Press [TNC] on the operation panel of transceiver (“APRS12” should appear on the display).
Note: For a more detailed setup of APRS and the options available, see section 3 PREPARATIONS FOR USING APRS of
AvMap G5 owner’s manual.
With the AvMap G5, the only thing needed is to verify in the setup menu that the interface is 9600
APRS. The 3-pin plug is inserted into the TM-D710A/E GPS port of the operation panel and the
4-pin connection to the TMC port of the AvMap G5. In no time, you will see APRS activity on your
AvMap screen.
APRS activity is stored in the APRS subfolder of the contacts folder for easy reference so you can
navigate to it or monitor a particular APRS callsign in Tactical Mode. With the Kenwood
TM-D710A/E and AvMap G5, there is no need to mess around with USB to serial converters nor is
there need for a cumbersome computer. Also, the serial input to the TM-D710A/E is on the
operation panel, so it is close to the GPS receiver for a neater installation.
