I had one of those that had problems with Kenwood radios. They tried
firmware upgrades and even sent me a chip, finally had to change or
remove a rresister, would have to find my notes on that. Had to do with
a wrong logic level. Once the resister was changed, worked fine. I
haven't been paying a lot of attention, wht problem is he having. I
still have mine but don't use it. Been kicking around selling it, but I
never seem to get rid of ham stuff, just accumulate...
