[TRLog] TS-850 Interface Problem

Just got TRLog and it is a great application I do however 
have one small problem with the interface to my TS-850S...

When the radio is selected to VFO A all is well - all 
functions work as expected. TR controls the radio and the 
radio controls TR for all frequency/band/mode changes. I 
can jump to a freq. displayed in the bandmap, enter a freq. 
from the keyboard, everything works fine.

VFO B however only partially works. It's really strange. 
With VFO B selected TR can read the frequency the radio is 
on (band map works as far as "capturing the freq.", the TR 
freq. display works I can see the TR freq. display follow 
the radio etc., but the radio will not respond to SOME 
commands from TR.

     * If I change bands from TR (Alt B/V) TR changes bands 
but the radio doesn't follow even though the radio emits 
the confirmation tone.

     * If I try to jump to a freq. captured in the bandmap 
the radio doesn't follow, it emits the confirmation tone 
but the freq. doesn't change.

     * I can however change modes (Alt+M) just fine.

     * If I change bands on the radio TR follows just fine.

     * If I use the Alt+N command I can change the Xmit 
freq. of the radio on VFO B just fine so there is some 
control of VFO B from TR.

I have tried increasing the Kenwood Response Timeout 
setting, I've tested my interface (IF232C) and cable using 
my old logging program and it works fine, just as it always 
has. I've done a CPU reset on the radio, I've scanned 
through the TRLog Reflector archives, and I've read the 
TRLog manual cover to cover several times now trying to see 
what I'm missing.

Anyone have a any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
