TS-2000 & Ham Radio Deluxe

[W4WSW]

Hello everyone, Just to the point, I have the TS-2000, I will like to know how can I meke it work with Ham Radio Deluxe, (rig control) I have the cable already from the Radio to the Computer (RS-232 com port) is this the correct one..? do I need something else..? or do I have to configure something in the rig and/or the computer..? Or using the ACC2 connection somehow..? If I have to make a cable I will do it, but I need this thing fixed soon...

Thank you all....

Please any help will be appreciated

I believe your serial cable from your computer to the TS-2000 is correct.

Next on the TS-2000 go to Menu item 56 and select 57600bps.

Next in Ham Radio Deluxe select Connect, New, Kenwood, TS-2000, Com 1 (or what ever computer COM Port), 57600bps and RTS (only).

That should do it.

Also, make sure your serial cable is a straight-through cable - pin 1 connects to pin 1 on each connector, etc.

Thank You Dennis, you hit the nail in the head, that was it, I replace the cable and I'm good to go...

Don't make the same mistake I did.. I spent quite a few hours troubleshooting why my software would not communicate with the TS-2000X at any baud rate other than 9600. I had forgotten that the baud rate setting is the only menu item which does not take effect instantly! After you change the baud rate, exit the menu, turn the radio off, then turn it back on. Baud rate setting will not change until after power down/up cycle. Geez did I feel dumb after that one!
