Kenwood Commands in the CAT File

Mark Griffin

Does anyone know how to enter the Kenwood commands into your CAT File. I looked out on the web, and saw plenty of commands, but no instructions on how to do this in the CAT File.

hi Mark

I hope you are doing well.

Kenwood is a protocol, similar to Yaesu or Icom’s Ci-V. So, what this means is if the logging program supports Kenwood then just create a CAT port which would be dedicated for the logging program. Make note of the Com port number created. When creating the port in CAT, enable auto reporting.

Do this in SmartSDR CAT before starting your logging program. Then start the logging program and go into the settings and under radio type, choose Kenwood and the com port number you created.
the logging program should start receiving frequency and mode info.
