Using the Kenwood TH-D72 for APRS via ISS 🛰️ (how-to & walk-thru)

Here’s how you can use a Kenwood TH-D72 amateur radio transceiver to send and receive APRS packets using the International Space Station (ISS).
I recently acquired the discontinued Kenwood TH-D72, which is unique in the fact that it's a full duplex radio - meaning that one can transmit and receive at the same time. I recently did a RUclips short ( • Working the ISS Repeat... ) where I demonstrated working the FM repeater on the ISS using full duplex, but will create a more detailed video in the future. In this video, we're going to focus on APRS.
In addition to the FM repeater (callsign NA1SS) onboard the ISS, they also have a full-time digipeater powered by a Kenwood TM-D710 using the callsign RS0ISS. It operates on a frequency of 145.825 MHz simplex. Watch along as I demonstrate using APRS using both a terrestrial digipeater and the digipeater onboard the ISS. There's just a few important settings that need to be made in order for this to work: 1. The correct frequency of 145.825 and 2. The Packet Path needs to be ARISS. I'll cover those settings and some others that are optional.
Equipment used: Kenwood TH-D72 HT, Arrow 2m/70cm handheld yagi antenna, GoSatWatch for iOS.
Thanks for watching and 73,
