YAAC and TH-D72


 

Hi all,

I installed YAAC on my Ubuntu and connected my TH-D72 with the USB cable to the computer.?
Using Putty, I can connect to my TH-D72 via /dev/ttyUSB0 and I am able to send commands to the HT, including Connect, which is keying the radio.
On YAAC, I configured a serial_tnc port with ttyUSB0 and kiss on. HT is in Packet mode, but i am not able to transmit any beacon.

Any help would be appreciated.

Greetings.

A Kenwood TH-D72 in Packet mode is a TNC2-compatible TNC, which (as you noticed) starts in TNC Command mode (not KISS mode). However, YAAC only uses KISS mode. So, you must tell YAAC to issue the commands to switch your TNC to KISS mode in your Serial_TNC port configuration by specifying the TNC2-compatible setup command. If you leave the YAAC configuration at the default KISS-only setting, YAAC will ignore the command-mode packet reports from the D72 because they aren't in KISS frames (because you never told the TNC to switch to KISS mode), and the TNC will ignore (or worse) your beacon packets because KISS frames aren't UNPROTO commands.

Hope this helps.
