TH-D710 and DIREWOLF
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHello everyone, this morning during our amateur radio lunch there is one of my members, who asked me a question about DIREWOLF it works with a Kenwood TH-D710 radio and he tells me that he has a "Tune" function on his Radio and if he activates this function it could go directly to a frequency according to direwolf Does DIREWOLF have this on I give an example on the site where APRS is located I have a 145.130 Mhz repeater and my question is if DIREWOLF can I put this information in direwolf and Kenwood TH-D710 operators and as soon as they press the "TUNE" function, their second "VFO" automatically switches to 145.130 Mhz Thank you all for your help, hoping to understand me Good day Luc Drolet VE2 LUQ Pr¨¦sident de VE2CVA C.R.A.V.A.

Hi Luc, The Tune function is a feature of the TM-D710 and some other radios whereby you can have the non data-band side of the radio QSY to the frequency advertised in an APRS packet, but only IF the APRS packet is decoded by the radio's internal TNC AND the APRS packet is in the correct format here. See here You can advertise the frequency of your repeater in direwolf by sending that format. I don't know exactly what to add to the direwolf.conf because I use YAAC to beacon my repeater. It should look like this?
I hope that helps even a little.

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýYAAC's repeaterfinder plugin has the logic to parse APRS repeater objects and send the commands to tune a Kenwood radio as well. You need the Kenwood PG-5H cable to the transceiver body to send the tuning commands. The repeaterfinder plugin
also can tune Icom radios using CI-V command protocol.

this morning during our amateur radio lunch
there is one of my members, who asked me a question about DIREWOLF
it works with a Kenwood TH-D710 radio
and he tells me that he has a "Tune" function on his Radio and if he activates this function
it could go directly to a frequency according to direwolf
Does DIREWOLF have this on
I give an example
on the site where APRS is located I have a 145.130 Mhz repeater
and my question is if DIREWOLF can I put this information in direwolf
and Kenwood TH-D710 operators and as soon as they press the "TUNE" function, their second "VFO" automatically switches to 145.130 Mhz
Thank you all for your help, hoping to understand me
Good day

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHello everyone, Wow, you said several things OK, if I understood correctly at the level of the repeater where my Rasperry is located with Direwolf I must have a Kenwood radio to connect with my raspberry PI "Direwolf" Because I don't know what to do!!! Currently I have a Yaesu FT2600 to activate this function on Kenwood TH-D710 radios Thanks for your help Greatly appreciate Luc Drolet VE2 LUQ Pr¨¦sident de VE2CVA C.R.A.V.A.

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHello Luc, The D710's "tune" button is on the control head so when the APRS system running on VFO-A decodes a specific APRS beacon packet and you press the "tune" button, the radio can QSY VFO-B to that same frequency, PL tone.? Your I assume your Yaesu FT2600 is meant to be a dedicated APRS radio so having such an option from DIrewolf would QSY your radio away from 144.390 to this alternative frequency.? That would be bad.? It doesn't matter though as your Yaesu radio doesn't support RIG control so you cannot remotely change it's frequency anyway.? Very few VHF/UHF FM radios offer rig control but the Kenwood v71/D710s do (though they are all EOLed now). --David KI6ZHD On 03/19/2023 12:11 PM, Luc Drolet

Luc, You want to configure YOUR direwolf to send the correct APRS packet so that OTHER PEOPLE with Kenwood radios can use the Tune button to QSY to your repeater, yes?

Oh! That's different. You would have to send an Object message (not a self position beacon) that is precisely formatted to be compatible with the Kenwood's built-in TNC.
;rptrname-*111111zddmm.mmN/dddmm.ddWr146.990MHz T100 - my repeater description where the ddmm.mm is latitude, dddmm.mm is longitude, the rptrname- is an exactly 9-character string identifying your repeater, the 146.990 is the frequency in megahertz, the T100 is the CTCSS tone (without the fractional Hertz and with a leading zero if only two digits, i.e. T067), and the - is the repeater shift direction (+ for positive shift), and "my repeater description" is a short human-readable string. Now, how you put that in the direwolf.conf file is a separate issue.
