Menu 69 Line for data comms: USB this selects USB for CAT control Menu 68 USB data baud rate: 115200 (this is for CAT control over USB)
#DIGIPAN VS FLDIGI SERIAL#
Menu 67 Com port baud rate : 115200 (this is for a serial db9 cable but set it anyway while here) Menu 34 Data RX filter high cut, set to 3kHz, this is the top end waterfall cutoff with the filter wide open. Menu 33 Data RX filter low, set to 10Hz, you can set to whatever but this is the bottom end waterfall cutoff when the filter is wide open. With option two you set the overall width and shift it left to right which I find more flexible for digital use. In mode 1, you can set the low and high pass frequencies, but the low can only go up to 1kHz and in digital mode it's kind of annoying. Menu 29 set to 2 (data filter, sets it so it is width and center frequency mode) Go into the menu on the rig and set the following items
#DIGIPAN VS FLDIGI UPDATE#
Optional, but since you are at it, download the firmware update from Kenwood as well and be sure you get the right version and follow those instructions carefully. If you get the ARCP software responding, you are on the right track. Follow the instructions and prompts for this.
#DIGIPAN VS FLDIGI INSTALL#
While you are at the Kenwood site, get the ARCP control software and install that too.
Now connect the USB cable to the rig, power up the rig. Follow the install instructions, don't have the radio connected during this step, and just to be sure, go ahead and reboot after the install completes.
#DIGIPAN VS FLDIGI DRIVER#
Go to the Kenwood site and download the USB driver (not needed for linux) for Windows or Mac. You can lose your mind trying settings and not even know that there are wires not connected inside the cable you are using. I recommend looking for the TrippLite USB A to B cables (Amazon has them), they have ferrites on them and definitely work. Get a USB cable that is properly wired for all pins so CAT control and sound will all pass through it. The audio settings instructions, rig at 100W always and controlling output power with the audio drive levels will work for PSK/Olivia etc as well as all the other modes like JS8Call, Packet, FT8, FT4, the concept is all the same thing for any radio. I will focus on the Fldigi software however the fundamentals here should get things moving for other purposes. These steps will apply to most OSes, linux, Windows and Mac with only minor variances between them. My idea is to have it as small as possible for quick deployment and then if required for longer periods power it externally from a larger battery/solar system.I will attempt to walk through the steps needed to get a Kenwood TS-590SG configured for use via the built in sound card, using a USB A to B cable. Really needs to be larger battery and solar panel IF it is used as a permanent install. Solar regulator hardwired to battery and solar panel I'm using a 7Ah battery which should give around 25Hrs run time without sun. Although wiring needs tidying up.īattery fitted, powered up and charging. (using the regulator set to 8v it will give it a longer run time at the expense of running the battery lower than you should)Īll pcbs mounted and wired. Set at a constant 8v to supply the router. As you can see it is on a fly lead.Īdjustable voltage regulator.
It must also be a weather proof unit for outdoors deployment.įirst thing is to remove the pcb from the OEM boxīecause of the way the antennas exit the rear of the OEM case beside the ethernet ports I can't mount it with the TNC connectors exiting the water proof box without blocking the enthernet ports I decided to rotate the left connector 90degs and remove the right connector from the board. The plan is to convert this to a free standing battery/solar powered HamMesh node.
