Re: Digipeating with Kenwood TM D710
|
I use the D710 TNC on the FalconSat3 9600 bird. When using the Kenwood 710, you need to plug the cable into the head of the radio not the body to use the TNC in KISS mode, at least on FS3, that's what I had to do in order to work the BBS on the bird. Those were fun days.? The bird was in high orbit, so it had a good footprint. 73 DE AI4LL
The D710 has digipeating built into the radio when the internal TNC is not in kiss mode. It's in the manual, that I don't have handy to tell you the setting to set for it to digipeater stand alone. Several YouTube videos on how to do it too.?
But, if you want APRSIS-32 to do the digipeating, you have to have a KISS port set up in APRSIS-32... that port can be something like a Digirig with a soundcard modem of your choice or? by using the 710 internal TNC in KISS mode.? Once a good KISS mode port is there, then you have to have the digipeat?settings in the aprsis32.xml -AND- APRSIS-32 in DEV mode ( an .xml setting separate from the digipeat?settings ).

That is a "third" method of connecting the D710 to a computer for packet: 1. D710 internal TNC in Packet12 mode ??? Old TNC3 style packet interface at 1200 baud - TNC controls TX 2. D710 internal TNC in KISS mode ??? KISS mode packet interface at 1200 baud where PC controls TX
3. DigiRig / Sound card interface ??? PC controls everything through virtual TNC software (UUZ7HO, DireWolf, ...)
I don't have a D710, so can't comment further.

Thank you Rob. Yes, I am using the D710’s built in TNC in Packet12 mode. I’m going to try with a KISS port and a DigiRig instead. ? Thanks for your advice. ? Facundo-KK4ODA ? ?
