[Kenwood] MCP-D7G Program Problem.

[Gary V. Smith]

I haven't tried to Read yet, but I will before I write again.  The 
interface cable plugs into a connection labeled PC on the side of the 
radio.  The D7G has four jacks on the side for speaker, microphone, 
PC and GPS.  I will clean the interface cable contact surfaces.

Thanks,
Gary - W6GVS
