I see no mention of this in my manuals on my TS-590SG. Is there a place I can find out the details of what this does and how it does it, so I can apply it to tuning and keeping on frequency, a motorized loop antenna capacitor?

Look at "AT Connector." It references Pg 70, Pin out diagram and Pg 74, Attaching to the AT-300. Its not limited to just the AT-300, but several other Mfrs of Tuners are also applicable. I use the KW ARCP-590G Pgm here for my Transceiver operation. I have yet to touch the dials & buttons, except for the initial Turn On when I first received the 590SG. With that in mind, if you want to tune a device thats attached to the AT Tune connector, you just clk on the AT Tune button and away it goes.

Message-ID: I picked up used LP pan2 & E-MU 0204 used with documentation . Looking at LP's website , they are example of rigs and settings , What I am looking for is settings for the 850 , when lighting up NaP3 and starting with setup - the drop down gives only a few rigs and the closest is the Kenwood TS-950 , with nothing said about matching other Kenwood rigs / differences . Assuming seems to cause more problems than they solve , especially when working with computers and someone that is lacking much on the computer side ;) I also have the Kenwood 232 box - computer interface , but may not have gotten all the cables , but can make them as needed . Which I would think I would want , because the lack of DSP and the LP website talks about lots of good DSP & filter controls etc. So to start , maybe settings for the set up to get at least the panadapter , then later get control of rig with NaP3 software .

Coverage is 160-10 meters with 100 watts (40W AM) output. Superior dynamic range of 108 dB. It has one Hz step dual VFO's, superior interference reduction, keyer circuit, dual-noise blanker and 100 memory channels. Other features include multifunction LCD display, keypad entry, all mode squelch and memory keyer. 13.8 V DC at 20.5 amps is needed. Features: 160-10 meters transmit General coverage receiver IF Notch CW Reverse Full and semi QSK Memory Keyer 100 Memories Dual Mode NB XIT/RIT SSB/CW Slope Tuning All Mode Squelch RF Speech Processor This particular rig is immaculate. It works fine and looks just like new. No scratches or defects. It is in its original box, complete with mic, power cord, and paper work for $600. Kenwood TS-450 S AT, HF Transceiver: The Kenwood TS-450 is a formidable transceiver covering 160 through 10 meters including the WARC bands with 100 watts (40W AM). An internal automatic antenna tuner is included. The TS-450 supports many advanced features such as keypad entry, VOX, 100 memories, XIT, RIT, Notch, IF Shift, Squelch and digital meter. It requires 13.8 V DC at 20.5 amps. Features: 160-10 meters AF Notch CW Reverse 100 Memories Dual Mode NB XIT/RIT IF Shift Keypad Entry All Mode Squelch RF Speech Processor This particular rig works 100% as best I can tell, but cosmetically it is not the 9+ that I normally sell. I would rate this one about a 7 on cosmetics. With mic, power cord, and paper work for $450. Kenwood Crystal Filters: All of these are "plug in filters" as opposed to the older type that must be soldered in. They are used in rigs such as the TS-450, TS-570, TS-690, TS-850, TS-930, TS-940, TS-950, and others. These are for the 8.83 MHz IF. All work fine and look like new. Paperwork and hardware are included with all. They are $75 each, or buy all three for $210. Kenwood YK-88 S 1 Crystal Filter: This filter is 2400 Hz wide Kenwood YK-88 SN-1 1800 HZ Narrow SSB Filter It can also be used for digital modes. Kenwood YK-88 C-1 500 Hz CW Filter (can also be used for narrow digital modes) Linear Amp Switching Cable for Kenwood Rigs: This cable goes from a Kenwood transceiver to a linear amplifier to switch the amp from transmit to receive. One end has a DIN connector, as is used with most Kenwood rigs. The other end has an RCA phono plug, as used by most linear amplifiers. Before using this cable, please check the switching capabilities of your transceiver, and the requirements of your amplifier. This cable is for switching the relay. $15 DC Power Cable This is the heavy duty power cable as used on most of the Kenwood HF rigs, plus also many Icom, Alinco, and others. It has the 6 pin molex connector, with four pins used - two for plus and two for ground. The cable may not have ever been used. It looks good, and of course works fine. $22 Kenwood MC-43 Hand Microphone: The Kenwood MC-43 is probably the most popular hand mic for Kenwood equipment. In addition to the PTT switch, it also has up and down buttons on the top to change the frequency. It has a round 8 pin plug, so it fits most any Kenwood rig with the round 8 pin connector. This includes the TS-430, TS-440, TS-450, TS-690, TS-530, TS-570, TS-850, TS-930, TS-940, TS-950 and other HF rigs. It also works with VHF, UHF, and dual band rigs including the TM-201, TM-211, TM-221, TM-231, TM-241, TM-721, TM-731, TW-4000, TM-2530, TM-2550, TM-2570, TR-751, TR-851 and others. AES sells the MC-43 for $65. This one is new. It was still in its original plastic until I removed it for testing. Of course it looks and works perfectly. $43 Kenwood "Soft Cases" SC-35 soft case For Kenwood TH-78 dual band HT. Looks like new. Only $12. SC-8 T soft case For Kenwood TH-21, TH-31, TH-41 series HTs.

To the best of my knowledge it has never been used. I was told that it has been in the bedroom closet of a climate controlled house, in its original box, for the last seven years or so. Prior to that, no one can remember seeing it in use. It does not even have any dust, which is something that would happen even with a little use. Although it is apparently new, unused, it is still on the order of 20 years old. Obviously it still has its original filter capacitors which need to be replaced before use. The outer box looks like it probably was moved a few times, which corresponds to what I was told, as the previous owner changed QTHs. I can sell this unit in one of three ways: 1) As it presently is, in its original box, but needing new filter capacitors, for $1000. If you are handy and/or would like to do your own work, this is the best option. Obviously this is the easiest option for me. 2) I replace the filter capacitors and verify it works. Cost would then be $1200. This is the option that I least prefer. 3) I replace not only the filter capacitors, but add a glitch resistor in the B+, protective diodes where needed (primarily in metering circuit and across relay coils), change biasing of the tubes, and add a soft key circuit. Cost would then be $1300. Obviously, I would prefer pickup in the Ocala FL area, very close to I-75. Being that it has its original boxes, I could ship, although it would be costly, which is obviously not included in the above prices. If you have been looking for a really terrific, pristine, mint, TL-922 A, this is it. Due to the many options, it would be best to talk on the phone.
