[RTTY] TS 590s on RTTY

[John Barber]

Hi Dave,
The TS590S works very well with just an A-B USB cable from PC to radio. You
don't need any other interface. Forget running conventional AFSK with audio
from the PC, as the radio has a built in sound card controlled via USB.
All the information you need is on the G3NRW resource pages at
http://www.g3nrw.net/TS-590/
I have used the 590S for 3 years and the 590SG for 6 months. The 590SG is my
main station and contest radio. The filtering is fine on RTTY even in CQWW
and other very crowded conditions.
The K3 is a great radio, but with options the price is high. You could buy 2
x TS590s for half the price of the K3 and for RTTY there is little
difference in the performance.
Cheers,
John GW4SKA

I am planning to help a local ham get his TS 590S on digital.  I haven't
seen the rig yet, but have looked at the manual on line, which seems
Kenwoodishly lacking the needed details.  My questions:

Can the rig run RTTY with only a usp-usp cable between the rig and computer,
which the manual hints at?
Is TS 590 FSK true FSK or is it internally generated AFSK?
If AFSK is desired, must it be run through the 13pin din connection?
Are all filters available in all modes?
I prefer not using interfaces, other than small transformer-isolation boards
and ptt connection.

Thanks for any advice.  I have been spoiled by my K3.

73, Dave, K2YG
