get a control head.

At this point I only have a few pretty minor marks on mine but just 
curious what my options are for down the road. Thanks.

I realize that you already have some minor marks and hopefully they are 
not too bad.  I use a Palm PDA quite a bit and they sell a pack of 
protective plastic sheets for the face of the Palm that I have used on my 
mobile D700 display.  It's just a stronger version of the protective sheet 
that comes on a new unit.  I have found that although it's not perfect, it 
does quite well in protecting the face from the little dings we all try to 
avoid.

You can replace the front plastic cover. Pacific Coast Parts handles Kenwood
Amateur radio parts and Service Manuals.
The front glass is $6.02 and Service manual is $20.  Off course shipping is
extra. They also have the brackets and most cables.
The manuals are cheaper there than at the dealers.

NTSGRP,NTSMRK,NTSMSG

hELLO,

Can anyone exlpain the use of these TNC commands.  I am assuming that 
they provide a way to handle NTS messages yet I am not sure.  The 
manual indicates that they are used for making $PNTS sentences. What 
is this?

Your help is appreciated.

Try a little Brasso metal polish. Apply a bit with a Q-Tip, and gently rub with a clean finger.

Has worked for me with HT displays, plastic digital watch faces, et al.

Available at Home Depot in the "cleansers" aisle.

I'm not sure I'd recommend polishing the faceplate. If you look at it
closely, you can see it's not a smooth, shiny surface - it's anti-glare. If
you polish it, I think you'll make that area quite noticeable.

73,

Steven

Discriminator

Does the TM-D700 provide discriminator output(s) on any port of the radio or would I need to install one myself?

Thanks!

the radio in Europe.

#3636

There wouldn't happen to be anyone that would have a
wiring diagram to build a new cable from the 3/32
connection to the GPS.  I also want to include a line
for constant power to the GPS.  (Actually it would be
just a cigarette power plug)  My long legs got the
best of the old 3/32 connection the other day.  Broke
it right in half.  :(

Any help would be grateful.

Thanks,

Poor AM Audio

backseatboogie <paul@...>

#3635

I wonder if anyone has tried modifying their 700A to improve the 
audio on the AIR band. It seems that a narrow filter is used rather 
than say a 6kHz filter which you typically would have on a scanner or 
HF rig. Thanks.

I Search any Tm-d700A

Took the radio into Kenwood mid december because the radio wouldn't

a surface mount fuse and doing a tuneup of the radio.  Now that I 
just got to enjoying the radio while tuned up properly as well (audio 
levels are perfect now!)  the display is gone AGAIN.

Has anyone found any details out about thise surface mount fuse, what 
values it is, and any suggestions for how to mount an external one? 
This is really lame.

My best guess is it has to do with the fact that every time I get out 
of the truck I disconnect the face and put it away, as I don't want 
it to be a reason for someone to break in. (Here in Mexico.)

DaveI had the same problem with mine, after the 1st replacement it 
worked fine for a few months, then quit again. I returned it to the 
dealer who replaced the fuse, but then took the time to thoroughly 
check it out, and blew the fuse 2 or 3 more times! It turned out 
that the pins from the components on the bottom of the circuit 
boards had not been sufficiently trimmed at the factory and were 
occasionaly making contact with the case, grounding and blowing the 
fuse.

Unless someone has scanned a copy, I don't think you'll find the service
