Kenwood TS-570D

Post by clegg333 »

Does anybody know how to get HRD to work with the 570D? I've tried a both a straight through and a null modem both to no success. I've also tried all different baud rates In HRD and Radio Menu and all CTS, RTS configurations {bnghd} Version is 5.24.0.38 (Because I'm a tight-wad :lol:)

What OS are you using?

Also I had an issue using a USB to serial cable as the chip of the cable wasn't compatible with the version of windows I was using.

n+1 the formula for working out how many radios you need with n being the current amount.

Windows Feckin' 10 and its a nightmare, though had the same problem with Win 7. I should mention I am using an actual RS232 Port off the back of the PC and not a USB to Serial.

When connecting it from RIG to adapter did you use a standard serial cable or a Null Modem cable?

just found this, it might help..

_______________________________________________________________________________________
I assume you have the TS570 serial port configured. Menu #35, I use the 38400bps setting (384-1).
Press MENU again to exit, power down the 570 and restart it.

PC: Verify the COM port you are using is setup properly in Windows/ControlPanel/Device Manager properties: COM#1 (do you have a serial port available?) Otherwise if only USB, you will need to do
the USB/Serial adapter cable route.

PORT SETTINGS: 38400,8,NONE,1 FLOW=NONE

Start HRD, Select CONNECT and make a New Connection, select Brand and Model of transceiver,
COM1 or the serial COM port you previously configured in Windows device manager.

SPEED= 38400
CTS= check mark
RTS= check mark
DTR= blank
