[WT-support] TS-590 COM settings

[Steef PA2A]

Bob,

The setting of DTR and RTS on COM11 had caused the problem here, not the Kenwood firmware. Both lines need to be set to Handshake on the USB-2-Serial port of the TS590. They were both Always Off and that did not work properly.

  Hi Harry,


  Are you using the Kenwood (HF) defaults, with DTR and RTS set to "Always OFF"?   Are you also using a USB-to-Serial adapter instead of a "real" serial port?  Some of these USB-to-Serial adapters may require DTR to be set to "Always ON".  Try that.


  Also in Win-Test, if the "Don't poll" checkbox is checked, UNCHECK it.


  If neither of these things seems to help, you may have to try a different USB-to-Serial adapter, preferably one based on the FTDI chipset rather than one based on the Prolific chipset.  It is very hard to get USB-to-Serial adapters based on the Prolific chipset to work properly.


  If you are using a microHAM virtual serial port, we'll need more details about how it is configured.


  Another possibility is to try OmniRig for TS-590 support, rather than the support built-in to Win-Test.


  PA2A's comment about firmware 1.04 is also somewhat troubling.

    Hi everyone,

    Trying to get Win-test working with TS-590 but not quite successful.

    Using 4800 8-N-2 at the Win-test side and 4800 at the radio side.

    The 590 follows Win-test commands (changing bands and modes, following
    cluster spots) but Win-test doesn't show any changes of the 590's
    frequency change.

    Any ideas ?
