Of course Jim can address this, but if I remember you are using a 590. 
  In order to use the USB port on the 590 you need to install the 
virtual comm driver from Kenwood (free).   So you would use a USB from 
pc to radio, but the  virtual comm driver installs as a comm port, so 
that is what Jim's  software (or other logging/control programs) see.

One nice thing about the 590 is that you can run 2 software packages at 
the same time: one on the rs-232 port and the other on the  USB port 
using the virtual driver.   So if desired, you could run a logger on one 
port and  control software on the other and they won't conflict.
