All:
Has anyone used the Kenwood TS-710 series radios with their internal
TNC's to work Falconsat or any of the Pacsats of the past? I believe it
has full-duplex capability, but I'm not sure if the internal TNC can be
active on both VHF and UHF.
If it does meet this criteria, then the only thing to do would be to
connect the rig to a PC running Wisp. Talk about plug-n-play!

The TM-D710 can do full duplex with it's internal TNC. Include "FU ON" in
the KISS initialization string (which essentially just turns off DCD sense).
I plan to attempt this with my TH-D72 either tonight or later this weekend.
The TH-D7A will do full duplex in standalone APRS mode, but not in packet
mode.

Just be warey of doppler shift
I drive my radios using a satellite program.
I also do SDR
Without doppler you are going to loose part of your pass.
Is the TS-710 9600 baud ?
I get fantastic results with 8 kHz bandwidth

I use Ham Radio Deluxe for satellite tracking and Doppler correction. I
don't see the TM-710 rig control list, so it may not work. I'm guessing
it might if one selects one of the other Kenwood radios.

Kenwood mobile radios and HTs only have 5 kHz steps and no PC frequency
tune. You have to manually tune, but it works OK. You might miss a packet
or two while tuning, though.

Sounds similar to how the TS-2000's internal TNC to worked when I used
it to work Pacsats years ago. I guess the only obstacle would be tuning
steps i.e., does the TM-710 allow small tuning steps in 5 KHz or less on
70cm.

If you specify which pass, I'll send you a short APRS message Paul.

David, PJ4/NA2AA, says he will try operating on

will be leaving on Saturday afternoon. Had a nice
chat with him on 28486 where he said he was pleased
with the effort and is planning to bring back more
equipment and pre-amps to make a permanent satellite
station on Bonaire. He will do LOTW when he gets home.

That makes things easier - just finished typing up a short message. I

PocketChip looks interesting - certainly small enough for portable work.
Any chance of recording a short video while accessing Falconsat with
this setup?

>>> I'm going to be trying the BBS, not the digipeater
Hey guys! Don't forget that it's not one or the other. I'm not familiar
with how to use PB/PG yet, but at least with WiSP, it pretty much runs
itself. So, you're free to work "ISS-style" QSO's with UISS at the same
time.
Yes, on some of the higher passes I've been quick enough to view the
refreshed directory list and mark a message or two for "Priority" download;
sometimes there is enough time left for them to download but so far, more
often than not, newly requested downloads happen on the next pass.
Of course everything I just said assumes a Windows computer. I would also
like to learn more about PB/PG, so thanks in advance for any learnings that
you all might share as time goes by.
