Hi Butch!

Great!  I am going to try RT Systems with NVDA.  That said, I am really
curious about how their cable might work with Kenwood's MCP (i.e., b via a
COM port).  So, if you find anything out please let me know.  

In that regard, I did notice that under the Windows Device Manager driver
settings for the cable there is an option (checkbox) to turn off "VSP"; and
if that is done profiles ~1 - ~26 are then available.  I have no idea what
all that means.  However, seemingly it might mean that the cable should act
like a COM port - perhaps.

73,
Richard

The rt systems will work with nvda well sort of, I forget what keys you push
to open up the edit boxes.  I'm fairly certain I've used their cable with
Kenwoods program, I will try it for sure, you have to find what comport is
assigned to that cable.  I'll do some playing and let you know for sure.
