Hey Tom,
This is another one of the multiple Steve's on the list, and you and I
discussed this in some depth some months ago.
Just a simple serial connection from rig to pc and the free radio control
software for the 480 from:
http://www.kenwood.com/i/products/info/amateur/software_download.html
Or some third party software like Ham Radio Deluxe.
This will also let you drag your QSO logging kicking and screaming into the
21st century, since this same serial connection will let the logger grab
freq and mode from the radio automatically.
This will all be well worth the few bucks for a serial cable and the 2
minutes it will take to hook it up.
73, Steve KW3A
