[Kenwood] Testing the TNC in a Kenwood TS2000

[Robert Bethman]

Go to page 49 of the TS-2000 Manual.  It requires a computer to be attached through the DB-9 ( RS-232), connector.  You have to use Hyperterm or such from an older computer.  Newer Operating Systems do NOT have this!

Not all commands are available!

Is there an easy way to test whether the TNC in the TS2000 is working or
not?  We don't have a DX cluster in town, so I can't use the DX spots
function.  Will the TS2000 decode APRS data, and if so, how do I have to
set that up?

Also, I have a Kenwood TH-D7A HT that does packet.  Is there a way to set
it up to send a message to the TS2000 that the TS2000 could decode if the
TNC was working?  I am trying to get the TS2000 going on Sky Command, and I
have all the settings correct, as far as I can see, but I can't get it
working, and I am wondering if the TNC in the TS2000 isn't working
correctly.  The TH-D7A is decoding other's APRS messages, so it is decoding
ok, and when I try to start Sky Command, the TH-D7A does sent out a packet
burst, and the TS2000 shows that it is receiving the signal on the
subreceiver, but it never seems to send any data back to the TH-D7A.

Any help on how to test the TNC in the TS2000 would be most appreciated.
