Kenwood TM-D710GE Radio User Manual


 
APRS-16
Note:
When the built-in data band is set to cross band, the Voice Alert function
does not operate.
Voice alert takes precedence even when TONE, CTCSS and DCS are set.
When Voice alert is ON, you cannot perform TONE or CTCSS frequency
selection and DCS code selection.
When the packet speed is 9600 bps, the TONE will disrupt the
demodulation of the packet. Set the packet speed to 1200 bps when using
Voice Alert.
WEATHER STATION DATA OUTPUT
Enter Menu mode and access Menu 615.
Transmit <TX>
This setting determines whether or not to transmit the
meteorological data obtained from the Weather Station, with
the APRS data communication.
Transmit Interval Time <TX INTERVAL>
Set the interval at which the meteorological data is
transmitted with the APRS data communication.
The interval can be set to 5, 10, 30, or 60 minutes.
The following meteorological data is transmitted:
Rainfall
Air temperature
Wind direction
Wind velocity
Atmospheric pressure
Humidity
This data is transmitted with the APRS standard format (latitude/
longitude and time information).
You can verify the meteorological data being output by viewing
MY WEATHER STATION. (Press [F], [WXi])
SETTING AS A DIGIPEATER
DIGIPEAT
Enter Menu mode and access Menu 616.
When using the TM-D710G as a digipeater, set whether or
not you digipeat a packet which includes your callsign in the
packet path.
In the received packet path, if you have set your callsign in
MY CALLSIGN (Menu No. 600), the digipeat completion fl ag
(
) is added to your callsign and will then process the relay.
(For example, “JA1YKX-1” > “JA1YKX-1
”.)
UICHECK
Enter Menu mode and access Menu 617.
This function will not relay a one-time received UI frame within the
set UICHECK time. This is effective for each of UIDIGI, UIFOOD, and
UITRACE.
UI frame (Unnumbered Information frame)
Data can be transferred and the APRS beacon, etc., can be used
without making a connection. UIDIGI, UIFLOOD, and UITRACE are
all specialized UI frame relay processing modes.
UIDIGI
Enter Menu mode and access Menu 618.
When using the TM-D710G as a digipeater, set whether or
not UI digipeat is run.
When receiving a UI frame that matches your entered
character string alias (RELAY, WIDE 1-1, etc.) of the
beginning part of the packet path that has not yet been
digipeated, the digipeat completion fl ag (
) is added to your
callsign (the callsign you set up in MY CALLSIGN) and
the relay will begin processing. (For example “WIDE 1-1” >
“JA1YKX-1
”, etc.)
1 Rotate the Tuning control to switch the function ON, then
press the Tuning control.
2 Rotate the Tuning control to select “ALIASES”, then press
the Tuning control.
The display for entering a path appears; the fi rst digit blinks.
You can enter 0 to 9, A to Z, , (comma), and –.
