Kenwood TM-D710GE hints, tips and tricks
This radio is not in production anymore.
APRS
The Kenwood TM-D710GE has a GPS built inside the head so you can put an APRS beacon on the air without the wire hassle.The internal GPS has to be turned on with the GPS button after which the iGPS icon appears. Here are some hints and tricks that are not in the manual.
- After the GPS searches for satellites, finds a few of them and gets a lock/fix the iGPS icon will start to blink.
Mostly on other hardware this is shown the opposite way and the icon starts to blink if a fix is needed. So keep in mind, blinking is good as it shows the internal GPS has a lock/fix.
- The internal GPS in the control head of the rig, placed in front of the hand brake, has a very good reception as it even keeps tracking inside my garage outfitted with only a small roof window. Its summer here so the car has no roof.
- Default smart-beaconing settings are good as they are.
- In the Netherlands digipeating is not allowed with a normal licence, you need an "unmanned station licence" to do digipeat on air so set all digipeat options to off.
- The rig shows GPS coordinates in minutes or degrees but also shows a very useful Maidenhead locator. After the GPS has a fix and the iGPS icon is blinking press the POS button and the Maidenhead locator is on the bottom line. Navigate trough the pages with the left and right arrow keys.
Other hints, tips and tricks
- If you leave the head in the sun the display will turn black. If it cools down it will turn normal again.
- Note that the problem with the ceramic filter in the 2nd IF stage that is present in older versions of this radio has been solved by Kenwood in this Kenwood TM-D710GE.
- The transmit frequency range of this radio can be expanded by removing resistor W601 as described here.
- There are two VFO's in this rig, one on the left and one on the right called A and B.
VFO A is unable to transmit or receive on 800 to 1300MHz.
VFO B is unable to transmit or receive on 118 to 136MHz.
This feature is important if you want to do APRS and air-band scanning at the same time. To use air-band and APRS simultaneously set B as the data band so that the APRS is on the B side.
If you want to do APRS and listen to the 23cm HAM band for a duplex use the A side as data band.
The range the radio can do on side/VFO A and side/VFO B is:A 118 MHz 118.000 MHz through 135.995 MHz AM+FM A 144 MHz 136.000 MHz through 199.995 MHz FM A 220 MHz 200.000 MHz through 299.995 MHz FM A 300 MHz 300.000 MHz through 399.995 MHz FM A 430 MHz 400.000 MHz through 523.995 MHz FM B 144 MHz 136.000 MHz through 199.995 MHz FM B 220 MHz 200.000 MHz through 299.995 MHz FM B 300 MHz 300.000 MHz through 399.995 MHz FM B 430 MHz 400.000 MHz through 523.995 MHz FM B 800 MHz 800.000 MHz through 1.299.995 MHz FM - In the summertime the GMT settings for the rig are +2:00 in the Netherlands.
In the wintertime the GMT settings for this rigs are +1:00 in the Netherlands. - To connect to the TNC you need to make a serial connection with the COM port on the head of the rig, not the pc port on the brick. It is the same cable as the PC port.
- Even though all brochures of this rig claim it can decode DTMF and can be remote controlled by DTMF it can not decode DTMF at all. On 08/31/18 Kenwood announced that radios with serial numbers B8610001 and up no longer feature DTMF decode capability. (The decoding chip is not in the rig anymore.) This means the TM-D710GE does NOT support remote control with DTMF via a HT or EchoLink functionality. The TM-D710GE is not able to remote control the TS-590S or TS-890S.
- The Kenwood TM-D710GE does NOT have any repeater function and does not do crossband repeat. (The TM-D710GA does.) However, this can be changed by placing a 0 Ohm resistor/jumper from PAD0 to PAD2 as shown in the picture below.
- The Kenwood TM-D710GE does NOT have weather channels or weather channel alert. (The TM-D710GA does.)
- The TM-D710GE has a TNC build inside that has a mail/message-box option. Other packet radio stations can connect to your TNC with packet radio and leave a message for you.
