Dooh! I need to read the instructions carefully, the Kenwood software comes in two flavours for the THD7 and I used the wrong version twice! It looked the same in the folder I downloaded to, everything now working as normal. If anybody else downloads the Kenwood THD7 software please be aware of the different versions! 73

Hi Kenneth, I tried all ways, TNC on and off etc etc, the comms starts ok but reports "The radio is invalid" every time? I hate programing up the radio via the front controls!

Just taking a shot in the dark, have you tried turning the TNC off and then attempt to program the radio?

I thought I would fire up my THD7E and the arrow to work some sats mobile and tried to program the required frequencys in with the PC lead and software. PC and lead are ok as I can talk to the internal modem no problem. However when trying to use the Kenwood THD7(G) software version 1.10 it returns the fault of "The Radio Is Invalid" I tried the newer version of software with the same result "The Radio Is Invalid" I'm sure my radio is the older THD7 and has worked to upload/download without problem before.
TASCO Radio Modem AX.25 Level 2 Version 2.0 Release 08/18/98 2Chip ver 1.00
This is the info the modem outputs in TNC mode.
Can anybody give me any pointers to what's causing this or do I need to talk to Kenwood?
