Hi!
As AA5UK mentioned, I co-wrote an article covering the use of Kenwood's TH-D72 and TH-D74 HTs with the ISS and NO-84 digipeaters for the AMSAT Journal. That article is available from AMSAT's Station and Operating Hints web page:
https://www.amsat.org/station-and-operating-hints/
or at the direct link Adrian referenced in his earlier post.
I recently wrote an article "Making Digital Contacts Through the ISS", which appeared in the December 2018 QST. I now have a PDF copy of that article, available from the "Articles" folder in my Dropbox space:
This QST article has a chart with settings for some Kenwood and Yaesu radios currently in production (Kenwood's TH-D72, TH-D74, & TM-D710G; also Yaesu's FT-2DR and FTM-400XDR) with those orbiting digipeaters, along with the sidebar covering the legalities for US hams operating on the 145.825 MHz frequency.
I wrote another article on how to use the Kenwood TH-D72 and TM-D710G with FalconSat-3's cross-band digipeater for the AMSAT Journal, which is also available from the AMSAT Station and Operating Hints web page at the link above.
As WE4B mentioned, I have a folder in my Dropbox space with screenshots, and now a PDF, on how to set up a Kenwood TH-D7 HT for use with the ISS and NO-84 digipeaters. Look for the folder "TH-D7AG" in my Dropbox space for files related to that radio. As the TH-D7 has been out of production for over a decade, I did not reference it in the QST article - even though the TH-D7 is still a popular choice for FM and packet satellite work.
If only the ISS digipeater wasn't so deaf, since it came back on in the last couple of weeks...
73!

My daughter uses a D72 and I use a D7. The D7 although a bit different is amazingly similar and WD9EWK also has it documented with pics in his Dropbox account.