- The Tone function only works with transmit. Use CTCSS if you also want to use a Tone for receive. For simple repeaters Tone is good enough but on combined digital repeaters use CTCSS so you do not have to listen to the digital blerps.
- Send Email over the APRS network by pressing the "MSG" button then "NEW". set EMAIL in the TO field and start the message with the Email address, a space and then the message. (You can not send Email from PC to an APRS station.)
- Don't forget to check out if there are firmware updates that give extra fun. The latest panel firmware update increases the amount of rigs shown in the APRS list.

How to click on a DX call in a cluster and set your rig to the correct frequency in Ubuntu.
I have Hamradio Deluxe working under WINE on Ubuntu but realized I only used the DX-cluster. I found Xdx that has exactly the same functionality and works native on Ubuntu.
Xdx is a Linux DX-cluster client. It features the possibility to click on a DX entity in the cluster where Xdx automatically changes the frequency of your rig to the stations location on the band.
It is installable from the Ubuntu Software Center where it has the option to install the rig control software in one go.
or open a terminal and type: sudo apt-get install xdx
After starting the program you will have to set the URL and port of a DX-cluster server.
To get a list of DX-cluster servers check: http://www.ng3k.com/misc/cluster.html
or http://www.iw5edi.com/ham-radio/?dx-cluster-telnet-links,65
After connecting with the DX-cluster server there is a welcome text in the bottom part of your screen. It is called the terminal screen and you can send several useful commands to the server:
reject/spot 1 on hf/cw Do not show spots on HF with CW.
reject/spot 2 on vhf Do not show spots on VHF. (second rule)
accept/spot on hf/ssb Only show spots on HF in SSB.
show/bands Show what bands are available for filtering etc.
show/filter Show the filters that are set.
apropos buddy Show any help info on the buddy command
You can check who is connected to the server and chat with them.
who Show connected users. (To check if someone is DXing.)
talk callsign blah Send blah to a connected user with callsign.
Just like in a packet BBS you can list, read and send messages worldwide to all servers in the cluster.
directory Show a list of public messages. (Like in a BBS.)
read 25 Read a message with number 25 in the directory list.
Go to Setting > preferences.
Check out the number of your rig with rigctl. Type in terminal: rigctl -l

I have set the speed of My Kenwood TS-590S USB connection to 19200. In my computer it turns up at USB0. So the following settings apply for me:
Note that I have a Kenwood TS-590S (#231) but instead I used the Kenwood TS-570D (#204) because that one works very good.

How to export from HRDLOG.net and import to QRZ.com?
To import an ADIF file in QRZ.com I need an ADIF file first. Hmmm... Where to get it? HRDLOG.net does not have an export function to ADIF file.
In HRDLOG you can send the logs to eQSL. eQSL has a feature to export to ADIF.
First make sure to register an eQSL account. Then set the connection to eQSL up in HRDLOG via: Home>Modify profile>eQSL
Next go to eQSL and click on Log/Outbox. Select the entire list.
On the bottom of the page there is a Download link: ( Download entire Inbox in ADIF format (for importing into some loggers) Click on the link.
Next click on the .ADI file link.
An HTML page will appear. Download it to disk in your browser with File>Save Page As.
This .ADI file can be imported into QRZ.com.
Log in to QRZ.com and go to My Logbook. Next go to the Settings page where you will be able to add the file.
Now you can start harvesting those QRZ awards.

How to Brother HL-2135W on Ubuntu via secure WIFI router
The Brother HL-2135W laser printer only has one USB port and a wireless port. In this "how to" the USB port is never used and there is no need for any USB cable at all.
Your Ubuntu computer can use the printer wireless via your network Access Point or via a wired connection to your router, both work fine after this how to.
I use standard 32 bit Ubuntu 14.04 with the standard Unity GUI and the printer-drivers can be found in the "Ubuntu Software Center" if you search for Brother and unhide the technical items.
The printer runs fine with USB but cannot be configured with USB.
Here is how to get the printers wireless connection to your secure wireless router configured so you can use the printer by any computer in your network without using USB or Windows .
First turn on the printer in range of your wireless router Access Point.
