Hi!

 

At the link below to the "TS-590S Resources Page" under the button
"MeemSet590" there is an Excel spreadsheet used to manage frequency memories
for the TS-590.  There, it says this about MemSet590: "MemSet590 is a
program written by Ian Wade, G3NRW, to manage memory settings in the Kenwood
TS-590S transceiver. MemSet590 is a .XLS program that runs under Microsoft
Excel.  With MemSet590 you set up an Excel spreadsheet containing the
settings for all the 110 memories in the radio, then click on the Upload
button to transfer these settings to the radio. In the opposite direction
you click on the Download button to transfer all the radio's memory settings
to the spreadsheet. This can save a large amount of time, and is certainly
much quicker than setting up the memories from the radio's front panel.
Working with the spreadsheet is very simple. No knowledge of Excel is
required - you simply fill in the boxes. Most of the settings such as Mode,
FM Deviation, Tone Frequencies and so on are set up through dropdown lists,
so very little typing is necessary. There is comprehensive error checking to
make sure you don't attempt to upload invalid data to the radio."

So, is there an Excel application like this for the TS-2000, say
"MemSet2000"?  Alternatively, can this be adapted for the TS-2000?  

 

Especially for blind hams (like me), and even for sighted hams, of all the
different ways of managing memories Excel is by far the most efficient way.
Excel's sorting, finding comments etc. functionality are simple, expansive
and fully accessible.  Finally, one seemingly simple additional function
that could be added to this application would be a "Tune To" function that
would tune the rig to the selected memory.  G3NRW (MemSet590's author, has
been copied on this email.
