Hi,
It's unclear to me why the CAT interface is not working. Checked the web and tried several option.
CP210x Macintosh OSX VCP Driver 5.3.5 installed, dmg file date is 17-12-2020 (relase note say's CP210x Macintosh OS VCP Driver 6.0 - December 18, 2020 ??
driver seems to work when USB is plugged in the port is visible in RUMLogNG
Kenwood menu setting 115200
although I think all settings are correct there is nog connection.Khz and mode are red.
RUMLog Version 5.3 (465)
MAC OS Catelina


Any ideas?

You have to show us the full settings window.
Red band/mode text labels mean, there is no connection possible to the port.

You haven't selected any port. Make sure the port is not busy by an other application. Are you sure about the flow control setting?

[pe2w]

oeps that was my mistake. Due the testing unplugged the cable more than once.
Although Khz and Band are green now, I don't see the actual frequency. Not when changing frequency on the radio nor when changing bands.

related to the flow setting, tried all combinations. saw older web posts people used its its both

Are you sure about the flow control setting?

One hour try and error saves you ten minutes reading the handbook.

Sorry, read several manuals. Don't know where you referring to. Kenwood manual does not refer to flow settings with USB. Regular are none. Checked the DLRUM manual yesterday too. I might overlook something.
