[Dx4win] Kenwood Radio control

[Don Currier]

I have seen a couple of posts regarding problems with 6.02 controlling 
Kenwood radios.

I had a problem with my 570S/G, and re-wrote a control file for the radio. 
I have attached
the file to this note. If you wish to use it, you should copy it to the 
Radios file in your
DX4WIN sub-directory, and then select it in preferences.

I noticed that the sequence of commands sent to my 570 was changed since 
version
5.03, which has caused the problems that many of you may be seeing with 
controlling
your Kenwood radios.

The file I attached works with 570's, 870's and I believe that it should 
work with 2000 and 950
as well.

I'm sure that Paul is aware of the change in the sequence of commands that 
has occurred,
and if it gets changed back in 6.03 to the sequence that was written into 
5.03, than the file that I
have attached will most likely cause you problems! At that time, if 
problems occur, you
should switch to a "stock" radio file in preferences.

Hope this helps.
