First of all, Mike has abandoned PocketAPRS. There will be no more
versions, he cannot release the sources due to some of the software in
there requiring licensing, he won't register any copies anymore, etc.
Basically he wishes to be left alone w.r.t. that application these days.
The good news: You _can_ still find copies of it out there and use it in
unregistered mode, which means you cannot save your settings and have to
enter them each time.
More good news (maybe): There's yet another PalmOS APRS application out
there that is open-source, free for the download. It's called SmartPalm.
It does _not_ do mapping. It's a text-based application that attempts to
basically do a HamHUD, but on a Palm.
The general way you'd use either application with a TH-D7 would be to
connect the GPS to the Kenwood, then the Kenwood to the Palm. Set up the
software to do the "Picopacket" method of requesting the GPS data from the
Kenwood. That ends up sending a Control-E character across the line, to
which the Kenwood responds by sending back the NMEA string(s).

I have done this using a relay with a time delay and also had the problem
of the D700 not coming on consistently when power is applied to it.
Eventually it became consistent like yours, never coming on. It was fixed
by doing a full reset. Thankfully all of the memories and menu settings
were easily restored thanks to MCP-D700.
What is the magic string? That might be useful information to have in the
future if it acts up again.

I agree. Don't overlook this one:

I bought a cable from them that has a locking tab on the eTrex end. The
ones from Garmin will slip out of the unit very easily.

the magic string is
PS 1 for on
and
PS 0 for off.
