Hi David Thank you very much for your reply. Thankfully I think I am now on my way thanks to you and others on the list. I am using YAAC and according to the manual the Kenwood port on the program can

Thanks David. You explained this perfectly for me and I now have got the 710 working as it should. Regarding the aprs mode, I understand that I am only able to read packets but cannot transmit. The on

Thanks Michael I was not aware that the 710GA had 2 serial ports. I could not find anything on the documentation about it. Although the same cable could be used for both applications, in order to avoi

Hi I have just obtained a D710GA and am trying to use the internal tnc to do aprs. Can someone help me with how to connect the radio to the computer which runs my aprs software? I have the kenwood pro

Hi Joey Thanks for getting back. Actually that was the question I had that I perhaps did not phrase correctly. I could not find any audio gain settings in the D700. I am surprised that the 710 has aud

HI Joey No I am not trying to run a digipeater. According to the yaac manual, putting the d700 in aprs mode only allows for receiving packets because the d700 is not able for whatever reason to transm

no Joey. I am running the kenwood in tnc-pkt mode using yaac. I do not have a gps. Joe VA3JLF

I have been experiencing a continuing problem with aprs that I do not seem to be getting out enough, even with full 50w power. I am using the D700A in tnc pkt mode. I am only able to get digipeated by

Hi Don Thanks for this. Actually as per my other post, I solved the problem, my squelch was open and the DCD sense was stopping the transmit. Sillly thing! Joe VA3JLF Sent from Mail for Windows 10

Correction Dave, you were right. closing the squelch did it and enabled me to transmit!! Thanks and what a simple thing to do!!! Joe VA3JLF

HI Dave I tried to close the squelch but no luck. Still cannot transmit. Should the packet TXC setting be manual or auto? Joe Sent from Mail for Windows 10

I am trying to use my d700a with yaac or another aprs program to receive and transmit aprs packets. Everything is set correctly and I can receive packets correctly. However I cannot transmit. The soft

HI David Actually no, I have a real com port but I have had my share of troubles with the prolific chip. I have two usb serial adapters to run my home automation software on my raspberry pi but otherw

Doug I am using a “real” com port on my computer. The kenwood radio requires all pins on the connector because it uses hardware flow control. I am starting to suspect that my problem has to do with a

Hi Ron Yes all this is correctly set up. In discussions with yaac’s author, it appears that yaac runs a validation test on startup and does not enable the port unless the test is passed. It has someth

I am trying to connect my tmd700a with my aprs client yaac and am getting an error message that the com port cannot open. I have a straight through rs232 cable connecting the radio to the computer as

Have you tried doing a reset (full or partial). Another thing to check is that the connection between the radio and the tnc via the ribbon cable is good because the radio will not turn on if it cannot

HI Leo After a very long wait looking for part numbers and parts, I have finally been able to get the connector soldered in place. I first contacted Kenwood USA who gave me the part number and that I

HU Leo Thanks for this. I am still waiting for Kenwood to send me two of their connectors, supposedly arriving from Japan. It would be really good if a non-Kenwood source is found for spare parts. Onc

Thanks Leo I will certainly post the results of my efforts. Hopefully it won't take the connector long to get here. 73 Joe VA3JLF
