Hi Mike,
If you're talking about the UHF portable, you shouldn't
have to press anything to put it into programming mode
(My recalling from memory).
There are a small number of Kenwood Portable Radios that
do not easily program with after-market cables. I can think
of two or three off hand like the the tk-2170 & tk-3170 to
start off with a few examples. The tk-372 might also be one
of them.
So your cable might not be right... and the way to be sure
is to try an original Kenwood KPG-22 cable if you can. Kenwood
is proud (in price) of their programming cables but they do
work with all their radios (that I've tried so far).
Be sure to check your computers programming port (serial
and now USB available) per your running the DOS or Windows
Software.
If you can't find an El'Cheapo After Market Cable I can sell
you an original Kenwood or if you're near to Sacramento,
CA. I'll reprogram your radio for free.
Cheers,
