RUMLog Can't Read Radio - Kenwood TS-590S

Unread post by WB5C »

Hello,

I have recently purchased a Mac Mini with OS X Lion, and am attempting to connect my Kenwood TS-590S to RUMLog. I have downloaded the appropriate drivers, but RUMLog doesn't "see" my radio. That is, neither the frequency nor the mode (I really just run SSB) are detected by RUMLog. I checked my baud rate, stop bits and parity, and everything matched. But I still can't get the radio and RUMLog to talk to one another. Does anyone have any hints for a new Mac user?

I downloaded SkookumLogger last night so I could log my NAQP QSOs, and I was successful getting SkookumLogger to connect with my radio. MacLoggerDX also appears to work, but I prefer RUMLog's interface, so I'd like to stick with RUMLog. If anyone can provide some help, I would appreciate it.

As far I know, you have to enable the CTS flow control. ("Use CTS")

DL2RUM,

Thanks for your quick reply. I enabled CTS control and then unchecked the "Xon" button. Works great now! Thanks again! Love the program!
