![]() Add a new port by selecting type "KWD710(APRS)". Start APRSIS32 and go to "Configure" then "Ports". Make sure the TNC is turned off on the rig, then using the USB cable, attach it to the computer. Now you need to make sure that APRSIS32 is able to talk to your radio. Accept the changes and close the General Configuration screen. Put that password into the "Password" field in APRSIS32. If you don't have one already, send an e-mail to containing your name and callsign to request a password. You need a password for your callsign to be able to connect to the APRSIS network. After you've installed APRSIS32, you need to go to the General Configuration and put in a M圜all-ssid. I'm assuming that you've already installed the USB drivers and your PC can communicate with the radio. Now you need to configure the APRSIS/32 software. So, if you entered "WIDE1-1" on the previous menu, just enter "WIDE" here. Set "Alias" to be the same string you used in your "Aliases" option under the UIdigipeat menu, except leave off the hops count. UItrace is the functionality that replaces the UI Frame string (WIDE, for example) by decrementing it's hops and retransmitting it with your callsign added. If you are setting up a temporary, event digipeater, you could enter something like "TEMP" or "EVENT" or something like that. If you don't have any digipeaters in your area or just want to add a fill-in digipeater, you would enter something like "WIDE1-1" here. This is the path that other stations will need to transmit as part of their beacon or message to hit your digipeater. Now you need to put something in the "Aliases" option. First, go in the APRS Menu and scroll to the Digipeat menu. I used this built-in functionality for the digipeating step. The TH-D72 has the ability to digipeat without the aid of software. ![]() Next, I'm assuming you've downloaded and installed APRSIS32. ![]() Here's how you do it:įirst, I'm going to assume that you have already properly set up the TH-D72 for APRS tracking with your callsign and an SSID. Alternatively you could program all the doppler corrected frequencies in memory and just use memories, but you still won't be able to do split operation and at least for SO-50 you'll have to switch back and forth between bands through the pass.One of my Twitter followers asked me to write instructions on getting the Kenwood TH-D72 going with APRSIS32 so you could have your own iGate/Digipeater. With the Fox birds (AO-85, AO-91, AO-92) you mostly only have to compensate for doppler on the uplink so you don't have to flip around from one band to the other as much. To adjust for doppler on SO-50 I have to switch from the B band (uplink/tx side) to the A band and then adjust the frequency, and then switch back to the A band to TX again. I store one memory each for the downlink and uplink (labeled "SO-50 DN" and "SO-50 UP" respectively) and transfer the downlink to the A band and the uplink to the B band using the F -> VFO key sequence. The Kenwood TH-D72A won't store cross-band split memories. DUP should be displayed at the top of the LCD screen. While the B band is selected enable full duplex using F -> DUP (0 key as well). How is your Kenwood TH-D72A programmed? I got one recently but haven't figured out the best way to configure it for satellites yet. Environmentįirst enable both the A and B bands by pressing DUAL (0 key). ![]()
