Dear Kenwood Customer: Thank you for your e-mail. You may download the TM-G707A programmimg software from our web page. www.kenwood.net Click on Amateur Radio Click on Downloads Click on MCP-RCP Software Click on TM-G707A Information on how to program your TM-G707A from your PC. The optional programming cable is a PG-4S, you will probably need an adapter to go from a DB25 to a DB9. Try the Radio Shack # 26-269. If you get a request for a username, and password use a different browse other than Netscape Communicator, or Navigator try Internet Explorer. There is NO requirement for a password or user name to access the software on our web site. You will need to use Com 1 or 2 on the PC, and NOTHING CAN SHARE THAT PORT (example mouse) Again nothing can share those ports need for programming. If you have any errors, or time out messages, these are normally due to your PC settings, and not the TM-G707A. PC Settings: 1. Click on Start 2. Click on Settings 3. Click on Control Panel 4. Click on Systems 5. Click on Hardware 6. Click on Device Manager 7. Click on Ports (Com & LPT) 8. Click on Communications Port (Com 1) 9.
