If you mean the TM-D701Ga, it has the ability to have custom configurations stored in different PM (Programmable Memory). So I set up the radio for normal repeater use, and save it to PM0. Then set up for APRS 1200 for ISS and PSAT and save to PM1. Then finally set for Falconsat 9.6k and save to PM3. Not sure if your version of the radio has this feature.
Hope that helps -Kevin (KK4YEL)

The ISS digipeater has been unreliable in the last couple of years. Firstly, it is turned off whenever there is a special event happening on the space station (space walks, re-supplies, etc). Secondly, the packet module and radio are really old, and we've been seeing erratic behavior from the pair (sometimes it's not on at all, sometimes it's on but weak, sometimes it's deaf, etc.). There is a fancy new ARISS transceiver slated to go up to the station soon, and we all hope that will remedy the situation. Of course, sending a few bucks to ARISS can't hurt that timeline. :)
Regarding the switch between the 1200 and 9600 packet sats - there is no easy way. I also use a D710 and it would be nice if you could select a "profile" to swap in all of the path, modem speed, and duplex options -
but
to my knowledge this is not possible. If you are connected via KISS serial connection, you could automate this - but I'm not sure if there are any software packages out there that would do that - at least without having to manually change all the values via individual KISS commands (which doesn't seem to be any better than using the built-in D710 UI).
