I think the answer is that you have no choice but to jumper pin 7 to
pin 8. I change to that and it seems to update when it must. It still
(SOMETIMES AT LEAST) does not update until you do something at the
keyboard but at least it ALWAYS updates then.
I would much prefer if it would update when you make changes at the
radio with NO other intervention. Sometimes it does and sometimes it
does not.

I am using the connections below now.
My config files are
In c:\log
BAND MAP ENABLE = TRUE
BEEP ENABLE = FALSE
CODE SPEED = 20
CW SPEED FROM DATABASE
DISPLAY MODE = COLOR
KENWOOD RESPONSE TIMEOUT = 35
KEYER OUTPUT PORT = SERIAL 1
MOUSE ENABLE = TRUE
MY STATE = MN
PRINTER ENABLE = FALSE
PTT ENABLE = FALSE
RADIO ONE BAUD RATE = 4800
RADIO ONE CONTROL PORT = SERIAL 1
RADIO ONE NAME = TS870-S
RADIO ONE TYPE = TS850
SCP MINIMUM LETTERS = 3
SIMULATOR ENABLE = FALSE
CW TONE = 0
FLOPPY FILE SAVE NAME = C:\log\flopysav.dat
FLOPPY FILE SAVE FREQUENCY = 1
In C;\log\sslogs
MY CALL = W0MN
CONTEST = SWEEPSTAKES
INPUT CONFIG FILE = C:\LOG\LOGCFG.DAT
CQ EXCHANGE = # A W0MN 53 MN
REPEAT S&P EXCHANGE = # A W0MN 53 MN
QSL MESSAGE = 73 \ SS
QSO BEFORE MESSAGE = SRI QSO B4 73 \ SS
CQ MEMORY F1 = CQ^SS \\ SS
CQ MEMORY F2 = CQ^ss CQ^SS CQ^SS \\
CQ MEMORY F4 = 73 \ SS
CQ MEMORY F7 = SRI QSO B4 73 \ SS
DVP ENABLE = FALSE
When I load the program it keeps the last radio information. For
instance if I have the radio on 20CW and I last worked 40 cw it still
says 40 cw. It does not update the band and frequency until I send a
cq or do some other action and not always then. I tried a dummy qso
and it actually logged the qso as 40 cw when it was made on 20cw.
In addition if I change the band after it is correct the indication
does not change until I do some transmitting.
Has anyone else seen this behavior and if so how did you correct it?
Obviously this is not acceptable and the log could get really messed
up.
I am using a Kenwood TS870S and all connections are wired through on
the cable including pin 7 except pion 4 which is the CW keying.
Obviously it seems to me that you can't wire that one through and
still use it for CW keying.

I also tried as above except

With the same result
