DXLabs/SDR Console/TS-590SG

 

I run SDR Console on the comport and DXLabs on the USB port but they don't like each other for some reason even though they are on different comports. SDR Console just freezes up and DXlabs loads extremely slow. I don't have that problem say with N!MM and SDR Console. Has anyone seen this? Maybe they are trying to share some common files.

+ Having Commander and another application controlling the same transceiver in the manner you describe is an invalid configuration.

+ Try connecting SDR Console to Commander's Secondary CAT port; see the diagram and articles in

I can run Spectraview okay connected to the 590s comport and DXlabs Commander to the 590s USB port no problems. SDR Console must be a different animal :-).

+ Where in the TS-590S specification does it state that independent CAT instruction streams can be simultaneously sent to its COM and USB ports?

I don't know, but I can control frequency on my MacBook Pro using the 590s USB port with RumLogNG and run and control the 590 with SDR Console on it's db9 com port with a PC. Of course when you change the frequency on one it changes to the same on the other; and other combinations. I've done this for a long time. That's a great feature of a TS-590. You don't have to use VSP or some similar program to control a radio through it's only comport with more than one program.

John,

have you tried Dave's solution of using the secondary CAT port in Commander to control SDR Console?

I use DXLabs commander and HDSDR (RSP1a)? at the same time? with my TS590sg, Commander talks to the USB port and HSDR talks to the RS 232 port, using the Omni-Rig driver in HDSDR.? This worked better than the Secondary CCAT Port in Commander.? (was more responsive and works with other software without changing anything, like N1MM, WriteLog - etc).? This allowed clicking on the signals in HDSDR and having the radio tune to the signal.

I don't know if the TS-590sg specification states that this is acceptable or not, but it works great!? I don't know if it will work as good with the TS-590s, don't have one, just have the sg version.

The band map followed the radio closer, when tuning from the radio, and the radio and commander followed faster when clicking on the band map.
There was not much difference, the major advantage to me was that the bandmap worked independent of any logging software running, making the bandmap useful when running N1MM, WriteLog and any other software that needed to also talk to the radio at the same time.
Thanks,

+ Thanks.

+ Anyone contemplating the use of this configuration - Commander and another transceiver control applications simultaneously controlling the same transceiver through a hardware or software port multiplexor - should be aware that these are invalid configurations, meaning that support will not be provided.

+ Commander's Secondary CAT port and the transceiver emulation products sold by Tom VA2FSQ (e.g. Win4IcomSuite) are valid ways to enable another application or device to lead or follow your primary transceiver.
