Kenwood TH-D72A problems using the COM port to receive inputs. Should APRSDRoid be able to controll the Kenwood from the Kenwood COM port?
I have a Kenwood TH-D72A and am connecting it to APRSDroid via a homemade bluetooth to com port adapter. This adapter seems to work because I can setup the Kenwood and APRSDroid to show position reports on the map when decoded. If I leave the Kenwood in APRS mode, over time, stations wil pop up on APRS Droid showing the range and bearing. I am not able to get APRSDroid to send anything to the Kenwood that causes a response in the Kenwood. I have tested my cable on an oscilliscope and see the data coming into and going out of the Kenwood and note that it is properly converted in bluetooth. For instance, I have seen messages going to the Kenwood that start with my call sign once I click send position.
My problem is in what APRSDroid sends to the Kenwood. The Kenwood doesn't seem to do anything with them and I am wondering why?
One question, should the Kenwood be in any other mode besides APRS. There is a Packer 1200 mode. I am using the COM port. Not the USB port. I'm wondering if Packet 1200 is active on the COM port and I should be using that. I do not think so. I heardthat Packet 1200 only looks at the USB port.
I have switched off the inernal GPS on the Kenwood and set it to receive the GPS from android. I have tried all kinds of different options, my hunch is that the data going to the Kenwood is not correct.
Should APRSDroid have the connectoin protocol
- TNC(KISS)
- TNC (plaintest TNC2) <-- Call sign is readable or 3) Kenwood (NMEA waypoint)
I have the Kenwood set to output 9 char waypoints in the kenwood format. I have tried various options for the connectoin protocol .
I can tell the Kenwood to disable the internal GPS and get, from the com port, GPS. SHould APRSDrtoid be sending a GPS position to teh Kenwood that doesn't include my call sign in a message?
Is it possible to set the Kenwood D72A to use the TNC in Kiss mode and have it receive commands from teh COM port. I know this is possible to do when use the Kenwoods usb port. What isthe preferred way to use the 72a with aprs droid?
APRSDroid had smartbeaconing featuires, as well as messaging, should I be able to use this with my 72a on the com port? Thanks, Jeff
I have no information about the issues you have mentioned. You know better than me. I'm sorry I couldn't help. TA3IA 73

Hi, I've recently created a wiki page on the different modes of operation with Kenwood devices: https://github.com/ge0rg/aprsdroid/wiki/Kenwood-D7x0
The page is oriented towards the mobile D7x0 rigs, but the same principles apply for the D72. Unfortunately I don't have one handy to write the correct descriptions into the wiki page.
I got my TH-D72 pretty recently and haven't tried doing much with it using the com port, but I thought I remembered reading in the manual that the com port was primarily for connecting an external GPS or weather station or some such, and I remember mention of something along the lines of what you said about packet mode only working over USB, so I suspect the problem here is that the Kenwood isn't listening for incoming packets over the serial port, only the USB port. I'll get out my old RS-232 cable from my TH-D7 and try a few experiments and report back here my findings.
