When connecting with another TS-590S, TS-480HX/ SAT, TS-2000/X, TS-570S/D/SG/DG, or TS-870S, use the same COM connector baud rate on each transceiver.

Note: While transferring data, other functions may work slower.

Q 7UDQVIHUULQJ'DWD

The TS-590S transceiver works as the Master, sending data to the Slave transceiver.

1Turn ON the Transfer function of each transceiver.

•On the TS-590S, access Menu No. 58 and select “on”. For the compatible transceiver, refer to the instruction manual that came with the transceiver.

2On the Master, while in VFO mode, select an operating frequency and mode.

3On the Master, press [Q-M.IN].

•When using another TS-590S as the Slave, “PC” appears on the Slave.

•The displayed data is stored in Quick Memory channel 0 on the Master and transferred to the Slave.

Note: If the Master has RIT switched ON, the offset frequency is added to the reception frequency to be transferred.

Q 5HFHLYLQJ'DWD

The TS-590S transceiver works as the Slave, receiving data from the Master transceiver. The Slave can receive data using either Quick Memory channel 0 or the VFO.

1Switch ON the Transfer function of each transceiver.

•On the TS-590S, access Menu No. 58 and select “on”. For the compatible transceiver, refer to the instruction manual that came with the transceiver.

2On the Slave, access Menu No. 59 and select either “oFF” (QUICK MEMO channel 0) or “on” (the VFO).

• The default is OFF (QUICK MEMO).

3On the Master, perform the appropriate operation to send data.

•For the correct method, refer to the instruction manual that came with the transceiver.

Note:

XIf you always use the TS-590S for receiving only, activate the TX Inhibit function via Menu No. 60, to avoid unintentional transmission.

XWhen the Slave receives data using the VFO programmed with a simplex frequency, the received data replaces the data on both VFOs. On the Slave, both RIT and XIT are set to OFF.

XWhen the Slave receives data using the VFOs programmed with split frequencies, the received data replaces the data only on the TX side of the VFO. On the Slave, XIT is set to OFF but RIT is not changed.

By connecting this transceiver to a computer, you can change the computer into an electronic console from which you can remotely control functions of the transceiver. This capability makes remote operation of your transceiver possible from across the room, from another room, or when coupled with other commercially available products and where lawful, from another city, state, or country via an internet connection.

Q (TXLSPHQW1HHGHG

When connecting the TS-590S to a PC USB port:

•USB 2.0 conformed (base) port

•Commercially available AB type USB 2.0 cable

•Transceiver control application

•Pre-installed virtual COM port driver, on the PC. (The driver is available at the website listed below.)

When connecting the TS-590S to a PC COM port:

•A PC equipped with a COM (serial) port

•1 straight cable. This cable must have a DB-9 female connector at one end, and a DB-9 or a DB-25 female connector that mates with the COM port of your computer at the other end.

•Transceiver control application

Q &RQQHFWLRQV

To connect the transceiver to a computer, refer to the diagram in “CONNECTING PERIPHERAL EQUIPMENT” {page 65}.

Note: Before connecting this transceiver to a computer, switch OFF the power to both the transceiver and the computer.

In order to control the transceiver with the computer, you must first choose the communication parameters.

1On the computer, configure your transceiver control application for 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.

2On the transceiver, select the same transfer rate via Menu No. 61 (COM port) or 62 (USB port).

•The defaults are 9600 bps and 1 stop bit for Menu No. 61 and 115200 bps and 1 stop bit for Menu No. 62.

•Only a baud rate of 4800 bps uses 2 stop bits.
