Title: Kenwood TM-D710 TNC problem
Post by: WA8YEP on 2013-05-22, 18:27:20

Just installed my third remoterig on a TN-D710 and all basic functions work well.  However the TNC does not key the transmitter on command from the computer terminal  The terminal recognizes the TNC on boot-up but is unable to key the transmitter.  This function works perfectly when remoterig is not in the circuit. 

Any suggestions or ideas?

Hi as I have written in the manual

Remember that the buttons on the microphone will not work. If you need DTMF use an other
Mic with built in DTMF encoder. The MC-59 do not have it. It's also possible to program DTMF
functions to the radio which will available from the Control panel. Packet and APRS functions
are not tested, normally used functions works as in the normal setup.

The packet modem is located in the frontpanel, I guess thats why it doesn't work. I may need som signals which is not transfered by the Remoterig.

Will the TM-D710 TNC read APRS data?  I am only interested in the receive function on the TNC, not being able to transmit is not an issue.

Thanks!
