Hey, its not you. Kenwood's poor documentation is to blame .... hi<br>
<br>
I wanted to be able to operate at the base, mobile, portable and
with skycommand. The TS2000 series is not conveniently a mobile rig,
and its hf performance is not quite as good as the TS480 series.<br>
<br>
Three separate units gives quite a bit of flexibility and reduce the
impact for the over all system if one of the three doesnt work ....
hi<br>
<br>
However the TS-2000 on the base with the other moduals, yepper thats
a winner.<br>

radios at the HF end not just the TS-2000 alone. Mention
of the TS-480 should have tipped me off, but I was confused
and stupidly dismissed it. I was completely focused on the
RS-2000. SOmehow I convinced myself that this was from a
TS-2000 group, not tapr. DOH!</span></div>

<div> It isnt the APRS baud rate that is the issue. It
is the serial cable between the dual bander and the hf
rig.<br clear="none">

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 clear="none">
<br clear="none">
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 clear="none">

Try it out, its fun.<br clear="none">
