Tnx to Andy and Bob for the feedback on this. Yes the manual says that
the Main / Sub radios must be connected at 115,200 bps, and while it was
some time ago, my testing here seemed to prove it true.
The 890 does install 2 virtual com ports for the USB connection:
standard and enhanced.
I have a TS-890S that has a KPA500 connected to the radio's serial
port. The amp follows the radio, no problem. Very slick.
I also have a TS-590SG that I can use as a second receiver for the
TS-890. For this to work right, the sub RX needs to connect to the 890
via the serial port with
Thanks to Andy and Jack for replies on my question about the alarm on
the KPA500. I have a couple of ways to go with this now, and am
grateful for the help.

I've stuck a microphone element near the radio and connected it to the
mixer I use to put radio audio and
I mentioned to Dan on another list that while I did install the fuses
myself a few years ago, I did get sighted help to confirm the right
voltage was showing in the window before powering it up.
It's too nice and too expensive a piece of gear to risk turning it into
a smoldering pile of
