[Kenwood] Programming TH-D7A(G)

[John Luthy]

Kenwood offers TWO versions of the RCP for your radio, make sure you
have the version for the G model. The other version will not work with
the G version radio.  On my computer I have ver 1.2 for the D7A  and
ver 1.1 for the D7A(G)

The computer uses Windows XP Home edition.  Like most newer laptops it
has only USB.  The serial to USB adapter works for the GPS, the
TMD-700A, and various other devices.  It is identified as COM 2.  When
I try to program the D7, it gives me a communication time out error.
I have tried hitting the selection and then turning the radio on, but
to no avail.
