Art,
I am no computer geek so not sure what you mean by virtual ports.
Cable is USB to USB. Downloaded the driver from the Kenwood website
and installed.
Under Device Manager/Ports;
Silicon Labs cp210x USB to UART Bridge (com3)
That's all I can tell you Art.

Are your ports virtual ports? USB to Serial conversion?
When I had those, every time my cpu rebooted, my virtual serial ports
would change...

Hello Jim,
as per your instruction leaving it on COM 7,,,
I do leave it on COM 7 but upon wakening
in the morning it's on COM 3 in Ports of the Device
Manager! So in dx4win I set File/Preferences/Radio/COM Port
to COM 3 and four hours later in Device Manager it's back
on COM 7!!
Running Windows 7 Enterprise.
Thanks for the other advice.
Merry Christmas
john
