Hi Steve, I know you can't use Braillenote notetakers because you 
can't install any additional software on them.  You could be 
right about the Pacmate but I don't have one and don't intend to 
get one.  Thanks, Jim WA6EKS

Jim,

You probably could use a notetaker if you knew the exact file 
format of the
data file, and if you could generate the data.  I know, that's a 
lot of ifs,
but that's the only answer I have right now.  I suppose if you 
had a
Pacmate, you could try to run the Kenwood programming software, 
but I think
that would be a long shot.  I've thought about this a lot, but it 
just seems
like too much work to make it happen.  I just keep a laptop in 
the shack,
and use it to program all my radios.

Steve

 Hi Albert, let me know how it goes when you do get to 
programming
 your rig.  I have never tried it because first, the rig is so
 easy to program manually, and second, my rig is in another room
 from the computer.  Just a note, it would be great if we could
 use notetakers to program rigs, but I'm sure that's not in the
 cards.  Jim WA6EKS

 Subject: TM-V71A question

 Hi All,
 I am interested in programming my TM-V71A with the programming
 software with
 the rig connected to my Windows XP computer running Window-Eyes
 version
 7.5.4.The only problem I have is that I already am using my only
 serial port
 to program the Kenwood THF6A.  Can I use a serial-to-USB adapter
 for the
 TM-V71A or do I need to install another serial port?
