Hi Paul,
A second shot in the dark:
I recall that a few years ago new SW was released that had to overcome delays in serial communication due to Windows XP (and 2000?).
Basically you had to start the SW, do a 'write to radio', turn OFF radio, turn ON radio, and then the actual writing/reading starts.
But: that was to overcome an "communication error", not "radio invalid". Nevertheless I wanted to mention this.
Did you try with older SW versions or running on older PC's/OS's ? You could also try other SW, I used LINK7 in the past as well.

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?
