[Kenwood] TS-930S Question

[Rick WA6NHC]

It's likely a serial interface to SOME of the controls, very basic stuff 
(power, freq reading/setting, no audio).  I'm presuming it's the same as 
in my TS-940.  I haven't used it in years, (now using Elecraft) so I 
don't remember what all it allowed.  I do remember that the baud rate 
was pretty slow, like 9600 bps.
