[aprssig] RE: D710a Question Redux

[Robert Bruninga]

Rory, 

I think there was an excellent reply to his on the SIG that not
only answered the question, but also the commands needed to set
it up...  I have not used the external input jack so cannot
comment on personal experience.

Yes, when set up with the right command.

I don't know.  I don't think so for data, but with an external
TNC connected to the audio and PTT, it should.

You can use the D710 display on any radio for APRS, so you can
connect it and the tiny track to any other radio and get this.
So if you are only conecting to the audio parts of the external
D710 connector, then you should be able to do that too on the
D710.
