There's something probably real simple but critical that I am missing.
I'm using Win10, with a Secuda USB-to-radio cable, which I know has worked with CHIRP as well as other old Kenwood software.
The computer installs it as COM9, but the KPG-56D v.4.22 software seems happy with that, it allows me to select that port.
Except, it doesn't see the radio on it.
I should only have to plug the radio into the programming cable, turn on the radio, no secret keypresses needed? In order to use the programming software on the computer, right? (NOT field programming, not yet, just programming via the computer software.)
Anything I'm missing, like a need to set up flow control on the port? Something else that's just not obvious?
And of course since Win10 no longer reads .hlp files, I can't even try to use the one that's in the software.
