[amsat-bb] ISS APRS? (Easy switching)

[Robert Bruninga]

Yes, it is easy to maintain multiple profiles in the D710.  One for
Falconsat and one for ISS/NO84, etc

Just program one PM memory for normal operation
Then one for Falconsat at 9600 using the path of PFS3-1, and then another
one for ISS/APRS/NO84 using the path VIA ARISS

Then operations of any are only one PM push button away.

But you must change the menu item AUTO-PM-STORE to OFF, or otherwise the PM
will NOT remember the basic settings but will auto-save-anything you do and
so you never know for sure what is in there.  I always thoguth it strange
that the default for AUTO-PM-SAVE defaults to ON which defeats the whole
purpose (in my opinion) of having PM memories in the first plave.

Subject: [amsat-bb] ISS APRS?

Trying to become active on APRS/packet on the satellites using my Kenwood
TM-D710. A couple of questions:

1.) Anyone know why the ISS digipeater hasn’t been active for the past
several days?

2.) Is there any easy way to switch the path and other settings between
FalconSat3 and ISS/NO-84? I’d love to work both, but don’t do a lot of APRS
operating so switching between them isn’t easy for me.

Anyone else using the TM-D710 who could share some tips on best operating
practices?
