Making it all work!

The Kenwood TH-D72A/E is now ready to interface
with the Geosat 6 APRS.
Now that the configuration is complete, it’s time to
see if it will work.
1. Turn off the Geosat 6 APRS and the TH-D72A/E.
2. Connect the two units using the data cable pro-
vided with your AvMap Geosat 6 APRS. Plug the four-
conductor plug, with three black insulating rings,

into the I/O port on the Geosat 6 APRS. This is the
top jack on the right side of the Geosat 6 APRS. Make
sure the plug is firmly seated in the jack. Open the
COM cover on the TH-D72A/E and plug the three-con-
ductor plug (two black insulating rings) into the COM
port. Again, make sure it is firmly seated. A common
problem with operation failure is not having the plugs
firmly inserted in the units, or having the connections
reversed. Double check your connections.
