    I'm trying to use my Kenwood TH-D7A(g) handy-talkie for some packet demos
    and am having real problems. My basic AX25 configuration is OK as I can
    hook up to a TNC-2 clone with KISS chip and it works fine.

    I put the D7 in KISS mode at 9600 baud (which it seems to drop out of on
    every power cycle, grrrr) and hook it up to the known-working linux setup.
    The D7 receives OK but seems to transmit only preamble flags; when you
    listen to a packet, there's just flags with no evidence of a data portion
    and nothing decodes at the other end. No data comes out of the thing, no
    matter how long I program the TXD.

    I understand that the D7 has KISS limitations due to buffer size, but I'm
    not even getting the basic function to work, and that doesn't seem right.

    Anyone got a D7 working with kernel AX.25, and have any suggestions for me?
    (As a data point, when the D7 is in normal packet mode using minicom as a
    terminal program it transmits just fine, so the hbaud, etc. are set
    correctly.)

    Thanks,

    John
