not work properly.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Hi Harry,
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>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.
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Also in Win-Test, if the "Don't poll" checkbox is checked, UNCHECK
it.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>If you are using a microHAM virtual serial port, we'll need more details
about how it is configured.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Another possibility is to try <A
href="http://www.dxatlas.com/omnirig">OmniRig</A> for TS-590 support, rather
than the support built-in to Win-Test.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>PA2A's comment about firmware 1.04 is also somewhat troubling.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>73,</DIV>
<DIV>Bob, N6TV<BR><BR>
