Sounded great.\n\nSeveral commented on my audio during the two passes I worked, as well as\n\"selling\" them on the new radio.  If a bunch of D7s show up for sale, maybe\na few of them will end up in the hands of those interested in working\nsatellites.\n\n> Ordered mine from HRO a few minutes ago. Also got the drop in charger.\n> Since they changed battery to a  Li-ion, the D7A charger (NiCad) will\n> not work. Hope these new batteries last longer than the old NiCad's.\n\nDo you have a drop-in or fast charger for your D7?   I think the wall-wart\ncharged my battery in 4 or 5 hours on Saturday night. The battery had a\npartial charge in it, enough to power on the radio and perform a full reset\nbefore letting it charge fully.  I haven't looked at the model numbers for all\nthe accessories closely, since so few of them are in the stores now.  I'll get\nsome of them as they arrive in the stores on the slow boat from Japan.\n\nI have an old Kenwood speaker/mic, and the external power cables are\nthe same as for the TH-F6A and TH-D7 (among others), so I had all the\naccessories I could get for the radio right now.  I didn't use the speaker/mic\nyesterday; I used the mic on the face of the radio, and plugged my audio\nsplitter (including adapter to step down from the 3.5mm plug on the splitter\nto the 2.5mm speaker jack on the HT) with earpiece and audio recorder\ninto the speaker jack.\n\nI've read the other posts on this thread, and I will take a look at the DUP\nsetting when I get home tonight.  It is possible that the way I had it set up\n(transmit on VFO B, receive on VFO A) is the only way it works on the\nD72.  If that is the case, then Kenwood did it right by their choice of VFO\nA having to be the receiver when in DUP mode.  VFO A is more sensitive\nthan VFO B.  Being able to use the joystick-like 4-way control button on the\nface of the radio to tune up and down made it easy to make the adjustments\non the receive VFO, without having to use the knob on the top of the radio\n(press A/B to switch VFOs, then press down on the joystick button to move\ndown 5 kHz, then A/B again to get back to VFO B before transmitting - all\ndone with the thumb that also pressed the PTT on the side of the radio).\nPacket in general, as well as looking at the APRS functionality beyond\nsimply transmitting my location, will be something I take a closer look at\nsome other time in the near future.\n\nI apologize if I appear to be going into too much detail on what I've done\nin setting up the radio before I went on the air with it yesterday.  I'm coming\nat it as someone who hasn't used Kenwood HTs in at least 15 years until\nthe past few weeks when I bought a TH-F6A, and no experience with the\nTH-D7.  If you know the TH-D7, you'll be able to get running quickly with a\nTH-D72.  The manual would still be a useful read for those people, to learn\nabout the new functionality in the TH-D72.\n\nFor those interested in reading the manuals without shelling out cash first,\nKenwood has a good download site for instruction manuals of its ham gear:\n\nhttp://manual.kenwood.com/en_contents/search/\n\nJust enter \"TH-D72\", and you will see two sets of links.  The first set are\nfor the PDF version of the printed manual supplied with the radio, in\nseveral different languages.  The other links that have \"CDROM\" in the\ndescription are for the detailed manual that is supplied on a CD with the\nradio.  For software used with the radio (virtual COM port driver, along\nwith the Memory Control Program) along with software for other Kenwood\nradios, go to:\n\nhttp://www.kenwood.co.jp/i/products/info/amateur/software_download.html\n\nI haven't looked on the CD that came with my radio, since I didn't want\nto pull out the CD/DVD drive and plug it into my netbook last night.  That\nwas why I went to these links to download what I might already have on\nthat CD.  :-)\n\n73!\n\n\n\n\n\nPatrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK\nhttp://www.wd9ewk.net/\n\n",
