Kenwood TS-590s/TS-590sg issues
Posted: Sun 3. May 2015, 14:55
1) I now have both TS-590s and TS-590sg receivers. I noticed that when I changed my transceiver type to ts-590sg and opened up the cw window, RumlogNG indicates that there is no cw interface connected and won't let me use the keyboard. When I changed back the transceiver type to ts-590s then this error goes away and I can again use the keyboard to send cw.
When using TS-590SG I can set the cw macros in the Preferences and use F1, F2, etc. But it won't allow me to use the CW window to type cw. I also noticed that the cw pulldown menu that says Increase cw speed by 2 or decrease cw speed by 2 has no effect. I need to manually set this on the radio. This is true for both TS-590s and TS-590SG transceiver settings.
Also I am unable to see what I am typing on the cw window. There is no echo of the text. The ts-590s setting allows me to send cw using cw window but I can't see what I am typing, it doesn't display in the window area.
2) Is there any way to turn off the Map information. I am noticing a huge slow down with RUmlogNG trying to show the map for each station. This doesn't happen all the time but when it does, the program hangs and I must wait for the band information to correct itself before I can do anything else in RUmlogNG. I have of course, downloaded the version from the Apple store and know that I can download the version from the website that doesn't have the map feature, but I was wondering if there was something in the Preferences section that allows you to turn off the Band feature.
