It didn't hear you on the first 4 tries.
Possibly your TXD is too short, your signal too weak, or your TNC
tones might be off frequency, or you have deviation set too high or low.

Your TNC appeared to not ack this I frame.
SEABBS then polled you for the missing ack.

But it never heard your response, or ignored your response.

There may well be some problems using this node / BBS.
Try connecting to SEA, and to the node and BBS callsigns.
Do you have problems connecting to other nodes?
> Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
The SEA node on 145.01 is known for it's inability to hear as well
as it transmits, i.e. it is an alligator. It can even be heard in Salem,
Oregon,
about 200 miles away, on 19" whip, but cannot hear 200W into 10 el yagi
pointed it's way.

Subject: Question on Kenwood THD7A? Difference D7A and D7A(G)?
It is a great radio. You will not be sorry.
While you are waiting, you can "try" out the radio at
http://www.radiohound.com/radio.htm
The G model sounds like it will be worth the extra money.

Subject: WHICH GPS FOR APRS?
The Garmin III Plus is the one to get. It can be uploaded with local maps. I
am happy with the GPS III, but would be nice to load updated and more
detailed maps.
You do not really need a laptop. You could use a Palm device or a WinCe
device. Or, you could just use the GPS with your TNC and radio. The Garmins
will display heard stations as waypoints. (This is NMEA receive - GPS
receives NMEA heard from other stations, and displays it on the screen)
You can find links to GPS info (including the best on line dealers), Pocket
APRS (Palm), WinCE APRS, at http://www.radiohound.com .
