VGC VR-N76 in KISS mode via Bluetooth on macOS


 

Hi All,

Apologies if this is old news.

With thanks to Andrew (KA2DDO) for the tip, I have successfully been using YAAC on a MacBook Air (M2), with the VGC VR-N76 in KISS mode.

I made several false starts trying to follow Linux instructions. Things work differently in MacOS!

My steps were as follows:

1) make sure your VGC VR-N76 is updated to the firmware supporting KISS
2) on the radio, hit the green button for settings, again to select “General Settings”, then "KISS TNC", then "Enable KISS TNC”. You can back out of the menus with the Red button.
3) on the radio, hit the greed button for settings, and scroll down to “Pairing” in the main menu and press the green button again to enable pairing to your Mac.
4) on the Mac, use Bluetooth System Settings to pair the VGC. It will show up as a headset, but _that is fine_. The Mac will notice the VGC supports the serial profile, and will mount it as (in my case) /dev/tty.VR-N76 and /cu/
5) in YAAC, configure a standard Serial_TNC port using that serial port device.

Works like a charm.

Thanks again Andrew for the great software (and support ;)
