Specifications
TS-990S
The Kenwood TS-990S is particularly well suited to TRX-Manager. Fully controllable via a
computer, it also have a rich front panel which takes advantage of the TRX-Manager's "
computer aided traffic" concept. Consequently, TRX-Manager offers an alternative to the full
control via computer.
Setting up your transceiver and TRX-Manager
It is recommended to set up the Transceiver for the highest practical speed. It is necessary
to boot TRX-Manager and the Transceiver after each change of the communication speed.
It is also recommended to set:
Transceiver's Auto Mode = OFF
Frequency Correction USB/CW = OFF
Beeper = OFF
From TRX-Manager's Setup, please select TS-990S and check RTS. The highest available
speed is recommended : 115200.
If you use the internal CW Keyer of the TS-990S via CAT, you have to check CW Internal.
TRX-Manager may be configured for two modes of operation (Setup):
1.
Polling NOT checked (recommended) : This mode enables Auto Information and minimizes
polling. In fact no polling happen (except in memory channel mode and at startup). This
mode is recommended because it is the more efficient and display is very fast. It is also
best suited for remote operation whetever the remote mode you use but especially using a
serial server.
2.
Polling checked: this mode sets OFF auto information and and enables a polling for
critical data. This mode is for testing purpose only and should not be used.
Warning
Please note that when a menu is activated on your transceiver, commands via PC are ignored
(except commands related to this menu): make sure to exit the menu after each change.
