AN AMATEUR RADIO CONTROL PACKAGE
                          FOR THE TS-940S TRANSCEIVER
                             AND MS-DOS COMPUTERS

     The files on this disk or in this archive (ZIP) file make up a package for
remotely  controling  the  Kenwood  TS-940S  amateur-radio  transceiver.    All
frequency, mode,  memory, and  selectivity,  and  transmit/receive  control  is
provided by  the package.   Computer-controlled  scanning  (both  "memory"  and
"programmed") are  supported.   Digital  communications  provided  for  by  the
package are "duplex": changes made at the transmitter (site) are updated at the
computer (site),  and changes  made by  keyboard do,  of  course,  control  the
transceiver, as completely as Kenwood has provided for.

PROGRAM FILES:

     Apart from  this introductory  file (README.TXT), the package contains the
following executable and readable files.

              Spoiler program file.

94INS200.EXE  The 940  Spoiler installation  file, which  will be  involked  by
              94SPL200.EXE when  the  system  is  run  before  installation  is
              completed or  which may  be used independently of 94SPL200.EXE to
              create disk files containing transceiver memory information.

RGSTR940.TXT  A description of the "shareware" distribution principles by which
              the 940 Spoiler is made possible and a registration form that you

INSTALLATION:

kit installed)  appropriately connected  to your  computer through  an  IF-232C

installation options.   After  installation, 94INS200  returns you  to the main
program.   If you  have any doubts about what you are doing, you may quell them
by viewing or printing and reading the user's manual, 94SPL200.DOC.
