#HRCC #hamradio #amateurradio
Kenwood needs to make software for IPAD, IPhone, and Mac OS. Love the radio but haven’t owned a PC for over 15 years.
Thank you to the great family that is HRCC , y’all make this hobby inviting , exciting and approachable .
Our pleasure!
Nice.. I may have to drop mine off with you Don for programming and a quick crash course.
I just got my D75A Yesterday and I like it! it's Work very well with the Bluetooth Terminal Mode, I use this Feature with my Android, with Blue DV Connect, you can use Your phone as a Bluetooth hotspot,
I bought the D-75 as my very first Ham 😏
Don, thanks gor yhe info,
The ID-52 has GPS locations for Analog / Digital, the TH-D75 only has it for DV/DR.
That is very perplexing. I am loving the GPS near-repeater feature in my ICOM 5100.
I bought the 74 when it came out some
time ago, about $600.00 in price.
Isold mine a few years ago, I did
not like the battery life, and I had 2
of them.
Additionally, I sold my IC 705, Yaesu
FT991, and Yaesu FT3D, as an aside,
because I don't have much use for
Fusion, C4FM, and D STAR anymore
I started with DSTAR in 2010, with
an ICOM 880 mobile as it was it then.
I gave my ICOM ID52, to a needy ham,
also to leave DSTAR.
I only have DMR now, and now know
how to program DMR Code Plugs.
When Yaesu had the special offer for
$500.00, for the first Fusion repeater,
I think the DR1X, our club bought it,
but there was little interest by club
members to obtain the equipment.
Now, our Tech Support person has
obtained a DMR repeater to be used
on one of our two UHF club machines.😊73 de Ray, licensed 62 years.😊
BBLink dongle works well too.
also make sure you put your D75A on DV Direct on the Menu,
a replacement for the 710 would be great, however I would like to see a competitor for the ft-891.... As for the 710, I added a btspp homebrew for that. It does aprs and kiss as well.
Thanks!
You bet!
the guy from Kenwood is yes, both the ID52 icon and the D75 only search D-star,
$700.00 price tag is good for this radio because it is a tri Bender! 144, 220, 440,
also 5 watts on all three bands,
ICOM needs to put this On the ID52A, Bluetooth Terminal Mode, with the Next Firmware Update,
Nice ... looking at yaesu ft5dr and this one. I don't care about aprs and there is no dstar repeaters near here ... my club members only use dmr. Is there any reason I've overlooked why I should buy this over the yaesu? Thanks
A new TMD710 with DMR and APRS and analog? I want it!
Full Duplex Please!
I have RT Systems programming software on the way. I love it for my Yaesu radio.
A must have for any HT.
Clarification, the TH-D75 will work with Apple Laptops, just not their phones/tablets.
Where can I download the user manual that was mentioned in the video?
Kenwood needs to update their Product Registration system. Does not have TH-D75A in drop down menu and does not allow data entry.
Please let them know we want 220 on the new mobile as well!
How about a good mobile version of the D75. Triband 25 watt1.25m, 50 watt 2m, 20 watt 70cm. The D75 with some power behind it. I prefer DMR to D star but that's just me. 220 is very under utilized and need to have a good option, and not this 1 watt 220 stuff.
it does only d-star repeaters both Kenwood and icom don't go to analog repeaters,
I am not complaınıng ın anyway as I love my D74. I just wısh the Bluettoth would work wıth IOS for ipad and that there was software for the ipad to control the radıo not just software to for memories. I use the 72 for duplex if i need to, but the bluetooth and software issues means I will not upgrade to the 75 in fact i will be unlikly to upgrade any of my kenwood radios going forward unless the bluetooth changes. My 710g could do with an update but again without ios bluetooth use i guess it will last for some more years to. Maybe kenwood could offer a upgrade version for a cost of course. Excellent video and Don is always pricless
Bring that up with Apple.
As I say not complaining just a wish
Kind of hilarious saying the D-75 could be even more expensive. If full duplex was done in the D-72, why are they saying it's about cost with the D-75?
I'm blind and I've been doing radio for over 5 years. Does this model have accessibility?
I hope this gets to you. But it has great accessibility features for blind folks.
Will the D-75 connect to a Apple Silicon Mac?
220, full duplex, and digipeater on the new mobile!!!
A New Kenwood mobile? Shut up and take my money!😁😁😁😁😁
this is why I only buy the Japanese Brands because of their Very High Quality Standards,
Where can the user manual be found
On the Kenwood website. 👍
@@HamRadioCrashCourse Imagine that. Looking for a manual for a radio and it being on the website. mikebee969 is probably thinking "why didn't I think of that"... but probably not... thinking not a strong point in society today.
D-star is much better then DMR,
OK, I heard him say that if you power the DC IN with an external battery it has to be at least 12 amp capable battery. Why would that be? This rig surely would never, ever draw even nearly that many amps, even on 5 watts transmit. Did he mean a 2 amp capable external battery? I have a small AGM battery that is rated for up to 9 amps and I'm planning the operate with it if possible. So I think he misspoke and didn't mean a 12 amp capable battery. I don't have the TH-D75 (on it's way) but I do have a copy of the User Guide. But I can't find anything about using external batteries or even anything about powering from a vehicle cigarette outlet.
The TH-D74 had a known issue with bricking the radio if you transmitted while plugged into the wall wart. The issue has (likely) been resolved on the D75, but (for obvious reasons) people don't really want to test that. So, it's safer to make sure you are driving the radio with enough current to overcome the charging circuit. Nobody wants to brick the $750 radio. :)
When he said 12amps it startled me.
Apple stinks, I use a Android Cat s61,
Can I just say, no, and keep using my iPhone. 😅
Don, thanks gor yhe info,
