This is a very fast guide to set up the IC-705 with UISS for sending AX.25 packets and APRS.
- Download and install UISS. During installation, install the Soundmodem software TNC.
- Download the file ptt-dll.zip from Soundmodem webpage. Unzip and copy the files to your UISS folder.
- Download the CAT dll file v 1.21 that includes IC-705 setting and replace CAT.DLL from the file above.
- Set the radio to FM-D (Data) and select the frq for APRS (in Sweden 144.800 MHz).
- Start UISS
- Setup UISS with your callsign and your location:
- In Soundmodem, set the Sound Card device to your IC-705 USB audio card.
- In Soundmodem, set the PTT Port to CAT and radio IC-705. The COM-port should be the one that IC-705 uses for CI-V.
- Now you should be able to see traffic
- Now send your first APRS Position. Use digipeater if you like.
The IC-705 now sends your APRS location. - If everything is OK you should be seen on aprs.fi
