[Dx4win] DX4WIN - Kenwood TS570S Parameters (Repost)

[Andy P Hewitt]

Bill,
I also have a TS570S (bought in the US) and get the same results, more or
less. In my case the radio control drops out after a variable time delay,
which can be anything from 10 seconds or so to a couple of hours. I get the
same messages as you. I am also using DX4Win 8.04 but the same problem has
always existed with various earlier iterations of the program. I have had
the rig for about ten years and have always used DX4W. I also have a
TS950SDX which works FB, and when I have raised this questions previously I
have been advised that if the prog works with one it should work with the
other.


My PC is a Dell Dimension E520 desk top, running Windows XP Home SP3, my
settings in Preferences are the same as yours, except that I am using 4800
baud. I have tried various speeds with any effect. I am using a MicroHam
DB9K CAT interface with the PC. After trying to resolve this problem without
success I decided to just live with it. I have found that switching the 570S
off and back on again reconnects the CAT.

If you get any replies that provide a solution I would be very pleased to
know.

I've been working on computer control for the TS-570S and have it going for 
N1MM, FLDigi, and HRD but I'm missing something for DX4WIN. 

The CTRL indication appears on the Kenwood front panel screen for 10
seconds, 
then disappears and I get an error message:
Radio timed out
Radio interface has been disabled

Here is the setup:
DX4WIN 8.04
User Level set to advanced
 
Compaq Presario 1500 laptop
Using a Radio Shack Gigaware Serial to USB converter assigned to COM10
Windows XP, SP3
Transceiver: Kenwood TS-570S

Preferences:
Radio:
Kenwood 570S
Address 00 Default checked
Baud Rate 9600 Default checked
RTS checked
Kenwood without S meter (However, 570 does have an S meter )
COM port 10
Poll rate (ms) 500 (5000 does not work either)
Max Tries 6
Transverter offset 0
Bands None

Kenwood Transceiver  Menu:
32 Off
33 2
34 6
35 96-1
36 on
37 on
 
If someone is running a similar combination, could you compare your settings
and 
see what I've missed?
Thanks,

Bill, W4WNT
