[aprssig] D710 questions

[Andrew Rich (Home)]

01. The TNC has moved into the head ?

Looks that way - you can use the head stand alone

02. The com connector on the head, is that RS232 and is it a plug I  can buy 
?



03. The GPS port, 4800 ? what sentences ?

2400/4800/9600

04. The data port on the back - straight of disc ? so I can use those modes 
that need a DISC tap from here ?

CD-ROM-ALL-English.pdf

05. cct diagrams ?

Still looking

06. The "PC" connector on the body, just goes to the head ?

Must do - there is no TNC in the radio anymore

07. Can I use the D710 as a "TNC" so I can write LINUX programs for it ? 
serial

Looks like it

08. I am confused about the TNC moving to the head, and yet there is the 
connectors still on the radio.

Can someone confirm ?

09. Is my only option to feed GPS into the head ?

Looks like it - bummer - will have to make a 5V supply for GPS18

10. I need 5 volts for my GPS GARMIN 18 - somewhere on D710 ?

Can't see any
