Band data cable with a TS-590SG much shorter TX switching

Chris E. All Messages By This Member #362 Just putting this in here for anyone else with a TS-590SG (likely any radio that will provide band data). I initially was running with only the PTT cable and using RF for band switching. The Kenwood has a keying delay option of 25ms to avoid hot switching. But in reality it was something at least a half second in total from the time I hit the PTT switch to the amp keying on TX. It worked but was annoyingly sluggish. I decided to try a band data cable with a null adapter (the amp wants to see the rig set to 9600b btw, won't work at faster speeds when I tried it). I could finally set the menu to option 2 which is no delay and now the amp keys like most any other, single or low double digit ms timing, far far faster. Now I can use VOX with out the sloppy keying and it's much more responsive to manual PTT keying. Much less doubling with people now.? Happier with this for sure. -- 73? de?Chris?-- KC2RGW ------------------------------------------------------------ ˙dn ?p?s ????? ?o??uo? ?no? u?n? ?s???d 's??? ?u?p??? ??? no? ??

Once i went direct, all my issues have disappeared. Without a dummy load even. All modes. All bands. 73 VE6UM toggle quoted message Show quoted text On May 28, 2020, at 8:19 AM, Chris E. <kc2rgw@...> wrote: ?
