Hey Steve
Thanks for the info on Kenwood software and resources. I have downloaded the
stuff for the 590 and installed it on my XP Machine and have connected the
rig to the computer through the Serial port, seems to be working ok but I
have not figured out how to change the menu options and how to enter
freqs--gotta read the "help" links.
A.S., WA7FXB
