[amsat-bb] Kenwood TS2000 control versus Icom IC9100

[James McIrvin]

Well, I have found a couple of things that I didn't know were there for
setting.  Still learning how to set things up in satpc32 at this point.
Had to do with the comm port setting.
Took a while to figure it out, however lets see what happens now.

This has been a new thing for me to work with and just the way that some
was done I have had to figure it with some guidance.  Erich gave me enough
to dig deeper to find out what was going on, so know lets see how it works
after a couple of hours and then days.
So far it seems to be working to some extent.
