Digipeating with Kenwood TM D710


 

Hi All,?
?
I am trying to get my Kenwood D710 to Digipeat. When looking at the D710 port log, I get the following:
?
WinMain:2025-01-12T18:11:34.370 DigiPeating Not Supported on KWD710(Pkt) Protocol Ports
?
Any ideas of what is going on? I am using the built in D710 TNC.
?
Thank you
?

Are you trying to get the D710 to DIGIpeat, or are you trying to get APRSIS32 to DIGIpeat using the D710 as an RF port?
The difference is in which device is reading, decoding, and retransmitting the received data.
A) When using APRSIS32's DIGI function, the D710 needs to be in KISS mode.??
??? KISS mode allows the attached computer to handle the message.
??? ONLY KISS packets are passed to APRSIS32 and acted on, so the radio must be in KISS mode for this option.
??? This requires the APRSIS32.XML to be modified
B) When using the built in TNC of the D710, APRSIS32 will have ABSOLUTELY NO function and won't give any feed back.
??? When the Radio is Pkt mode, the internal TNC handles all functions.? It may pass some information to a computer,
??????? but the communication is radio to computer only.? The internal D710 TNC is really in control.
??????? I do not believe any APRSIS32 generated messages go out over RF in this mode.
?? All settings are done within the D710, so reading the D710 manual should provide the needed information
??
From your post, the radio is in Pkt mode.

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.

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.

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 ).

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
