I saw modem-manager do a few open/close cycles on USB0.<br>Did seem to end up in the "closed"state. Also did not find anything<br>with Google telling me that it was causing serious problems trying<br>to use a USB device. I did try the "service stop" method of disabling<br>
while I had the laptop out in the truck. A bit of investigation when I<br>returned to the house indicated that modem-manager wasn't really a<br>typical service but somehow related to dbus which is why the "service stop"<br>
did not terminate it. I haven't had time to look into this further.<br><br>The cable I have is from Kenwood, "KPG-46U". This has a standard USB<br>connector on one end and an 8 pin modular connector on the other (RJ45<br>
is the designation I think). The box says "interface cable (USB)".<br><br>The radio has two potential places that would accept the RJ45. One is the<br>microphone connector the other is the connection for the front panel.<br>
The instruction sheet that came with the came is quite "unhelpful" by stating:<br> "Connect one of the KPG-22U/36U/43U/46U USB connectors to the USB port<br> of the computer, and the other connector to the transceiver." <br>
<br>They do not say *where* to connect it. I tried a bit of Google searching with no<br>luck and didn't want to see any smoke escape from this new radio so I gave<br>the Ham Radio Outlet store where I purchased all this a call. They said to<br>
connect the cable to the microphone port. So that is what I have been doing.<br><br>Is this cable actually what is used to program the radio?<br>If so, where does it connect?<br>If not, WTF is the cable for and why did HRO sell me the cable?<br>
<br>Thanks for your assistance. And thanks for the software - useful so far with<br>the Wouxun and I'm sure before long for the Kenwood as well. 73, Dale<br><br>
