[chirp_users] Anyone program a Kenwood TK-862? Non G

[Ronny Julian]

Interesting side note.  The cable I bought is supposed to be a USB version
of a KPG-4 cable.  I tested it on my VV-898 10 watt mobile and the cable
works great read and write.  I have a true serial KPG-4 coming and I'll try
that as my machine has a serial port on COM 1.  Strange how it seems to
communicate with the radio and changes the front panel then throws a com
error.
