Hi Bruce, You need to spend some time with the manuals (both the printed and cd-rom versions). This is an extremely complex radio system do not be fooled by it's size.
Date/Time is set automatically when you turn on the internal GPS (page GPS-2 cd-rom). You have to set the time zone manually via menu 196. Page 33 of the printed manual tells you how to input text/data to the menu options. It's likely that most of the APRS defaults will work, but spend some time with the manuals and the APRS web-sites to figure out what options are needed/required in your particular area. Contacting a local APRS Elmer would be helpful as well. Have fun! 73, Jeff Moore -- KE7ACY CN94 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bruce" <kk...@arrl.net> oh, boy, got a thd72a. however, this is my first kenwood radio and i got it to turn on and figured out how to put it on a local repeater. that works. next i thought i would give the aprs a try. i have never used aprs before. i put my callsign in. but have no idea what to do next. the manual isn't really any help as i don't know what values need to go into the aprs fields or where to program in the aprs frequency. which i don't have either. i may have bit off more than i can chew with all the features of this radio. also, how do you set the time/date. looks like there is a place for it at the bottom of the screen but can't figure out what to punch to get it to do something. 73...bruce _______________________________________________ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.
