I am totally confused. Some say there are packet errors, some say format errors, some say their radio decodes nothing. Some say someone is "fixing" packets and re-injecting them. Some say they receiv fine...
Yet no one has posted what a raw packt looks like in standard TAPR-2 format *with* a description of how they got it!
I see good AISAT packets, but have they been fixed by someone first?
Could it simply be TONE skew? The packets are good, but because of toneskew some radios are not decoding anything?

Has anybody that has successfully decoded a packet from Aisat been using a Kenwood aprs-ready transceiver with a built in TNC (such as a D700, D710, D7, D72, or D74)? I just attempted to work a 20 degree pass, and the packets were very strong (full "s meter" - D710 doesn't actually have an S meter), full quieting - however the radio couldn't decode any of the packets. Even using the "packet monitor" function yielded nothing.
I know people have had success using pc software based systems, but haven't heard any first hand accounts of using a Kenwood TNC.