Don’t forget to turn on the printers WIFI after the reset if needed. IP range 169.254.x.x is given when DHCP fails.
BRAdmin Light works perfectly under WINE (Install wine in Terminal with " sudo apt-get install wine") and finds the wireless printer too.
It uses its own port (631) to do that. BRAdmin Light is on the CD that came with the Brother HL-2135W and on some download-sites.
Make a wireless connection in Ubuntu to the printers SSID called "SETUP". You might want to edit the network connection in your Ubuntu to connect successfully. Here are the settings:
Start BRAdmin Light by pressing the Icon in the dash and it will discover the printer.
With this tool you can set the printers network settings into the same IP range as your laptop or PC so you can connect to the web-control with your browser.
As Ubuntu driver choose the jetdirect driver (The one with the ip address.) Then choose Brother foomatic.
Please let me know if this was any help.
Your Ubuntu computer can use the printer wireless via your network Access Point or via a wired connection to your router, both work fine after this how to.
I use standard 32 bit Ubuntu 14.04 with the standard Unity GUI and the printer-drivers can be found in the "Ubuntu Software Center" if you search for Brother and unhide the technical items.
The printer runs fine with USB but cannot be configured with USB.
Here is how to get the printers wireless connection to your secure wireless router configured so you can use the printer by any computer in your network without using USB or Windows .
First turn on the printer in range of your wireless router Access Point.
- Check if the printers WIFI is running, check for the green LED under the USB port on the back of the printer to light up. A new SSID called SETUP should be on air in the 2.4 GHz band. (We might need this SSID later on.)
- If it does not light up, press and hold the Go button for 10 long seconds to turn on the printers WIFI.
- Next, press the Go button 3 times within 2 seconds and the "network status page" will be printed.
- Now check the settings on the paper. If they are all wrong you might want to reset the printer to factory defaults.
If you wish to reset the print server back to its default factory settings (resetting all information such as the password and IP address information), please follow the steps below:
Turn off the printer. Make sure that the front cover is closed and the power cord is plugged in. Hold down the Go button as you turn on the power switch. Keep the Go button pressed down until all the LEDs light up, and then the Ready LED turns off. Release the Go button. Make sure that all the LEDs turn off. Press the Go button six times. Make sure that all the LEDs light up to indicate the print server has been reset to its factory default settings. The machine will restart.
Don’t forget to turn on the printers WIFI after the reset if needed. IP range 169.254.x.x is given when DHCP fails.
- Check the IP address on the "network status page" you just printed and open it in your browser. It will open the printers web-control site. (A website inside your printer.) The standard password is admin/access.
BRAdmin Light works perfectly under WINE (Install wine in Terminal with " sudo apt-get install wine") and finds the wireless printer too.
It uses its own port (631) to do that. BRAdmin Light is on the CD that came with the Brother HL-2135W and on some download-sites.
Make a wireless connection in Ubuntu to the printers SSID called "SETUP". You might want to edit the network connection in your Ubuntu to connect successfully. Here are the settings:
Start BRAdmin Light by pressing the Icon in the dash and it will discover the printer.
With this tool you can set the printers network settings into the same IP range as your laptop or PC so you can connect to the web-control with your browser.
- In the web-control site you can set all kind of settings like wireless settings, IP, Subnet Mask, Gateway, SSID and DHCP.
- Set the printer to use the correct gateway and subnet mask and then set it to DHCP (under TCP/IP settings) and press submit to apply.
- Now go to "Network Configuration" - "Configure Wireless" and set up the access to your secured wireless router. (Use infrastructure Mode.) Press submit to apply the new settings.
- After this is done, Reconnect Ubuntu again to your own wireless Access Point.
- Reboot the printer or power it off and on again. The printer will now connect to your wireless Access Point and receive an IP from its DHCP server.
- Restart BRAdmin Light and it will again find the printer, this time is in the correct network IP range.
- Any computer in the network can now connect to the web-control site of the printer with an internet browser.
As Ubuntu driver choose the jetdirect driver (The one with the ip address.) Then choose Brother foomatic.
Please let me know if this was any help.
