I hope to come up with some interesting stuff for the HT list that probably wouldn't be of too much interest to the general APRS public. I hope that you won't think that my enthusiasm for my Kenwood will be considered 'commercials' for the D7 and accessories. Although I'm in both lists, I have gotten my best 'D7-specific answers here rather than the APRSSig list. I appreciate that I can have the more general APRS list vs the more 'Kenwood-specific' list for my unique 'D7 issues. I've added the VC-H1 to my 'D7 and would assume that here would be a better list for posts than the APRS list. Am I wrong? Should I leave my best 'D7 resource list and go hope that an SSTV-specific list would be a better option? I appreciate your comments, I'd like to know what you think.

I *really* don't want to reopen this topic (which was beaten like the dead horse that it was), but while it's there you might want to get the SMA antenna connector replaced with a new one as a preventative step. Learning that the duty cycle of that connector is only 500 connect/disconnects and seeing how all the little metal flakes connect in it has made me quite careful with mine. You might even go with what some others advised and see if they're willing to replace it with a BNC.

Due to popular demand on the AMSAT SIG, I thought I would post my TH-D7A(G) to UO-22 digipeater settings here on the APRSHT SIG for other interested parties to see. I am using a laptop in terminal mode (like Procomm Plus or Hyper Terminal) & the TNC functionality of the TNC. In other words, I am not using the APRS TNC function. Press the D7 TNC keyboard button twice for this function. My TNC configuration string is pretty simple. MYCALL: N5EQT-3 HBAUD: 9600 UNPROTO: APRSAT via UOSAT5 Press the DUP key on the D7 keypad to place it in full duplex mode. All other TNC settings are the factory defaults that the D7 powers up with. You will need to go to (Menu) 1-4-1 & set the packet band for A:TX B: RX, since mode JD is up on 2M & down on 70cm. You will also need to go to (F) 8 & set the step size of each VFO to 5 Khz. To compensate for Doppler shift, I use a beginning (AOS) downlink frequency of 435.130, a center of pass frequency of 435.120 & I ended the pass (LOS) with a frequency of 435.110. I tune the D7 in 5 Khz steps. The downlink is pretty easy to find because it is constantly transmitting. I usually hear periods (seconds) of silence, & I think it is because of nulls in my receive antenna pattern. For those new to 9600 baud FSK, it sounds like open squelch noise. After listening to / for the signal, you will find that it has a certain 'quality' that distinguishes it from regular squelch noise. As a verification of your receive capabilities, see if you can receive the various news & status bulletins. A sample follows below. UOSAT5>NEWS:Use both uplinks - 145.900 and 145.975 UOSAT5>SKED:Sked 1.5 File2:75b72 Next:Wed Aug 15 12:00:00 2001 UOSAT5-12>BBSTAT:Open 12a : UOSAT5-11>STATUS:B: 75591616 UO-22 uses 2 uplink frequencies, 145.900 or 145.975 (your choice, both are active). Since there is approximately +/- 3 Khz of Doppler shift during an entire pass, I have found there is no need for uplink tuning. For my pass predictions, I use STSPLUS. I am familiar with it & it works very well. It is a freeware / shareware program & can be found at: http://www.dransom.com/stsplus.html My antenna is a Cushcraft A270-6S (3 ele VHF & 3 ele UHF) antenna. A duplexer is not required for this antenna. Pointing, via the armstrong method, in the general direction of UO-22 works here. My uplink packet looks like this: EM22lu/- de N5EQT Pls QSL via kenp@etex.net When I am successfully digipeated via UO-22, my received packet looks something like this: N5EQT-3>APRSAT,UOSAT5*:EM22lu/- de N5EQT Pls QSL via kenp@etex.net That's it.

Has anyone tried running this under Windows ME? As with all the Kenwood software (for D7AG or D700), Link700 does not appear to work under WinME. What's the deal here?

