[Kenwood] D700 & D7AG Malaise.

I want to thank Ken, John and Randy for their responses to my problem 
with programming the D700 with MCP.  I was still confused after I 
read their replies, but when I finally got it out of my mind that the 
radio is a dual band set up and not a twin band, then everything fell 
into place.  It is programmed and working nicely now...except for one 
thing.  I set up the APRS "by the book" and it is receiving just 
fine, but it isn't transmitting my beacon at all.  Obviously there is 
something I'm missing.  Now, I haven't received the programming cable 
for the D7 yet, but, in the meantime, I set it up for APRS "by the 
book".  The rub is that it IS transmitting my beacon, but not 
displaying received packets.  It is receiving them nicely judging by 
the audio and S-meter, but not displaying them and when I LIST I get 
a no data response.

So, again I need to prevail upon those of you who may have been 
there, done that.  Thanks.
