Buff,
I don't recommend the Olympus VN-6200PC. Though it's a nice recorder, it
saves only WMV files. I'd rather have had MP3. It also dramatically desenses
the receiver in my FT-470 on the 70cm FAST1 downlink (maybe other
frequencies, too, but I haven't surveyed the band).

Hi Patrick and all,
Seems the TH-D72A is pretty much a replica of the TH-D7(A) with some minor
modifications.
One word of caution on spliting the audio at the HT. DON'T DO IT.
Let me explain. I have the TH-D7(A) and used a plug adaptor to go from the
1/10", 2.5mm, recepticle to 1/4" for the headphones. Everything worked
great, for about a year, then I noticed the audio was cutting in and out.
Turns out the weight of the adaptor and sometimes I used a splitter to
record, made the contact very poor. Now if I plug in the HMC-3 head set
there isn't a problem since the two plug system, Speaker-Mic jack, holds and
maintains the connection very well. If I go back to the single audio out
plug, the problem resurfaces.
What you could possibly do is find and solder a 1/10, 2.5mm, plug to a wire
then run a couple feet to the splitter so there will be little or no weight
on the recepticle at the HT.
Figured I'd save others from a headache.

Several commented on my audio during the two passes I worked, as well as
"selling" them on the new radio. If a bunch of D7s show up for sale, maybe
a few of them will end up in the hands of those interested in working
satellites.

Do you have a drop-in or fast charger for your D7? I think the wall-wart
charged my battery in 4 or 5 hours on Saturday night. The battery had a
partial charge in it, enough to power on the radio and perform a full reset
before letting it charge fully. I haven't looked at the model numbers for
all
the accessories closely, since so few of them are in the stores now. I'll
get
some of them as they arrive in the stores on the slow boat from Japan.
I have an old Kenwood speaker/mic, and the external power cables are
the same as for the TH-F6A and TH-D7 (among others), so I had all the
accessories I could get for the radio right now. I didn't use the
speaker/mic
yesterday; I used the mic on the face of the radio, and plugged my audio
splitter (including adapter to step down from the 3.5mm plug on the splitter
to the 2.5mm speaker jack on the HT) with earpiece and audio recorder
into the speaker jack.
I've read the other posts on this thread, and I will take a look at the DUP
setting when I get home tonight. It is possible that the way I had it set
up
(transmit on VFO B, receive on VFO A) is the only way it works on the
D72. If that is the case, then Kenwood did it right by their choice of VFO
A having to be the receiver when in DUP mode. VFO A is more sensitive
than VFO B. Being able to use the joystick-like 4-way control button on the
face of the radio to tune up and down made it easy to make the adjustments
on the receive VFO, without having to use the knob on the top of the radio
(press A/B to switch VFOs, then press down on the joystick button to move
down 5 kHz, then A/B again to get back to VFO B before transmitting - all
done with the thumb that also pressed the PTT on the side of the radio).
Packet in general, as well as looking at the APRS functionality beyond
simply transmitting my location, will be something I take a closer look at
some other time in the near future.
I apologize if I appear to be going into too much detail on what I've done
in setting up the radio before I went on the air with it yesterday. I'm
coming
at it as someone who hasn't used Kenwood HTs in at least 15 years until
the past few weeks when I bought a TH-F6A, and no experience with the
TH-D7. If you know the TH-D7, you'll be able to get running quickly with a
TH-D72. The manual would still be a useful read for those people, to learn
about the new functionality in the TH-D72.
For those interested in reading the manuals without shelling out cash first,
Kenwood has a good download site for instruction manuals of its ham gear:
http://manual.kenwood.com/en_contents/search/
Just enter "TH-D72", and you will see two sets of links. The first set are
for the PDF version of the printed manual supplied with the radio, in
several different languages. The other links that have "CDROM" in the
description are for the detailed manual that is supplied on a CD with the
radio. For software used with the radio (virtual COM port driver, along
with the Memory Control Program) along with software for other Kenwood
radios, go to:
http://www.kenwood.co.jp/i/products/info/amateur/software_download.html
I haven't looked on the CD that came with my radio, since I didn't want
to pull out the CD/DVD drive and plug it into my netbook last night. That
was why I went to these links to download what I might already have on
that CD. :-)
73!

I'm sure that's what Kenwood was looking for, to keep R&D costs for a
new ham HT down, but I think you are getting more than just a minor
upgrade to the TH-D7 with the TH-D72. Not much change for FM
satellite work, but improvements on the packet side and especially
for APRS.

A good suggestion. This problem may or may not present itself,
depending on how much stress is put on that speaker jack. I will
probably rig up a short cable like Jeff describes in the near future,
possibly by cannibalizing an old speaker/mic so I can have the
two-plug connector going into the radio, to reduce the stress on the
speaker jack.
Nigel's suggestion of a speaker/mic is one I have thought of, and I
will try it the next time I'm out with the radio. I have an old Kenwood
SMC-34 speaker/mic, which has a speaker jack on the bottom of the
mic, along with 3 remote-control buttons that can be defined in the
radio and even a volume knob on the face of the mic. I could put the
radio on my belt, and use the 3 buttons to switch between VFOs
(define one button as A/B) and do my tuning adjustments during a
pass (the other two buttons would be the up and down tuning
buttons), all without having to look at the radio. This may be a bit
easier than working the buttons on the face of the radio during a pass.
My splitter would go into the jack on the speaker/mic, and from there
audio would go to my earpiece and my recorder.
I'm still poking around with it, including working an SO-50 pass last
night. So far, so good. I've put a one-piece Diamond SMA/BNC
adapter on the antenna connector, and have been using only antennas
and coax with BNC connectors. This adapter almost makes the radio
look like it came with a BNC connector, and now I don't have to fiddle
with the SMA connector. I did the same thing with my other HTs with
SMA connectors (VX-8GR, TH-F6A), so I would not have to stress
the SMA connector every time I want to change the antenna or coax
going to it.

Although my Nokia N900 has an audio-recording app I installed (a
freebie), I rarely use that. Some phones make it difficult to plug in
a patch cable to record audio that way, and prefer you to use the
phone's mic element to do the recording. My phone has a 4-
conductor 3.5mm (1/8") jack that is used for audio going in or
out of the phone plus composite video output. I can plug standard
earbuds or headphones with a 3-conductor 3.5mm plug into the
jack, but would have to make an adapter if I wanted to use it to
record audio off that jack. If I am not using a splitter to record audio
(i.e., working ISS passes or anything not full-duplex), I will run the
recording app and my audio recorder near the radio's speaker to
have multiple copies of the audio. Plus the N900 phone app uses
WAV as the native format, so I have to run those files through
Audacity or some other program on a computer to convert them to
MP3s.
The recorder I use for my satellite work (Sony ICD-PX820) has a
USB cable, uses MP3 as its native recording format (4 different
encoding rates, depending on the audio quality), and looks like
a thumbdrive or external hard drive when plugged into a computer.
I don't need to use any special software to transfer audio from the
recorder to the computer, but the software that comes with it will
convert audio between different formats including MP3 and WAV
(the software is used to transfer recordings from other Sony
recorders that do not present themselves to a computer as a USB
drive). It has standard 3.5mm jacks for audio in and out, so my
audio patch cables work fine with it. Much more convenient to work
with than my phone with its app. Many other recorders have USB
interfaces, use MP3 natively, and are not terribly expensive. More
than $5, but you don't have to go too expensive to have something
that has most or all of this functionality.