I don't know if it exists in the AG, as I have not gotten mine converted yet. Somewhere along the line, someone at Kenwood decided to implement Xon/Xoff protcol, but got only halfway there. If you connect up a terminal program to the TH-D7A, and type a CTRL S, the TH-D7 will then stop transmitting data, as it should for this protocol. Th problem is, it will not then recognize the Xon character, CTRL Q, an it will stay mute forever, or until the radio is re-booted. Here is the kicker. In Windows ME, there is an equally stupid bug. Upon opening a serial port, it seems to send out a CTRL S, regardless of the flow control mode it is set for. This would normally get ignored, since a device with hardware flow control would ignore it, and a device with working Xon/Xoff protocol would get a an Xon as the first thing AFTER opening the port. I have a laptop that runs ME ( an HP ) and it does not run any programming software through the serial port, when using the TH- D7A. You can, however, type commands by opening the port, then cycling the radio off and on again. That clears the Xoff. The surprising thing is, that I can run programming software on this computer, if I use a USB to serial adapter. They are notorious for incompatability, but in this instance, it works better than the serial ports. I have an older Compaq laptop running Win 95. This one works fine. Of course, this doesn't explain away problems with the TM-D700. Since the problems seem to be mostly with laptops, running Windows ME and 2000, I am investigating the power conservation features of these computers/operating systems.

This is someone trying to totally JAM the HF network. Especially in the latter case where the packet could generate over 84 copies and MOST of them will be gated to HF. Each such packet could generate over 4 minutes of solid dupes on HF! Crazy in the extreme.... RULE #1. WIth Internet gateways never more than a few hops away, these days, there is no reason for VHF-to-HF gaiting period; unless you are of National importance such as Bush or Elvis.

But fortunately there are some factors that will mitigate the damage to a very large extent: 1) TNC firmware limitations, for those GATE stations that are relying on the TNC's gating logic; 2) The setting of the UIGATE parameter that the gate owner put in. Factor 1: I can speak only for my experience with a KAM which thankfully (in this case) is rather dumb in it's abilities. It will only gate a packet whose next unused path field is GATE. It never gates a packet like this to HF (but it would digipeat it on VHF if UIFLOOD is enabled): xxxxx-14>APK101,RELAY,WIDE,WIDE5-1,GATE: In other words, the packet has to get to the gate on exactly the number of programmed VHF hops. In effect, very little ends up being gated except for a lucky few packets. The notable exception is the local guy who sends via a short path like WIDE,GATE, because the GATE can probably hear the WIDE. Software-run gating logic is a totally different ball of wax though. Software has the ability to examine the entire path to look for a "GATE" field, irrespective of how deep it lies in the unused fields, and it might respond to a GATE field wherever it is. That depends on the logic built in by the SW designer. Factor 2: FCC rules seem to state that the frequency privileges of the originator determine which bands his packets can be gated to. Note that comparisons to cross-band voice repeaters are irrelevant because a voice repeater and an automatic data forwarding station are governed by different rules. I would never have known about this were it not for a cautionary note in the Kantronics manual. It states that either the gate operator must be present as a control operator, or he must verify the privileges of all VHF>HFusers. That pretty much rules out open access, unattended operations in my book. At least I personally felt it wasn't worth risking my license for. Many other gate operators might feel the same. To disable the VHF>HF direction you set "UIGATE ON/OFF". The net result is that in several months of gate operation, I did see some packets that originated on VHF but they were the minority. Which is good because 10.151 LSB is loaded at 25% or greater much of the time (BTW, the vast majority of what my TNC decoded were fixed station beacons and digipeated copies thereof. Due to the dearth of what I considered to be "real traffic" I lost interest and shut off my gate.) >RULE #1. WIth Internet gateways never more than a few hops away, these >days, there is no reason for VHF-to-HF gaiting period; unless you are of >National importance such as Bush or Elvis. LOL! Yeah, that says it well. As far as I can tell the real mission of the HF gate network is to serve the mobile user who gets out of range of the VHF network. There certainly can be a legitimate need for a VHF station to be able to hold a QSO with an HF mobile, but IMHO it will work out much better to have a human sitting at an HF base station doing a direct HF<>HF QSO. 73, Tony KD7TA --- You are currently subscribed to htaprs as: lyris.htaprs@tapr.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to leave-htaprs-845T@lists.tapr.org Questions regarding the SIG go to the SIG administrator: wa1lou@tapr.org
