Product Description

KENWOOD Base Station Radio TM-D710A

The built-in TNC is compatible with the AX.25 protocol, enabling easy access to APRS functions. For 1200/9600bps packet communications, simply hook up the TM-D710A to your PC.

Cooperating with Bob Bruninga (WB4APR), who first developed APRS, KENWOOD has developed system firmware for the TM-D710A that enables easy APRS operation without requiring a PC. When connected to a GPS receiver this radio will display positional information, including direction and distance, and when hooked up to a weather observation device it can display temperature and rainfall information. All of this data can be exchanged with other stations. The information can also be output to a PC for map display using commercially available APRS application software.

Positional/directional data: With an NMEA-0183 compatible GPS receiver, in addition to current latitude, longitude and altitude, information is available on the distance, speed and heading of a mobile station.

Meteorological information: The TM-D710A can be connected to Peet Bros or Davis weather stations for access to wind speed/direction, temperature, rainfall, humidity and barometric pressure data.
