I will be getting my TM monday, as I have not so patiently tracked it's every move in the UPS system. Just curious as to what everyone has found out about their radios.. -- Richard M Waite

You can get them straight from Delorme for $50. make sure you get the Tripmate as the Earthmate will not send standard

Success! With the help of this site http://www.qsl.net/kd4rdb/tripmate.htm and some simple testing I was able to get the tripmate to pass info to the TM D700A. Complete the modifications to get the

Of course, there is no speed based beacon-rate feature, but I use the Program Memories for that feature. I set PM1 to all of the defaults I use for a moving vehicle and PM2 for stopped. As I step

I think alot of us would be happy to see that! Including the insurance companies :) Scott mounted that permit keyboards make to

I would consider this an ok behavior. When on a long trip by car, I wouldn't want the radio to stop beaconing every 1 or 2. The next feature I would like to see is adjustment of beacon rate based

My experience is the same as yours. If you turn BCON off, the radio will turn itself off at the prescribed time. I can't think of any way to do what you asked. (unless you left a computer

You a similar question was asked on the APRSSIG. The General concenus was, that the APRS causes the Auto OFF not to work. 30 minutes. transmit my position 5 or 6 times then shut off after the 3

I left the radio on and in APRS mode transmittingmy position every 30 minutes. I had the auto off timer on. My intention wasthat it would transmit my position 5 or 6 times then shut off after the

The sad fact is, that neither FINDU nor WinAPRS correctly decode the compressed Altitude of the MIC-E format at this time. I think that they are both working on it, but I can not say for sure. If

Anyone had luck getting their status text message to be parsed correctly by winaprs or findu? my status text line is K0STL-1>S8TQ5V,K0STL,K0PFX-8*:'v7 UU>/]"5v}>K0STL@... but all that is

I just use a "regular" 9-pin serial cable with a gender-changer on it. I don't even tell the radio anything ... I just fire up the software and off it goes. ...Rick / N1BOI

Hi from a new TM-D700 user here in Sydney, I have downloaded the Kenwood software to load memories in to the radio but can't get it to work. What type of cable to you need (plain serial or null

I removed the green wire and the resistor. (I believe clipping the green wire only affects the MARS / CAP capability).

I tried the green wire and removing the resistor trick, and had what sounded like the data coming from my Garmin GPS12 crosstalking on my audio. I reconnected everything. Which mod did you try? PS.

I've performed the extended tx/rx on my radio. On the "A" side, I can transmit and receive above 450 mhz. On the "B" side, it will transmit above 450 mhz, but will not receive anything above 450

I had a failure of my microphone within the first month. This happened when I was on a trip and far from home or anyplace that might be able to help me repair or replace it. Fortunately, I was able to

Three out of the four MC-53DM microphones that I own have had failures of the PTT button within the first year of operation. This is the keypad microphone which is supplied with the D700, G707, 261,
