<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi Folks,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I finally got an antenna outside for my Kenwood
that I have in the shack.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>There are so many buttons on this radio, and I am a
Blind Ham, but even with the speech chip on the Kenwood, it is daunting to learn
all of its functions.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I've have already messed it up so bad that I had to
do a full reset.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>So I thought I'd set it up with Chirp, so I can
recover if I mess it up again.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I've used Chirp for my HT radios, so I'm a bit
familiar with using Chirp.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I'm working on trying to get an old computer with
serial ports working for the shack, but until then I will need to connect to the
Kenwood with a laptop that has no serial ports.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I have a USB to serial cable somewhere, but I
cannot find it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I did find a serial to Ethernet cable, and I am
wondering if the Chirp software will be able to connect to the Kenwood via the
laptop's Ethernet port with this cable.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Seems like all of the Chirp connection options are
all serial and one USB.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Thanks for any knowledge.</FONT></DIV>
