Alinco Dr 135

Warning: This documentapplies to the original Alinco DR-135TP...a newer version has been recentlyintroduced-- the 'MK II'. I don't know what, if any, changes have beenmade to the TNC.

This document captures some of the things that I learned whilegetting my Alinco DR-135TP (with optional internal EJ-41U TNC) to function onAPRS® and packet radio. The documentation that comes with the radio is a bitthin, so perhaps this will help someone else getting started. The DR-135instruction manual can be found on the Alinco web site.

My main use of this radio and the focus for this article isAPRS. You may learn something about APRS in this article but it is not intendedto be an APRS tutorial. See the introductoryarticle at aprsworld.net for more information on APRS.Also, this article is mainly concerned with how to configure the radio and TNCfor basic operation using terminal emulator commands. If you are using softwaresuch as UI-View, WinAPRS, etc. then the radio configuration is handled for youby the software (maybe :-).

Basic Configuration

First, you need to get the TNC inside the DR-135TP talking toyour computer. A serial cable with 9-pin connectors on both ends and a terminalemulation program are normally required. I am not going into a lot of detailhere as serial connections are notoriously messy but relatively well-understood.In other words, go elsewhere to find out how to troubleshoot a serialconnection. I used the standard MS Windows terminal emulation program'HyperTerminal' (under Programs, Accessories, Communications).

To verify that your TNC/radio is talking to the computer,cycle power on the radio and you should see a power-up reset message that lookslike this:
