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.

Setting up the TH-D72 for ISS packet:
Choose the APRS menu and set your CALLSIGN on the BASIC SET menu.
Tune the radio BAND A to 145.825 with a good antenna and minimal coax loss.
Turn on the TNC by pressing the TNC key to bring up the little tiny APRS12 lettering in the top of the screen.
That’s all y ou need to start receiving ISS APRS packets. (I think)
To transmit, you need to turn on your GPS **or** turn it off and manually enter your position using the POS key.
Then when you want to transmit, hit the BCON key twice.
Everyone, Did I miss anything in this minimal summary?

Bob,
I have the Kenwood TH-D72A that comes with TNC, but have no idea how to use it. Even the manual is some what vague. Is there anyone on this site that may be able to help me with it? The HT has over 500 menus and I'm still trying to learn all of them.
Thanks,
Jerry... _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. AMSAT-NA makes this open forum available to all interested persons worldwide without requiring membership.
