[Xastir] Kenwood D710E Assistance

[Dan Rimell]

Hi Guys

Just a bit of background, Running Xastir on a RaspberryPi, the main purpose of this unit is for Raynet (uk emergency comms)

I have been using it with my D72 handheld with some success. What I did notice is that its fine with packet12 mode. I have a script on the Pi that runs Xastir on startup and that then fire the command to launch D72 into PKT Mode. 

I need this to be able to digi packets. Easiest way of doing this is to use the radio in APRS12 mode and set the UI-Digi on the radio, Effectively meaning that Xastir acts as a RF to IGate. However to use APRS12 mode the radio has to already be in that mode for Xastir to see the data from the handheld. Having used other windows flavor based software it can force the radio into the particular mode. My Scripts for the D72 are below

This issue also applies to the Kenwood D710 I am testing

Wonder if anyone has any tips.
