"Kenwood rigs have master/slave menu options designed to enable one Kenwood rig to follow the frequency of another. The KAT500 manual recommends enabling these options, but I cannot confirm if they affect the frequency reported by the FA; command. If you have a null modem cable, can you please connect it to the TS-590 COM port when these options are enabled, and report what gets output when SPLIT is ON?"
Bob, My TS-590S COM port is connected to my controller which has the ability to output a comprehensive set of frequency data to the diagnostic log. E.g. 125:50:02.165 Log all frequency data IF00018100000 004000004020010000;FA00018100000;FB00018100500; VFO A = 18100000 VFO B = 18100500 RIT/XIT = 0040 IF_P4 = 0 (1=RIT active) IF_P5 = 0 (1=XIT active) IF_P8 = 0 (1=transmitting) IF_P10 = 0 (0 = VFO A, 1 = VFO B, 2 = MEM) IF_P12 = 1 ( 0 = Simplex, 1 = Split) RX freq = 18100000 TX freq = 18100500 Expected KAT f; = F 18100; If that data would be useful to you I can run a TS-590S test for the 4 possible combinations of Menu 58 and 59. I'd prefer not to change my station configuration. The example shown above is for 58 off and 59 on. This is the configuration I normally use. 73, Andy, k3wyc ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
