I made a new Installation of RadioMail on my iPad. Bluetooth link is established between the radio and the BBlink adapter. KIS 12 ist set to Bluetooth (983) But every time when I want to do a connection the frequency is set but it delete the KISS12 status on my TH-D75 and therefore no connection is possible.
There radio is set Do anybody have an idea what‘s going wrong?

Edit: When the Raidomail switch off the KISS12 in the TH-D75, the Radio goes from FM in AM mode - very strange
I think the KISS12 disappearing is a side effect of the radio being in AM mode on that VFO. You can experiment manually, set the radio in ARPS or KISS and switch the mode from FM to AM and that indicator disappear.
I think the issue is why does the radio switch to AM and the code is not able to switch it for FM? I'm not sure. What I've observed is that for each VFO the radio "remembers" the mode for certain frequencies.
What I'd recommend to do is: 1) verify which VFO is selected for TNC use (APRS > Basic Settings > Data Band) and make sure that VFO is selected or that radio is in dual VFO A/B. 2) On that VFO, select a frequency in the band you're planning to use and set mode to FM. 3) Try again to connect with RadioMail and B.B. Link and see if that mode stays in FM.
Another diagnostic you can do is that if you plug the B.B. Link in a computer and open a serial terminal, you should see debug info and perhaps see why the adapter can't switch to FM.
Thanks for your detailed answer. One fault was from my side - not switching to VFO mode, instead using the programmed stations I do with WINLINK. Another behavior ist, that on starting I have to be in a valid band VHF or UHF on the radio cause if on another band outside it swithces short to KISS 12 chenges the frequency and then to AM.
Sometimes - I can‘t Figuren it out - when I‘m on a correct VHF band on the radio and choose a UHF Station on RadioMail it switches to AM. My solution aktualisiert is to switch to a UHF band on the radio and then choose the UHF packet station on RadioMail again - the it runs flawless again, although switching to a VHF afterwards.
I will do some test in the next days again on this - only want to write about the results of my tests.
