TH F7 and DSD decoding

[Pippo1973]

HI there, I had the opportunity to test a Kenwood Th F7 using the packet output connected to the Soundcard and DSD to attempt a decoding experience. I selected the proper TNC out in the menu...but It seems that nothing happened. Did I miss something? Is that model suitable for decoding or not? I thought that the packet output is similar to discriminator output. Any suggestions to solve the issue?

Many thanks for your help

I would be led to believe that the radio would have to be in 9600 baud mode to act as a discriminator tap (Manual page 45)

n TNC
If you want to utilize the squelch status on your
TNC, access Menu No. 9 and select “TNC”. From
the TNC, make the interface cable that connects
to SP/PRD, MIC/PKD, PTT, REM/SQ, and GND
on the transceiver SP/MIC jack terminal. In
addition, if your TNC supports 9600 bps packet
(G3RUH/ GMSK 9600 bps modem), access Menu
No. 28 (PACKET) and select “9600” bps. This
option allows you to transmit/ receive packet
signals in a direct FM modulation/ quadrature
detector output. You must use the A-band to
transmit and receive 9600 bps packet signal.
The following diagram shows the available
terminals on the SP/MIC jack for the TNC.
