[aprssig] APRN Info Needed

[David Sprangers]

John and Stephen,



Thank you for your replies to my questions and have cleared up a couple of
them. The one question I do have left is if I want to use my Kenwood
TM-700A for mobile SSTV, can I hook up the Argent Data camera to the 6-pin
mini din? If the answer is yes, how do I configure the radio for this?



John,



I am wondering if it would be possible to update your site with a comment
how the Kenwood’s VHC1 has been discontinued and listing a possible
alternative to the VHC1? This is where I got lost about the setting up the
Kenwood TM-700A with a SSTV camera. Since 144.390 should not be used, It
might help us newbies out by mentioning this on your site too.



Stephen,



I would like to use my HP tc-4200 tablet pc for this potential project
using Windows 7. Currently, I am using this laptop with a SiganaLink SL-1
running AGW.  I have tested both WinPack and UI-View with Precision Mapping
9 without any problems.  I would think this tablet could handle the SSTV
and related software.



Regards,



Dave
