Make sure the baud rate is correct. 9600 is plenty fast enough. Make sure you have it set to the same on the radio and the computer.
The +12 should only be turned on for TTL / RS232 converters. Turn it off.

Hello All,
I am having difficulty connecting SATPC32 to my Kenwood TS2000. Running Windows 8 and SatPC32 ver 12.9 NOT using a rotor. For what its worth, the cable that I'm using does work with my MCP. (USB to DB9 serial port) A friend of mine loaned me a separate cable which was confirmed working on his PC and his TS2000, no change in scenario.
When I launch the software the "PC" indicator on the upper right corner of the TS2000 is present briefly, then goes out in about 15 seconds. Same result when I attempt to switch satellites in the software.
I have tried running different baud rates but no change. Its currently set at 9600 in the software and the radio.
RTS + 12V box checked DTR + 12V box checked Satellite Mode box checked CAT Delay set at 70 TS2000 is in Sat mode during my tests.
Has anyone ever had similar problems connecting? Am I missing a setting in the radio and/or software?
Any input is greatly appreciated. 73
Kind regards, Mark N3NJ
