[Kenwood] Testing the TNC in a Kenwood TS2000

[Jim Miller]

If you have RMS for messaging, you can go to HELP and select "simple
Terminal".  You can decode APRS or go an active packet frequency and monitor
("MON ON" and "MCOM ON"). Odd frequencies from 144.01 to 145.09.  For my
area 145.01 and 145.07 and 145.09.

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.
