I want to run winlink packet and vara fm on a D710 at the same time. I think it could be done and I am wondering if I would need to include RMS Relay ?
Can both RMS Packet and RMS Vara run on the same frequency? which program would have the priority if they were on the same frequency?
thanks for your help!

Ah this is amusing.

I used a Signalink USB sound interface because it provided the PTT signal.

You can connect to the back 6 pin mini-din connector.  I set t his as external data on B side.

Now, Echolink requires squelch to determine if there is signal on the receiver.  In its absence noise will pin the echolink node to always receive.

So:

- create a jumper set for the 6 pin mini-din on the Signal link but do not take the receive signal for the 6 pin mini-din.

- use the speaker jumper cable to take the headphone/speaker jack on the D7610 and feed it to the auxiliary input on the Signballink

Now the receive signal has squelch from the D710 and things can operate as expected.

The goal is to set up a "repeater node" via Echolink at my home QTH with the TM-710A to allow user access to a repeater for which I am the Trustee.  Putting Echolink on the repeater at the repeater site is not an option at this time, although that would be the preferable route.

The TM-D710A is supposed to have something in the hardware or firmware to facilitate an Echolink Repeater Node, but there seems to be a paucity of info in the manual (or perhaps I just don't understand it!).

Hello Larry,

You didn't mentioned what is your OS of choice but I have the following instructions for using Svxlink on Linux with a D710 which is very reliable:

With the cables from Kenwood (or home made), it works quite well. If I recall, there is an Advanced manual that covers the setup for Echolink mode. The Kenwood interface is all you need to connect to the computer.

Our club uses this on the W4AFC-R node.
