Subject: Problem with D700A - am I missing something?
I'm new to amateur radio. In fact, I haven't received my call sign yet.
I'm hoping by the end of this week. I recently bought a Kenwood TM-D700A as
my first radio. I bought it so I could experience packet radio. I liked
the built-in TNC feature. Hopefully, I am missing something simple, or
someone else with this rather new radio can elighten me.
I'm using a DB9 female-female laplink (null-modem) cable.
The instruction say I need
9600 bps
8bit
1 stop bit
no parity
hardware flow control
And then starting TNC PKT mode.
I've done this on 2 com ports which I know work. I've also tried 2 com
ports on a separate computer. I can't get my computer to talk to the radio.
I've verified that the ports are set (through device manager in Win 98) at
the above settings. I am trying to communicate through Hyperterminal to no
avail. I've double checked the radio setting that it is receiving data from
the computer at 9600 bps (which is also the default).
For fun, I've tried
9600
7
1
even
hardware
9600
7
1
no
hardware
and those settings with xon/xoff flow controll.
I have also tried to use the beta software from kenwood to program the
radio. I can't get this software to speak either. Any ideas? Could it be
a bad port on the radio?
Thanks.

The pin-outs on the cable are (it's actually printed on the cable)
5 4 3 2 1
* * * * *
9 8 7 6
* * * *
Both ends are the same. This verifies that it's a straight through cable.

The guys at Kenwood have no idea about standards. But we already knew
that... when the pins are not wired in totally nonstandard ways (when it
is a male plug it should be wired like a DTE guys! That would mean a
female-female cable would be wired as a null-modem to connect the device to
another DTE,like a PC!), they are named in nonstandard ways.
(like calling the PTT line "standby for data" or naming the line on which
it receives data "transmit data")
