[amsat-bb] Kenwood TS2000 control versus Icom IC9100

[James McIrvin]

The only thing that I can do is try a different computer to see if that
might work, however, I don't think it is that.  There is something to do
with the linking between the 2 units.
The only other thing is maybe the computer is much to fast for the
software.  It is also a 64 bit machine running at 4 gig.  Ram is not an
issue either, that is at 16.
It is a I7 running at 4.0 gig no over clock or anything like that either.
Maybe I will get into the bios to see if there is something there that
might help.
