I have a TMG707 and DRA-50 for vara. Is there any way to control frequency and band from the computer interface??

Hi All, I'm seeking help on the installation of a Piexx.com interface board (IF-10A/B/C) into my old TS 140. A few months ago when I received the board I installed it as per the instructions and as it is nearly identical to the original Kenwood board it was easy to install. Problems happened when I tried to use it (initially with N1MM) and I really thought I'd blown the unit - wiped a memory chip or something. The display was scrambled and alarming beeps were heard. I shut it down and started to look at buying a new rig. I threatened it with being replaced by a new Yaesu!
Does anyone know if some set up procedure is required. There is a step in their instructions I don't understand about getting the Serial Interface to respond to command "if;" I'm out of my depth when it comes to finer points of programming. I expected N1MM to operate the interface.

Hi,
I have a TS-850s with? the standard ssb 2.7KHz 8MHz filter installed.
If I were to install the narrow ssb 1.8KHz 8 MHz? filter can I leave the 2.7 KHz installed or must I switch it?
If both are installed would the new filter selection be indicated by the 500Hz indicator for example?
regards,

I have been researching Kenwood repairs as I think I'll be needing as well.

In this order, I have:

Unfortunately, Tim is closed until the middle of April, but I expect he'll be going great guns when he returns.


Clairmont Skyland Radio and Tv Services looks like a very good bet.


Do check with these guys. I don't have a good sense of them but well worth a shot.

I'm sure there are a few others that haven't made it to my radar yet.
Good luck.

Hi Donald,
You have a nice line up of radios there Donald. I always think of Icom as the cream of commercially made rigs. (Not counting K3's or Tentec). You are lucky to have a club house our regular meet once a month folded because of Covid. It wasn't a club house as such just a meeting room.
We have started weekly field days at a local beauty spot which has a cafe on site so at least we can put out a few calls then go for a Coffee and a slice of cake!
In the south of UK at the moment the WX is damp and quite warm for the time of year Overcast/ rainy and 10deg Centigrade. I hope you have escaped the very bad WX we are seeing on the TV every day.
Keep warm,
73

Glad it will work for you. I have two sets of paddles but use my straight keys
most of the time.

My everyday radio shifts between my Icom 7300 and my newly acquired 705. (My
7100 is for mobile use.) I like working QRP with the 705, and will be doing that
this afternoon at the clubhouse, where there's no noticeable RF noise.

Hi Donald,
Many thanks for the prompt reply to my Question.
It was good of you to go to the trouble of finding the page in the instruction manual.
I looked at the specification sheet but could find any reference to CW speed.
I use a stand alone keyer at the moment and it works well(Home brew).
looking at the Instruction manual page 42. It looks as though once you have set up the speed via the menu you can leave it displayed on the screen (and adjust WPM )and still be able to see what frequency you are on.
My everyday radio is a Yaesu Ft857 and you have a choice between key speed or frequency display you can't have both. So it looks as though the TS590 would work OK for me.
Thanks again for your time; much appreciated.
Best wishes for the New Year 73 and Good DX.

Hi ,
My trusty TS440sat has a fault and was thinking of upgrading to TS590s (Not SG). I am solely CW and want to know if there is a knob to change the WPM speed? I do not want to go into menus to change the speed.

It looks to me that you have to go into menus to adjust CW speed:



I don't have one, so I can't tell you from experience. The above is from the
manual, and it seems to be saying that you have to use a menu to adjust speed.

You could use an external keyer, or perhaps use a faster speed but allow more
spacing between characters and words than would be used for the faster speed. I
send code that way myself.

If you have to vary your speed quite a bit, this wouldn't work for you. But if
it only varies a few WPM, then it might work well.

My TH-D7 seems to have become unable to charge either one of its battery packs through the power port on the radio. I have the original NiCd pack and an aftermarket NiMH battery pack. With the batteries being low, it goes into a reboot loop, but not when the charger is plugged in. It seems to work just fine from a real 13.8V power supply.

Has anyone else seen this issue, and if so what's the fix; A shot of DeOxit, A new unobtanium power jack?

Hello from Canada

I have a TS-950SDX which has developed an intermittent problem lately.

I'm listening to the band in question (it could be any band) when quite randomly the speaker suddenly goes dead silent and at the same time the VU meter goes to full maximum.

The radio doesn't seem to be putting any power out when this fault occurs. Then the fault clears itself up without me doing anything.

Does anyone recognize this symptom and have any suggestions on what could be the matter?

Thanks and 73s,
geo VE3GZB

2 meters at 250 watts is not the same as HF at 100 watts; 100 watts on 75 meters would get into my telephones and set off my security system.
