Kenwood RC-D710

[nickt]

I have a nice Icom IC-2820 in my D90, with all the D-STAR goodness. I'm thinking of adding the Kenwood RC-D710 as a TNC so I can use APRS on the analogue side. It seems like a great combination to me and it seems like Bob Bruninga (the APRS daddy) agrees.

This article seems to give a good overview of how it's done and other than buying the RC-D710 and the PG-5J cable/interface kit it seems very easy to do and gives the best APRS/D-STAR combo out there.

Anyone have any experience with this setup?

Thoughts welcome!

Cheers,
Nick.

By way of a follow-up, I finally got around to this today and am happy to report it works well. I wrote a blog entry outlining the details.

Cheers,
