I have seen a couple of posts regarding problems with 6.02 controlling Kenwood radios.
I had a problem with my 570S/G, and re-wrote a control file for the radio. I have attached the file to this note. If you wish to use it, you should copy it to the Radios file in your DX4WIN sub-directory, and then select it in preferences. I noticed that the sequence of commands sent to my 570 was changed since version 5.03, which has caused the problems that many of you may be seeing with controlling your Kenwood radios. The file I attached works with 570's, 870's and I believe that it should work with 2000 and 950 as well. I'm sure that Paul is aware of the change in the sequence of commands that has occurred, and if it gets changed back in 6.03 to the sequence that was written into 5.03, than the file that I have attached will most likely cause you problems! At that time, if problems occur, you should switch to a "stock" radio file in preferences. Hope this helps. 73 de Don W0DJC [GENERAL] MODEL=Kenwood 570 NOTES=Kenwood without S meter DATE=37606 FLOW= 5.00000000000000E+0001 FHIGH= 6.00000000000000E+0004 ADDR=0 BAUD=9600 DATAB=1 STOPB=0 CFMT=1 CORDER=0 REV=0 OFSET=1 PABLE= CNFL=0 RMUL= 1.00000000000000E+0000 WMUL= 1.00000000000000E+0000 RITSCL= 1.00000000000000E+0000 SMSCL= 4.00000000000000E-0001 FILEINTERFACE= [MODES] AM=5;5;N CW=3,7;3,7;N FM=4;4;N RTTY=6,9;6,9;N SSB=1,2;1,2;N [RC-Clear Clarifier] CSTR=RC; LEN=0 LOC=Other [RC-Init] CSTR=AI0; LEN=0 LOC=Other [RC-Read ID] CSTR=ID; LEN=6 LOC=Other [RC-Read VFO A] CSTR=FA; LEN=14 LOC=VFO B [RC-Read VFO A Xtra] CSTR=IF; LEN=38 LOC=VFO A&B [RC-Read VFO B] CSTR=FB; LEN=14 LOC=VFO B [RC-Select VFO A] CSTR=fr0;ft1; LEN=0 LOC=Other [RC-Select VFO B] CSTR=FR1; LEN=0 LOC=Other [RC-Set Mode] CSTR=MD0; LEN=0 LOC=Other [RC-Set Split off] CSTR=FR0; LEN=0 LOC=Other [RC-Set VFO A] CSTR=FA00000000000; LEN=0 LOC=Other [RC-Set VFO B] CSTR=FB00000000000; LEN=0 LOC=Other [RF-Clarifier] CMD=Read VFO A Xtra FMT=String POS=19 LM=5 [RF-Current VFO] CMD=Read VFO A Xtra FMT=String POS=3 LM=11 [RF-Current VFO is A] CMD=No Command FMT=BCD POS=0 LM=0 [RF-Current VFO is B] CMD=Read VFO A Xtra FMT=Flag POS=31 LM=1 [RF-ID] CMD=Read ID FMT=String POS=3 LM=3 [RF-Mode] CMD=Read VFO A Xtra FMT=String POS=30 LM=1 [RF-RIT] CMD=Read VFO A Xtra FMT=Flag POS=24 LM=1 [RF-S meter] CMD=No Command FMT=String POS=0 LM=0 [RF-Sign Clarifier] CMD=No Command FMT=Flag POS=0 LM=0 [RF-Split mode] CMD=Read VFO A Xtra FMT=Flag POS=33 LM=1 [RF-VFO A] CMD=Read VFO A FMT=String POS=3 LM=11 [RF-VFO B] CMD=Read VFO B FMT=String POS=3 LM=11 [RF-Write ID] CMD=No Command FMT=Byte-M POS=0 LM=0 [RF-Write Mode] CMD=Set Mode FMT=String POS=3 LM=1 [RF-Write VFO A] CMD=Set VFO A FMT=String POS=3 LM=11 [RF-Write VFO B] CMD=Set VFO B FMT=String POS=3 LM=11 [RF-XIT] CMD=Read VFO A Xtra FMT=Flag POS=25 LM=1 --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/mixed text/plain (text body -- kept) text/plain (text body -- kept) The reason this message is shown is because the post was in HTML or had an attachment.
