Dave,
Actually, I was expecting to see an option for the TS-940 in NA-CONFIG,
but I don't see it. I mistook the Ant Port selection to mean the
interface port, so that is the source of confusion over LPT ports. I
returned to config and set COM2 to xcvr1, so the port issue is OK once I
get the modem off that port and attach a cable to the motherboard
header. Running config.exe and selecting F5, in the top section for radios:
menu choices
Radio A/B none
XCVR#1 lots of FT's and IC's, Kenwood1, Kenwood2, and PIEXX930
Ant Port #1 none
XCVR#2 none
Ant Port #2 none
CW port COM1
Keyer port COM1
all else none
Should I select Kenwood 1 or 2? What baud rate should I use for the
serial port (COM2)?
Thanks,
Rob
