If neither the red or green LED blink, is the Power LED 
on?  The "radio side" of the interface requires power ... 
with most radios it is via an aux 13.5 V output from the 
radio.  With Kenwood, there are two leads on the cable 
that should be connected to the station power supply or 
another source of DC (anything from 9 to 16 volts works 
just fine with the USB II).

If you are seeing the green arrow but the green (right control) 
LED is not flashing at the same time, it is entirely possible 
that the USB port on your computer is not supplying USB power. 
A healthy USB II which receives power from the USB port will 
flash the green LED in time with the green arrow.  The red LED 
(left control) will flash with the red arrow (when data is 
received from the radio).
