Rich,
This might be a clue to a possible diagnostic test. Is it possible to configure your USB cable to use a lower serial port number, say something less than 4? And then give it a try? Good luck. I am no expert; just repeating superstitious chants and rituals. 73.

I use com port 1...My computer doesn't have serial port on the motherboard so I added an inexpencive serial port card.....

What com port did you use? I keep hearing a rumor that Kenwood doesn’t like com port numbers above 4.

Rich...I just downloaded to CHIRP from my D700A. I connect my radio directly to a serial port at the back of my computer and when I start the download I set the model number to detect rather than D700.

What does it take to get the D-700 to cooperate? I have a new USB-63 cable from RT Systems, downloaded the driver first (and successfully), but I cannot download any data from the DM-700. Com port is 8. When downloading from radio, when I click 'OK', nothing happens at all.
I don't know if this is a clue, but the second time I try to download, I get an error message "could not open port COM8: [Error 5] Access is denied."
It's not like I am inexperienced, I have programmed 2 HT's my Kenwood TM V71-A dual band mobile successfully in the past on this computer. Hoping to transfer those channels over through Chirp.
Any ideas of things to try?
Thanks again,

You might need a gender changer if using a straight serial cable. If dealing with USB get a Kenwood specific cable with a FTDI chipset. The cable that RT Systems sells with there software works perfect all the time.

2) What cable did you use?
3) Does that cable connect to the 9-pin RS-232 on the radio, or the 6-pin mini DIN connector?
Thank you,
