Don't remember anyone replying to this, so........
So, what's the score with the Kenwood TH-D7 then?
I'm thinking of getting one. Will AGWPE drive it? How well does it work
with UI-View (both using it indoors and in the car)? How well does the
9k6 packet work with it?

Right Keith, I have one, it's about 7 months old and it's the plums.
What's wrong with it?
The antenna isn't brilliant, but it works, there are a number of
replacements available from over the pond, with much better performance.
The belt clip is ok, but you can rip the back off the battery if you catch
the radio whilst it's attached to your belt.
KISS mode doesn't work too well, infact Roger is working on this at the
moment.
What's good about it?
Pretty much everything else. I've had no problems whatsoever with mine.
There have been reports of problems with the A model, so much so that
Kenwood listened and quickly did a bug fix of the radio for those in the US.
To specifically answer your questions:
Don't know about AGWPE, but the KISS thing may be a problem.
The tracker side works fine with UI-View (I use mine in the car all the
time) and the messaging on the will work with the next (?) release of
UI-View.
9k6, haven't tried it yet, but I'm going to try it this weekend coming
during a node test.
Hope that helps.....
