How to Configure UI-View32
For use of UI‑View32 with the TM‑D710 for APRS communications, the TM‑D710 needs to be placed in KISS mode.
KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) mode is a special mode to allow a PC to control the TNC protocols.
1 Press the [TNC] key to place the TM‑D710 in packet mode.
2 Ensure that “PACKET12” appears and the transceiver is placed in packet mode.
3 Open the Comms Setup window from the Setup pulldown menu in the UI‑View32.
4 In the Comms Setup window, configure for UI-View32 the communication conditions of the PC terminals in the
TM‑D710 as follows:
• Baud Rate: 9600, Data Bits: 8, Stop Bits: 1, Parity: None
• Com port: the same port number of a PC as that is assigned to the TM‑D710.
