| Winlink Express with Kenwood VM-71 | WD7GT | on 1/8/21 |
| Hi, New to Ham Radio and these forums, but hopefully this is the right place to post this. If not, would you please direct me to where it should be posted. I am trying to get Winlink Express to work on my Kenwood VM-71. I am using the B band. I am using a Mobilinkd TNC 3 to connect the laptop to the radio. I am using a cable supplied by Mobilinkd Using APRS.FI app on my Iphone, I can Beacon out through the TNC on the Kenwood successfully. So I think I have the TNC and the radio set up correctly, and the cable is working fine. Also, I can operate Winlink just fine with my Yaesu VX-6R. So I think (might be wrong!) I understand all the basic Winlink settings. I did move from mutliplex to simplex in the TNC settings per the Mobilinkd instructions. And since the APRS is working fine I think this is correct So I think I have all the COMM ports, etc. set correctly in Winlink. I have tried both KISS and KISS Port 2 (thinking this might be the "B" band). When using the VM-71 and Winlink Express, there seems to be no communication between the radio and the TNC - no red or green lights, etc. I have searched the internet, but have not seen this problem addressed. At least at a beginner's level that I understand. Are there any suggestions of things I might try to get this to work? thanks for your help 73 George KJ7WCV |
