PC CONTROL COMMAND REFERENCE GUIDE
ABOUT THIS REFERENCE GUIDE
All descriptions in this reference guide are for the
user’s convenience. JVC KENWOOD Corporation
does not support nor warrant the applicability of this
documentation in any way.
CONNECTING TO A PC
You can connect the TS-590S/ TS-590SG transceiver
to a PC COM port using a traditional RS-232C
connector, or to a USB port using a USB 2.0 (AB type)
cable.
If using the COM port or USB, through the transceiver
menu, select a baud rate for communications between
the PC and the transceiver.
■ Using a RS-232C Straight Cable
Directly connect the RS-232C straight cable
between the COM port of the PC and the COM
terminal of the transceiver.
■ Using a USB Cable
When using a USB cable, you must first pre-install
a virtual COM port driver on the PC. Then, connect
the USB cable A-connector to the USB port of the
PC and the B-connector the USB terminal of the
transceiver.
Download the driver from the following URL.
https://www.kenwood.com/i/products/info/amateur/software_download.html
Note: No warranty for the operation is granted when
connecting through a USB hub.
COM/ USB-B (VIRTUAL COM) CONNECTOR
Entry Specifications
Protocol UART (RS-232C)
Baud Rate
Selectable from 4800*/ 9600/ 19200/ 38400/
57600/ 115200 bps
Start Bit 1
Data Bit 8
Stop Bit 1 (2 is available only when using 4800 bps)
Parity Bit None
Flow Control Hardware flow control is possible
*: 4800 bps cannot be used with the USB-B connector.
AI (AUTO INFORMATION) FUNCTION
The AI (Auto Information) function automatically outputs
contents of commands whenever various states of the
transceiver changes.
For example, the frequency information of the main band
is automatically output to the PC with the FA command
when you change the operating frequency of the main
band. It is not necessary to first send a read command
from the PC. Besides the frequency of the main band,
almost all changes of state of the transceiver are
automatically output with each command.
Using this function, you can see the state of the
transceiver on a PC in real time. This is useful when
making an application using log management software.
Turn this function on using the AI command (the initial
state is OFF).
PC CONTROL COMMANDS
A PC control command is composed of a 2 letter
alphabetical command name, a set of parameters, and
the terminator that signals the end of the command.
Example: Command to set VFO A to 7 MHz
FA 00007000000 ;
Alphabetical command
Parameters
Terminator
Commands can be classified as shown below:
Computer
control
commands
Input command
(input to the
transceiver)
Set command
(sets a particular
condition)
Read command
(reads an answer)
Output command
(from the
transceiver)
Answer command
(transmits a
condition)
For example, note the following in the case of the
above FA command (Frequency of VFO A):
• Tosetthefrequencyto7MHz,thefollowing
command is sent from the PC to the transceiver:
“FA00007000000;” (Set command)
• ToreadthefrequencyofVFOA,thefollowing
command is sent from the PC to the transceiver:
“FA;” (Read command)
• WhentheReadcommandabovehasbeensent,
the following command is returned to the PC:
“FA00007000000;” (Answer command)
■ Command
A command consists of 2 or 3 characters. You may
use either lower or upper case characters. The
commands available for this transceiver are listed
in the PC Control Command Tables, beginning on
page 3.
■ Parameters
Parameters are used to specify information
necessary to implement the desired command.
The parameters to be used for each command are
predetermined. The number of digits assigned
to each parameter is also predetermined. Refer
to the PC Control Command Tables {page 3} to
configure the appropriate parameters.

PC Control Command referenCe guide
■ Terminator
To signal the end of a command, it is necessary to
use a semicolon (;). The digit where this special
character must appear differs depending on the
command used.
■ Error Messages
In addition to the Answer command, the transceiver
can send the error messages listed below.
Error
Message
Reason for Error
?;
• Commandsyntaxwasincorrect.
• Commandwasnotexecuteddueto
the current status of the transceiver
(even though the command syntax
was correct).
Note: Occasionally, this message may not
appear due to microprocessor transients in
the transceiver.
E;
A communication error occurred, such
as an overrun or framing error during a
serial data transmission.
O; A receive buffer overrun error occurred.

* When registering a simplex channel, set parameter P1 to 0.
After setting P1 to 0, the channel becomes a simplex channel,
even if it was already a split channel.
* When registering a split channel, set parameter P1 to 1 (set the
transmission frequency and mode). The reception frequency
and mode are not updated at this time.
* When registering a section defined channel, set parameter P1
to 0 to enter the Start frequency, then set P1 to 1 to set the End
frequency.
* When you have a blank channel selected, and set parameter
P1 to 1, the channel becomes a split channel. However, the
transmit and receive frequencies are the same, and the transmit
and receive modes are the same.
* When registering a section defined channel and parameter P1
is set to 1, the Start and End frequencies are the same.
