[WT-support] TS590SG

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

There's nothing special about keying a TS-590SG, right?  It has a key jack,
and it doesn't have a serial port with a built-in DTR pin keying circuit
like the K3.

So, just build or buy one of the COM port or LPT port keying circuits
described in the Wiki:

Here's a commercial device:

If you need an extra USB-to-Serial adapter, because your computer has no
serial or parallel port, I recommend a GearMo device such as this one
<http://www.amazon.com/GearMo%C2%AE-Professional-Adapter-Retention-Transfer/dp/B004ETETZK>
because
it uses an FTDI chip. Please try to avoid USB-to-Serial adapters based on
the Prolific chip.  They often cause many headaches.

You could also use a WinKey device instead of a COM or LPT keying circuit.
These are built-in to most microHAM interface boxes, or you could buy this
one:

If you were hoping to just using CAT commands to send all the CW, with no
extra hardware needed, that is not supported.
