APRX Kenwood TM-D710A Interface Setup

[Greg Schiedler]

Anyone have a working KISS Mode or TNC Mode Interface Section for a Kenwood TM-D710A

• Transceiver Firmware: v2.10
  
• Control Panel Firmware: v2.11
  
• TNC Firmware: v1.02
  
  

#-------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Kenwood D710 OpenWRT aprx.conf

#-------------------------------------------------------------------------

<interface>

serial-device /dev/tts/1 9600 8n1 KISS

initstring "TC 1\xdHBAUD 9600\xdKISS ON\x0dRESTART\x0d"

callsign  KL3MO-2

tx-ok true

</interface>

This seem not to function.

I would like to use TNC Mode if at all possible.

I use KISS
Two parts to this, a cronjob which sets the radio to KISS, and which I
run from cron @reboot in case of a complete power failure
and this interface section

#put radio in KISS mode and start aprx
@reboot /usr/local/bin/tmd710_tnc_setup && /sbin/aprx



<interface>
serial-device /dev/ttyUSB0 9600 8n1 KISS
callsign $mycall # callsign defaults to $mycall
tx-ok true # transmitter enable defaults to false
</interface>

you will have to compile the code for your processor - mine is
"Feroceon 88FR131 rev 1 (v5l)" in a liberated Pogoplug

Hi,

Are you planning to transmit 9600bps on the air ? I am asklng this because of the HBAUD 9600 command in your initstring....

The issue might be caused by a malformed initstring... Your amissing the 0 of the return charachter \0xd

This is yours :

TC 1\xdHBAUD 9600\xdKISS ON\x0dRESTART\x0d

This shoulb be correct
TC 1\x0dHBAUD 9600\x0dKISS ON\x0dRESTART\x0d

Hi Guys

Thanks for posting this script

I am trying to set up my D72 as a Digi IGate for a Raynet event next weekend.

Im no linux bod and I am just playing with a raspberry Pi

The D72 uses a USB-Serial converter which is built into the radio. The actual TNC is the same as the D710 apart from the usb side of things. In this script could I define that it should use /dev/ttyusb8 which is the port assigned to the device.

Any tips would be fantastic

Thanks

Dan
