Hi!

 

After exhaustively failing with the Kenwood PG-4YU programming cable, I
purchased the RT Systems KRS-F6 Programming Kit for the Kenwood TH-F6 (MCP
software and cable).  Regrettably, this software is inaccessible.  This
cable has some sort of built-in functionality where it does not use a COM
port; meaning that it seemingly only works with the RT Systems software.
Put another way, it will not work with the Kenwood MCP software; which is
totally accessible, but which requires use of a COM port.

 

Now I am in the worst of both worlds.  While the RT Systems cable may work,
its related software is inaccessible.  On the other hand, While Kenwood's
MCP software is totally accessible, the Kenwood programming cable does not
work.

 

Therefore, has anyone found a way to make the RT Systems software accessible
(with JAWS)?  Or, has anyone found a way to make the RT Systems cable work
with Kenwood's MCP (i.e., use a COM port)?

 

73,
