I'll have a fix for this shortly....I put in a split check for Elecraft rigs
and that is doing the "FT" query which isn't supported as Bill notes.
Bill...do you know of a CAT manual for the TS590/690? I can't seem to find one.

the TS-450S and TS-690S use RTS/CTS hardware handshake flow control. I have
never see a rig with a serial CAT interface that uses XON/XOFF flow control,
RTS/CTS is ubiquitous on Kenwood rigs with the exception of some handhelds that
only have a 3-wire CAT serial connection, and more recent rigs that have a menu
option to disable the default RTS/CTS hardware handshake flow control.
Your interface may loop RTS and CTS at the rig end, that will provide a
default RTS signal and will work with no flow control settings at the PC end.
Yes it does only have 3 wires in the DIN plug to the rig from the dongle, I
had never opened it previously.
It has worked with handshake=None in wsjtx in the past, but XONXOFF always
worked with all digital radio software, so I had always left it at that
setting.
It always needed the one stop bit, not two, contrary to the manual.
Bring back parallel ports! :)

Barry,
your interface probably loops RTS and CTS. XON/XOFF is passive until there is a
looming buffer overrun, so selecting that option when there is actually no need
for it usually works. Almost certainly your correct setting is no flow control,
which is fine given your probable interface wiring. Note this is why WSJT-X has
the option to change the flow control since it is not quite as Mike states "the
defaults are always correct".
