It has been explained that a proper KISS mode won't fit in the single ROM
that is in the TH-D7.

It's been a couple of years since I played with Xastir, but you can use
a "serial TNC" mode rather than "AX.25 TNC". I suspect this might work well
enough with the TH-D7 if the APRS traffic is 7-bit clean.
I bought the TH-D7e MkII expressly for it's built-in TNC with KISS support,
so I know how bad you feel.
