TS-590S and SWL

[ZS6BRZ]

Hi Jordi

Success at last !!  Thanks for your continuing efforts in helping out.

I followed your instructions to download the latest version of SwissLog.  I had to do it a second time as I had not activated 'Administrator rights' which is an important aspect.  One has to HAVE 'Administrator rights' before downloading.  I also downloaded the 'virtual COM port' software off the Kenwood site.

The important point was to install the virtual COM port software before connecting the radio up to the PC using the USB cable.  The baud rate for the Menu 68 on the TS-590SG was set at 115200 and on the COM port software at 38400.   The Transceiver Control Interface setting was 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.  The baud rate was also set to 115200 bd.  

For your interest, the radio controls the linear via a serial cable.

Unfortunately it was only during my free time that I could do this - it could have been sooner if I had more time playing amateur radio !

Thanks once again and very 73.  
Sam
Look forward to working you on HF
