Just as the Internet has ushered in a new era of computing, APRS® has added a new dimension to radio communications. And you can experience it all with Kenwood’s new TM-D700A/E.
One of the greatest pleasures of exploration is being able to communicate each new discovery. And Kenwood’s TM-D700A/E Data Communicator allows you to do just that. This FM dual-band mobile transceiver harnesses APRS®, GPS and SSTV technologies to provide world-class communications for the Great Outdoors.
As smart as Kenwood’s new TM-D700A/E is — with its extra-large amber & black display (reversible) — it is even smarter inside. This new-generation mobile transceiver features a built-in TNC to offer a wide range of data communications options, including simple packet operation using the AX.25 protocol. You can even send and receive SSTV images (using Kenwood’s VC-H1). But above all the TM-D700A/E is fully equipped to make the most of APRS® — the Automatic Packet/Position Reporting System.
