 Setting up the TH-D72 for ISS packet:



Choose the APRS menu and set your CALLSIGN on the BASIC SET menu.



Tune  the radio BAND A to 145.825 with a good antenna and minimal coax loss.

Turn on the  TNC by pressing the TNC key to bring up the little tiny
APRS12 lettering in the top of the screen.



That’s all y ou need to start receiving ISS APRS packets. (I think)



To transmit, you need to turn on your GPS **or** turn it off and manually
enter your position using the POS key.



Then when you want to transmit, hit the BCON key twice.



Everyone, Did I miss anything in this minimal summary?

Bob,

I have the Kenwood TH-D72A that comes with TNC, but have no idea how to use
it. Even the manual is some what vague. Is there anyone on this site that
may be able to help me with it? The HT has over 500 menus and I'm still
trying to learn all of them.

Thanks,



Jerry...
