If you can find the MC-47 hand mic you have 4 additional programmable buttons on that mic. Since Kenwood doesn't sell a remote keypad for this radio this is the next best thing. I use them to send CW memories and voice keyer memories, much easier than reaching up to push the appropriate button on the radio.
Plus Kenwood took a lesson from the Yaesu FT450 and added some of the nice features from that radio-you can program the UP and DOWN buttons on the microphone to control various features of the radio. Everything you really need is on the front panel, and the menu items are pretty much set and forget things. The Kenwood TS590S is like a modern day TS430 with very updated performance.įrom an ergonomic standpoint this radio is one of the best out there today. It was a good performer and probably my favorite in terms of ergonomics-just very simple to use and did everything you needed an HF radio to do. Noise level lower.Last summer a friend and I were discussing favorite rigs we used to own and the Kenwood TS430 came up as one we both really liked. Thats because i have more power to use at my home QTH, and my remote QTH is more "quiet". You maby wonder why do i not set up the both TS-590S as TWIN, the reason is that i would like to use the RADIO END as a listening station and the station at my control end (home QTH) as a transmit station.
In the control RRC i have set: "Use USB comport as comport 2: YES"
#HOW TO CONNECT KENWOOD TS 590S TO CW DECODER SOFTWARE#
V.2.02, i get this error: "Unknown device is connected to COM:XX, or Baudrate setting of this software is not correct"
When i try HRD for connectio, i set the TS-590 - baudrate 9600 - COM 6 or one of the other COM ports mentioned above. Same baudrate in radio and on COM2 in borth RRC. Have also tried USB/USB, comes upp with all the installed virtual COM ports 11, 12, 13 (extra), 14. I have tried the RS232/USB cable, (FTDI chip) comes up with COM port 6. Ports are opened in the modem at the radio end, DynDNS are configurated and works well.Īt the radio end, i have a modem/internet connection with the following speed: download 15-25 Mbit/s, upload 1 - 2 Mbit/s.

Note also that you can pull CAT data in parallel off of the radio RRC to use a PC on that end, or to sync with a remote device (amplifier, SteppIR, etc.)
#HOW TO CONNECT KENWOOD TS 590S TO CW DECODER SERIAL#
go to the Windows Device Manager and look at which virtual serial port was assigned to COM1 and use that for your software, taking the correct baud rate into account.
#HOW TO CONNECT KENWOOD TS 590S TO CW DECODER DRIVERS#
connect the USB cable between the RRC and computer and wait for the drivers to finish installing Then change the serial settings for COM1 to change "Use USB Com Port as COM1" to YES make sure that first Microbit Setup Manager is installed first on the control PC to get the drivers. The serial setting for COM1 "Use USB Com Port as COM1" must be set to NO Use the pinout description in the RemoteRig manual, or just try a null-modem cable which usually works (may need a gender changer). connect between the control RRC's COM1 and the PC, but note that the pinout is not the standard straight-through serial port. Note that the baud rate does not have to be identical with COM2 to fit a lower bandwidth or software requirement.
The easiest method is to duplicate COM2 over COM1 using a function in the RRC as follows: In order to access CAT, you need to get to COM2 without touching it. Note first that in a "Twin" configuration, COM2 is used to "tie" the two ends together and carries the CAT data. Here is my CAT checklist for a Twin configuration (should also be applicable to TS-590):
