The only time I've seen this type of screen is when my D710 has been put into either firmware upgrade mode via the Kenwood windows firmware program or memories programming mode using the Kenwood MCP-6

Below is my script. Btw, you can run the command "rigctl -m 234 -L" to see what are all the commands that your version of Hamlib can control on your radio. --David KI6ZHD -- #!/bin/bash #Change the VF

Hello Bob, I was able to get both Flrig 1.4.4 and Hamlib 3.3 working with my Linux setup (and the MCP-2A program in windows too) . The supported functionality of Flrig is pretty basic where it only su

Hmmm.. I just tried with Flrig 1.4.4 and can't even get the "Init" indicator to go green. Does anything in Flrig work for you on the D710? Alternatively, I tried using hamlib v3.3's rigctl but that's

+ Added one more new GUI tool Hello Bob, There are a bunch of programs out there that leverage the Hamlib, Flrig, OmniRig subsystem to control a D710's CAT interface to control it: Flrig - http://www.

You have to connect to the TNC with a serial terminal program and issue the "HBAUD 96" command. Page 36 http://manual.kenwood.com/files/TM-D710_CD-ROM_English.pdf --David KI6ZHD

Hello Joshua, Ok.. that's good and considering they have a checkbox for this in the terminal program, that shows how common of a need there is for this. Ha.. I can't say I've ever tried "mobile packet

Hello Joshua, The issue you're describing is a classic "terminal backspace" issue. Have you done some internet searches for this issue? https://www.google.com/search?q="screen"+backspace+doesn't+work

Hello Ryan, For weak signal packet work, you'll be a LOT better off not using the TNC in the D74 or D710. Instead, disable the built-in TNC, fully open up the squelch, and use a properly tuned Direwol

Nice link John.. thanks for that little nugget. Too bad it's gone off the primary website though. --David KI6ZHD

Hello Joshua, I could go on and one here about the issues with many of these cheap chinese radios be it their slow and/or inconsistent key up times (requires a high TXDELAY), their slow or inconsisten

Hello Joshua, When you say "handheld", what radio was this? If you say Baofeng, I won't be surprised it didn't work well. That's strange to hear it wouldn't accept a connection from the same callsign

Hello Joshua, Your first sentence isn't complete so I cannot tell if you ARE able to create a connection or not but I'm assuming KJ7LVZ-9 (D710 TNC) to KJ7LVZ-2 (BPQ32) works. It's the reverse path th

Hello Joe, Ok.. that's the two common ways APRS programs can interact with the D710 TNC. I have read some programs attempt to toggle the D710 from APRS12 mode to PACKET12 to transmit a UI packet and t

Hello Joe, The APRS12 mode on a D710 can definitely transmit but only the TNC will create the required packets for position, objects, and even be a digipeater. If you're looking for your computer-base

Hello Joe, The serial connection on the back of the main radio body of a D710 is for programming the memories of the radio, to be used with Echolink, and also use the working-but-not-Kenwood-supported

If you connect to the TNC via the COMMAND interface, can you successfully transmit a BEACON or other packet? --David KI6ZHD

The D710A does G3RUH 9600bps packet just fine --David KI6ZHD
