Hi Jennifer.
First of all, does your computer have serial ports or are you trying to use
a USB to serial adaptor?
If you have an actual serial port, you will need a cable that is a
"straight through" cable with a DB9 female connector on each end. Be
certain that the cable that you get isNOT a null modem cable!
If you have the above indicated cable and you are still not getting
results, and you are using the USB to serial adaptor, the adaptor could
well be the culprit. I have one of the Radio Shack USB to serial adaptors
that I run a DEC Express on, and the thing is a piece of junk. I'm told
that the Belcon ones are good.
Also, if you do have actual serial ports, you may wish to look in the
Device Manager and see which COM ports they are assigned to. The Kenwood
software isn't very forgiving--if you don't have a serial port on COM1,
COM2, COM3, or COM4, you aren't going to get a connection.
Good luck, and 73, de Lou K2LKK
P.S. It is a mystery to me why the amateur radio manufacturers have stayed
with serial technology for so long when building a radio with USB
connectivity would make things so much easier (and more reliable).
