Brand new radio selling like hotcakes. Will buy and offer for loan to get supported. Meant to be a replacement for the D72 but this radio appears to be quite different all the way around, lacking full duplex but adding D-STAR, CW/SSB/USB reception, and (on the American version) 222 MHz (thus the A/E variants are different internally in this radio).

It means that the Dead Reckoning function is active. This function enables the unit to calculate your position even if the GPS signal is not received (i.e. under tunnels).

Probably the Bluetooth on your phone is not active. Turn it on and try again.

1. Download Geosat Suite and upgrade the software and the operating system of your Geosat.
2. Do not disconnect the Geosat from the USB, please enter in My Computer and locate the removable disk of the SD memory card of Geosat (it is easily recognizable because it contains the folder Geosat6.)
3. Open the folder and locate Geosat6 file 'Userdata1.xml'
4. Copy this file and paste it on your PC to have a backup, and than delete it from the folder Geosat6.
5. Close the window, Safely Remove the Hardware and unplug the navigator.
The Geosat should now again be able to connect via Bluetooth to your phone.

1. First of all, check whether The Geosat has the 8 pins on the back , only this model is able to power and to communicate with the stereo system through the magnetic holder.

2. Check whether the speakers are set as external:
1. Open the Menu
2. Press Settings
3. Press Preferences
4. Press Voice Options, press the green indicator on the bottom right of the page in order to pass to the next page
5. Choose External Stereo
If the problem is not solved, please follow the instructions below to update the software and recover the Sound System Recovery.
1.Update to the latest software version available
Read: How to Update the Software
2 . Restart the operating system
Once you have updated the device, disconnect the USB and wait the main screen with the 2 main icons: use 2 pencils or pens and follow the instructions:
keep hold the button inside the hole next to the SD card (the hole without label) and then with another pencil press the reset button once.
When you will see on the display a blue window with the restart of the OS you can leave the first button also.
3. Connect the Geosat Car bracket
1. Check whether the navigator is ON and the Car bracket is powered
2.Check whether the navigator is receiving power from the bracket: on the map, in the lower right corner, you should see the power icon ( a flash).
3. Enter Menu -System Info - Components
After a few seconds the “Sound System Recovery” button will appear in the right column.
Click the button and please wait the message “Updated Successfully”.
4. Select then OK and exit the main screen.
If after these procedures your problem has not been solved, then the cause may be the erroneous installation of the car holder in the DIN. In this case please address yourself to the Peugeot dealer.

Probably the calibration has not been performed correctly. For a correct calibration you need to choose a time when you are sure you have not ingested alcohol and it should not be repeated before the test.

The calibration is personal, so it may be less accurate if the person who performs the test is not the same person who calibrated the device.

The iPod icon will reappear automatically after connecting the navigator to the car bracket. When the Car is powered and the bracket is powered.

The iPod icon, unlikely the Bluetooth one, stays inactive untill an iPod has been connected nect to the navigator holder through the Y cable provided.

Kenwood TH-D72A/ESetUp
• Turn the TH-D72A/E ON.
• Press the F button.
• Use the up/down/OK/Esc control to select and set the following functions:
- F-1 – Int. GPS – Off
- F-7 – Voice Alert – Off
• Press Esc to exit the function menu.
• Use the A/B button to select the desired radio side for APRS.
• Press the VFO button and adjust the frequency to your standard APRS frequency (144.39MHz in the US).
• If necessary, press F-Shift to remove + and – from the display.
• If necessary, press Tone to remove the T, CT, DCS, and D/O icons from the display. The icon position should be blank.
• Press Menu button and set or verify the menu settings below. Leave all other settings at default, for now. Note: only important default settings are included
here.
• Press the Menu button again to close the Menu.

The Kenwood TH-D72A/E is now ready to interface with the Geosat 6 APRS. Now that the configuration is complete, it’s time to see if it will work.
1. Turn off the Geosat 6 APRS and the TH-D72A/E.

2. Connect the two units using the data cable provided with your AvMap Geosat 6 APRS. Plug the fourconductor plug, with three black insulating rings into the I/O port on the Geosat 6 APRS. This is the top jack on the right side of the Geosat 6 APRS. Make sure the plug is firmly seated in the jack. Open the
COM cover on the TH-D72A/E and plug the three-conductor plug (two black insulating rings) into the COM port. Again, make sure it is firmly seated. A common problem with operation failure is not having the plugs firmly inserted in the units, or having the connections reversed. Double check your connections.

3. Turn on the Geosat G6 APRS and the TH-D72A/E. Wait until the Geosat 6 APRS has acquired sufficient satellites to establish a 3D position. A blinking GPS icon (not iGPS) should then appear in the upper right corner of TH-D72A/E display.

4. Set the volume at about 1/3 volume. If there is APRS activity in your area, you should here the brief “growl” of packet transmissions. You will hear a short
beep when you receive an APRS signal, a longer beep when you transmit your position, and a double (highlow) beep when you receive your position back from a digipeater. Now that you have a working system, you will want to decrease your beacon rate, and change other settings according to your desired operating method.
Read the APRS section of the Kenwood TH-D72A/E CD manual. This manual provides additional information on the functions of the various APRS controls, and

Troubleshooting
If you do not see a flashing “GPS” signal on the upper right hand corner of the TH-D72A/E, or APRS stations are not appearing in the APRS Contacts list on the Geosat 6 APRS, then the data cable may not be fully or correctly seated.

1. Remove one plug and assure that it is the correct plug for that unit and is plugged into the correct port, according to the description in the previous section
of these instructions. Return the plug to the proper port and firmly push it in.
2. Check that the cord at the other end is in the correct port and firmly press on the plug to assure it is properly seated.
3.Check the cord for continuity and no shorts, using an ohmmeter, especially if it is a home brewed data cable.
4. Verify that the Geosat 6 APRS is computing a position fix.
5. Listen to your APRS frequency on the TH-D72A/E or on a different radio to verify there is APRS activity in your area.
6. Reread and verify the setup sections of these instructions.
7. Perform a Partial Reset of your TH-D72A/E per the instructions on page RESET-1 of the CD manual, then, repeat the setup instructions. A partial reset will not erase your memory channels, but will set all other settings to their default values.

Geosat 6 APRS comes with bi-directional RS-232 APRS compatible with all models of transceivers Kenwood APRS amateurs and with the TNC (Terminal Node Controllers) that supports NMEA format.
Currently Kenwood APRS radios include:
• TH-D7A / E
• TM-D700A / E
• TM-D710A / E
• TH-D72A / E
The potential of Geosat 6 APRS are fully exploited if the TNC supports the same format string Kenwood: for example reading this string, you can view the standard icons APRS, and in tactical mode the contact information APRS while moving such as direction, speed, Lat-Lon, altitude, and time stamp necessary to filter contacts.
IF the radio TNC does not support the Kenwood string, you can still distinguish between fixed contacts (blue circle icon) and in motion (red triangle icon)

1. Set up the Transceiver
• Enter your call sign
• BAUD Rate=9600
• Waypoint=ALL
• Waypoint size=9 character (this as also called waypoint length)
• Beacon method = Smartbeaconing (if your device supports this)
• Waypoint output=ALL
• If you are using a Kenwood D72 turn off F-1 Internal GPS
2. Set up your Geosat 6 APRS
The Geosat 6 APRS is defaulted to 9600 BAUD rate. If your radio device supports 4800 BAUD rate you can change this setting also on your Geosat 6 APRS in the APRS options page. Touch the Options button in the APSR menu, touch Serial Port and then choose your option.
