Hi
Well, my experience with USB to serial and parallel cables has not been
a good one. However, I wasn't connecting a radio to the computer with them
either. My main troubles appeared to be that the software I was installing
was looking for a com or LPT port and even though the cable was plugged into
the USB port and the drivers installed, the software could never see the
port. I think that with the right person who has the right know how the
project could have worked. I just didn't know what I was doing.
God bless,
Mark
God Loves you!

Subject: Need advice on how best to do rig interface with TS590 and new
laptop
Hello, everyone.
Well, I got my new laptop yesterday, so now the fun will begin, in terms of
getting it up and running with Jaws, and getting everything put back into
it, including the ARCP programming software, and the N3FJP logging software.
This new computer only has 4 USB ports--no parallel port, no serial ports.
Therefore, I now need advice in terms of what will be required to interface
the TS590 with the new computer.
As for sending CW via the N3FJP logging software, I have contacted the
manufacturer of the parallel interface I used in the past, to see what he
suggests.
But my bigger question now is what do I need in order to use the TS590ARCP
softwre successfully with the new computer?
I clearly will need a USB interface cable of some sort, but don't know what
to order or where to get it.
Also, I know there's a USB driver on the Kenwood web site that I'll have to
download and install, but I understand some folks have had some problems
with that in certain situations.
Therefore, any words of wisdom that anyone can pass along here would be
appreciated.
Thanks, and 73 from Tom Behler: KB8TYJ
