[Xastir] Kenwood D710E Assistance

[David Ranch]

Hello Dan,

I never had much luck in switching my D710 in and out of KISS mode let 
alone switch the various modes from the command mode due to timing 
issues, etc.  What I did find 100% reliable is the following program 
written by Guido Trentalancia IZ6RDB.  It was posted to some email list 
on the web so I made a copy of it and posted it here:

http://www.trinityos.com/HAM/CentosDigitalModes/usr/src/misc/D710/tmd710_tncsetup.c 



To compile it on your Rpi, just use:

    gcc -o tmd710_tncsetup tmd710_tncsetup.c


After that, just run the program with no options and it will display the 
available options.

> 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
