True. But most folks will find it easier and safer to use voice, rather than typing out a message on the microphone while driving. Sam ... From: Doug Dever...
... In my readings of APRS, it was suggested to turn on CTCSS of 100.0 to use only as a calling frequency to communicate with other people and then move off to...
Please do not transmit your D700 at 50 watts on APRS unless there is a need for it in your area. That need should only be when you are located in a rural area...
Did you use an antenna? I've never had to use 50w for anything. Even on the way to Dayton. 5w is usually fine, mid 20-25 is the max. You are right next to a...
Actually a better way to look at it is this. If you find you need 50w to transmit on APRS (which sadly I do and I live in an urban area) then get together with...
I have a Garmin 176C GPS hooked up to a laptop running Delorme Street Atlas 2004 USA Software, Version 4.0.0 - F2.1 - R1.038.1293.0.0. Is it possible to hook...
... Hmm. If the two stations (one strong, one weak) transmit simultaneously, either the receiver will only hear the strong one anyway, due to the FM capture...
I wonder how many hams have the audio turned down on the data band - I know I do. So, even if you sent me a phone message to QSY to another frequency, I'd...
That's why I use a PL tone to monitor the channel. I don't hear the digital noise, but anyone calling me with voice will be heard. Sam ... From: kg6jev...
Use the serial port on the D700. As long as the gps being used is sending NMEA strings you can run all at the same time. I used it with WinAprs and AprsPoint.....
I wonder how many hams have talked into the microphone while driving, then started to reach under the seat to check connections because they did not key the...
Tnx for the replys about the Ultimeter 2100 post. I'm still working on that in my head. I haven't found away to tune a frequency on a memory channel. Some...
James, Been there and done that. Realized the mistake after I didn't hear the courtesy tone on the repeater. I didn't check the connections, but looked at the...
Fred, You can make a cable Y cable with a DB9 and the 3/32 plug. I use this for a perminate install on my work truck. The cable on the 3/32 plug is just long...
Hello, as you wanted to know how exactly it has to be wired I will add a little bit to the first answer: You can split the serial output of the GPS (sending...
If I'm in my car and a couple of my friends begin a message conversation with each other on APRS, is there a way that I can see and read the messages? I might...
... Get together with your friends and establish an agreed-on "msg group" (3-P) and use it among yourselves. Works fine. whr -- W. H. (Bill) Reynolds, K8DNE ...
Thanks to all who have taken the time to reply to this post. Want to let all know that as of today I don't own a TM-D700A but am planning to get one in the...
Before I reset & reprogram my world, has anyone else experienced a failure to exit Visual Scan when they hit the soft ESC button? I seem to be stuck there....
Does anyone have experience using their TM-D700 with the Kenwood TS- 480HF/50Mhz as a crossband repeater? I have made the DIN cable to connect the 2 radios per...
Recently I was in an accident and my car was totaled. (Everyone is fine except the car!) I had a very well installed station and I could recover the tcvr and...
I have made an extension cable however I have only been able to get the RJ-? (I think they are RJ-8) connectors. They are the larger size 4 pin connectors...
There is nothing magic about the extension cable used on the TM-D700A. Get a length of CAT5 network cable and a couple of 6-pin connectors from Radio Shack...
Oops! Spoke too soon. The connector on the head end is a 4-pin. Looks like a standard telephone connector, but will have to look into it further. Dick -...
