I have just completed a new document that explains how to connect the TS-590S to the SDR-IQ receiver. Go to: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/wadei/ts-590s.htm then click on the link: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The memories in the Kenwood TS-590S can be very useful in all kinds of operational situations, but setting them up through the front panel can be a slow process -- after a dozen or so, you rapidly lo
James If you want to work some *real* DX, you might consider sliding up a few Hz, as 1810 is the lower band edge for most of Europe. -- 73 Ian, G3NRW _______________________________________________ U
This winter I plan to try various digital modes on 160m (JT65, WSPR, V4, PSKxx etc), but I have no idea where to transmit. Are there any established frequencies or frequency ranges on Top Band where
Tree My apologies for breaking the "rules" of this reflector. I had no idea that we were not allowed to talk about 21st century digital modes here. I now have the information I need. I will trouble y

This isn't as far fetched as it seems. Folks on 30m, which is only 50kHz wide [1], manage to rub along quite nicely: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/wadei/30m_band_utilization.htm Maybe something like t
Recently, while writing Excel VBA code for tools to manage the Kenwood TS-590S, I found the need to monitor the CAT commands issued by my software to the radio, and to check the responses from the ra
To improve navigation on the 30m, UK 60m and 160m Band Utilization Charts, I have now added a clickable button at the start of each section. This makes the page less cluttered. Just click on a button

The 160m Band Utilization Chart has been updated. It now shows the JT9 dial frequency at 1.8395 MHz. The chart is at: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/wadei/160m_band_utilization.htm The chart is still s

The stream is what I am hearing in my headphones. What comes over the run radio is useless to anyone unless they barge in on the frequency. What is heard on the S/P radio also not practically useful
