[David Ranch]

Yes, definitely possible.. I've done it!   The trick is to change your 
"via" path from say WIDE2-1 to "ARISS".

Here is a doc specific to the D710 (makes creating an analogy to other 
radios easier [for me at least]:

Here is a good intro doc on using ARISS with links to doing general 
packet to the ISS too
