SUMMARY OF ENHANCEMENT
Besides APRS functions, the TH-D7A(G) has several
functions improved or newly added, as below.  You may
refer to the given pages to identify differences from a
TH-D7A.
BAND A & B
Without switching ON the TNC, you will not see ÒÓ
which indicates the current data band.  This modification
has been made because the TH-D7A(G) allows you to
select a different band (A or B) as the data band
between Packet and APRS operations.  Refer to page
12 on the other instruction manual...

27
ADJUSTING VOLUME BALANCE
The TH-D7A(G) allows you to adjust volume balance
even after blanking one band.  Refer to page 48 on the
other instruction manual (original).
SELECTING DATA BAND
When accessing a PACSAT, access Menu 1Ð4Ð1
(PACKET BAND) and select ÒA:TX B:RXÓ (or ÒA:RX
B:TXÓ).  Ò
Ó appears for the data transmit band and ÒÓ
appears for the data receive band.
PACSATs refer to satellites designed and launched for
digital communications using the AX.25 protocol.  The
PACSATs usually receive...

28
DCD SENSE
The TH-D7A(G) provides three methods for inhibiting the
built-in TNC from transmitting.  Access Menu 1Ð4Ð2
(DCD SENSE) and select one of the methods.  The
default is Ò
 OR  BANDÓ.  Refer to page 55 on the
other instruction manual (original).  The tables below
conclude when the TNC is allowed to transmit,
depending on the selection.
