Interesting.

I'm also having trouble getting an 850 to talk to WL as well as
DXbase 4.6 - haven't tried TR yet.

I'm not using an IF-232C but a DX Solutions CT-232C interface that
works with a TS-940.  I'd think the same setup should work with 
an 850?  Maybe something wrong in the ACC 1 port.  Anyway to
check ACC 1 to determine that it's working OK??

Maybe someone on the Kenwood reflector can help?
