[aprssig] aprssig Digest, Vol 111, Issue 16

Sun Sep 22 11:08:22 EDT 2013

As a side note and possibly some help.  The D700 functions without a head attached *IF* you power it up with the Serial command to power it up.  If you tried that on the D710 and it still didn't power up and work, then it probably won't  If you didn't try that, it is worth a try.

  P.S.  I like that: "An error in the listing."  Yea, THE LISTING.  Might show up where you can't see the cut wires...

If you folks asking if it will work without the head, yes and no. If you mean without the ORIGINAL head, yes, it will - I replaced my busted-up (volume/squelch knobs bent and damaged) head with a new RC-D710 that I bought last year. I keep the damaged head to use as a TNC for various other projects like on my Maxtrac or with the interface kit, with any 2-pin (mic/sp) handheld.

If you mean will the D710 work without any head attached, you are correct, it will not function. It needs to have either the factory head or a RC-D710 on it. (I don't know about the head that comes with the 700.)
