[Kenwood] Fw: TM-D700 "Problem" ---- Update (APRS)

[Jim Miller]

Update?  I wish but NO change !!!

We checked/changed all his settings to the same as mine for both the "radio"
(1) menu and the APRS (3) menu.  NO change.  I did not put an WSWR/power
meter on his radio or swap out the antenna (again) - we can talk and he gets
my APRS msgs to him at 10 plus miles.  He has 170 memories loaded so we
haven't "reset" the radio yet.  I will get him to make sure he has a current
save.  Sure would like to find what the problem really is instead of just
shooting it with a reset.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks es 73, de Jim KG0KP
