[ao16aprs] TM-D700a remote control

["Jim Gill" <jimgill@ix.netcom.com>]

I have been sending a lot of this information to the HTAPRS list, but it
occurs to me that it is applicable to this satellite sig also.  I have been
doing a lot of research on remote-controlling the TMD700 Kenwood radios.

The bulk of my work is posted at http://www.netcom.com/~jimgill/tmd700a.htm
, and I found a few more "must-have" APRS mode nuggets this morning.  Send
these to the serial port at 9600,8,n,1 while in APRS mode.

DTX 0   manual packet tx
DTX 1   PTT packet tx
DTX 2   AUTO packet tx

BCN 0  turns off beaconing if on AUTO
BCN 1  either turns on beaconing if in AUTO
or
BCN 1  **sends a beacon when in manual mode!** then returns to BCN 0.

Fabulous stuff for your remote control software projects.  Still have the
problem though of DCD sense to figure out when in automatic mode.  More on
that later.

I will continue to add research updates to my website, comments/suggestions
welcome direct or by sig.

Thanks,  Jim  N0RMO
