Hi Tim, (I was off the grid by family vacations)
If the lights are off you have 90% chance of not having power to the interface, but, if you use a USB interface it may work... I have to check in the schematics but I'm pretty sure it will work with a USB programmer.

I will check that as time allows and I bet you are correct asI do not believe any of these old men light up any longer. I will advise as time allows.

Hi Tim, sorry to hear about your heard issues. Can you please confirms that the cable interface is working? (it looks to me as a interface problem) Also, your radios has the LCD backlight on? There is a know issue with this radios about this: usually the kenwood interface for this radios take power from the radio not from the PC, and the power is taken from the same rail the LCD leds are powered. For some reason with time (or a mic cable short) a medium power resistor burn out in the main board and get the front panel without +12V, that not a problem to the normal operation as it works on +5v, but the backlight gone off and the programmer has no power to feed from and always fails to operate. Can you check that please? 73. El 22/07/16 a las 09:32, Tim Billingsley escribió:I apologize for the long delay.
