FB on the USB ports. All of my computers have both USB and serial so I'm covered either way.

Worked fine for me under XP and Win2K. There are two caveats however, if you have a PC with only USB ports and you use a USB to serial adapter, the Kenwood software has a limited number of COM ports that can be mapped (if I recall only COM1-4). On some laptops, USB adapters for serial use enumerate as COM5 or higher. The other caveat is making sure you have the right version of software for the model of TH-D7 you have. If I remember, Kenwood has two versions of software posted. One that works with the TH-D7(G) only and one for the earlier version of hardware.

Hi all,
I noticed on the Kenwood site that they offer free programming software for all of their HT's. I was very surprised to read in fine print that the software may not work under the Windows NT 4.0 or XP platforms. Has anybody tried this software under XP. How did it function? Any problems?
