Chris, Mick:
There are 2 things that I know of that do not work as advertised. You found one of them. I’m using the wonderful reverse engineering work done by LA3QMA and documented at
https://github.com/LA3QMA/TM-V71_TM-D710-Kenwood as the source for the CAT commands for the 710.py. Kenwood’s CAT documentation is practically non-existent.
On my 710, when I activate REV from 710.py I see an odd R icon appear in my display, but it’s not the same R icon that appears when I activate REV on the radio itself. It also doesn’t actually reverse TX/RX. Activating REV from the radio itself works as expected. I also cannot conjure that same odd R icon by adjusting settings on the radio itself. Kenwood’s documentation doesn’t say what it is and I don't have a 71A so I don’t know if that same odd icon appears on that rig when REV is activated from 710.py (does it? would you test it for me?).
The other thing that does not work as advertised is changing the side of the radio designated for DIGITAL. On my 710, the radio returns the code that acknowledges the change, but the D does not move from B to A (for example) and in fact the digital side is unchanged.
I’ve been meaning to get with LA3QMA on both of these items. It’s on my list. I’ve updated the README with info on these items.
Also, if you want to add a Hamradio menu item to launch 710.py, see instructions at
https://github.com/AG7GN/kenwood. The reason I don’t add a menu item by default is that the serial port designation for the USB/serial connection to the rig is going to be different in each case.
