Hi all,

I own a old Kenwood TS-50, I used it with Fldigi without problem with CAT interface, but with RumloNG and old versions I couldn't use.
It is possible in a future to put this rig? the commands are the following:


Full duplex serial, 4800 Baud, 1 start, 8 data, 2 stop bits No parity
Commands consist of a 2-char command, parameters, and a semicolon terminator

Nice!!! it works with Ts-480.

I don't know why I don't try before.
