Hi Steve,
In the last email you sent to me regarding the rear panel of the Ts590S, you
mentioned a single dot for antenna 1 and a double dot for antenna 2.  You
have probably already found this so I mention it also for the sake of
others, there is also a single dot just to the left of the left RCA jack and
a double dot to the right of the right-most RCA jack.  I think it is really
great that Kenwood would go to the effort and forthought to place these
tactile markers for visually impaired users.  In the overall scheme of
things, we are a tiny  minority of purchasers of this radio yet they still
do this.

Kent,

There is no 590a so it must be a typo.  I did get my front panel list from
icanworkthisthing.com

I don't remember getting a rear panel list anywhere, but there isn't much
back there (compared to the front), so here it goes:

Looking at the rear, across the top from  left to right:
Ant2
Ant1
(feel between the 2 connectors towards the top of the radio and feel  2
raised dots near  Ant 2, and 1 dot for Ant1)

Moving to the right  just below the top is the 6 pin molex for external auto
tuner.

At the far right, upper right hand corner is the  4 pin molex power
connector

Across the bottem from left to right:
RS232
USB
1/8 jack for external speaker
13 pin round din for data connection and audio in/out
7 pin round din for amplifier connection
1/8 jack for  straight key or pc cw keying
1/4 jack for cw paddle

At the far right, lower right hand corner of the rear panel are 2 RCA jacks.
One is for RX antenna, and the other is for  driving a transverter or
something.  I forget which is which off hand, but you won't need these right
now I'm sure.

73, have fun, Steve KW3A
