It isnt the APRS baud rate that is the issue. It is the serial cable
between the dual bander and the hf rig.<br>
<br>
Kenwood was way to shy on providing complete workable instructions
for the first time user to setup and get working SkyCommand ....
especially the difference in setup between different radios and the
differences in the keypad operation of SkyCommand.<br>
<br>
A null modem serial cable is connected between the db9 connector on
the TS-480 and the TMD700A / TMD710A. This is where the lack of info
and incorrect info for the baud rate settings keep most folks from
getting past the initial sync of the dual bander to the TS-480.
Until you get that sync, not nothing else is going to happen with
SkyCommand.<br>
<br>
Try it out, its fun.<br>

<div><span> I haven't done SkyCommand yet, but it seems
that the data-rate-same should refer to the APRS (command
