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.
