I finally solved the THF-6A programming problem. A Kenwood user recommended
the Keyspan USA-19HS cable. I wrote to Kenwood and here is what they wrote
back. I hope this information will help others of you.

The information below may help aid with USB pc programmable.
Presently Kenwood only supports com ports for any pc memory programming.
All of our current radios have memory control software. They are able to be
programmed via the COM port 1 or 2. Most of the newer computers have USB
ports. Information from end users inform us that COM to USB adapters are
available through computer stores, but they have also mentioned that you
need the proper driver, and adjustments to your pc to make this happen.
Kenwood is unable to assist with any computer program issues.
