USB COM Interface of TS590s

Noch keine Kommentare »
06 August 2026
After moving the USB cable from one PC USB port to another, the USB COM port of the Kenwood TS590s went silent. After checking all possibilities I must realize that the USB/UART bridge chip (IC906: CP2102SX0567 (Kenwood special) / 28-pin SMD QFN? MOS-IC) and/or something around in the transceiver is obviously defective by a possible voltage spike, resulting in that this might lead to an expensive repair. The internal USB hub seems to be OK, as the sound devices of the transceiver are still working; only USB CAT control is OFF now. I cross-checked this with a second computer.
The TS590s does offer a RS232 COM DB9-pin "male plug - why?" as well. Hopefully I can gain control again via this port. The necessary DB9 gender changer is ordered. Keeping fingers crossed ...
BTW: This seems to be a rather common fault with this tranceiver when looking through some forums.

08 August 2026
The DB9 (f/f/) gender changer has arrived and the TS590s is controllable again now via RS232. Luckily I had saved all settings which I reloaded into the transceiver. Now back to almost normal.
I must find out, if I can possibly repair the faulty parts by myself.

11 August 2026
The transceiver is working, but I'd like to have it repaired one day. If you know someone in Germany who does the work, let me know please.

20 August 2026 After two more firmware resets today, everything came back to life. The virtual COM port re-appeared and everything seems to work correctly.
I ordered a USB isolator and a RS232 isolator to make it more safe.

1000 Grid Squares worked on 50 MHz

After 36 years operating on the band I finally got it done (3 June 2026) : I have worked Gridsquare (Locator) number 1000 on the 50 MHz (6 Meter) band. That really has been a long run, as my location at the Baltic Sea is already really far North. Additionally all southern directions see rising terrain blocking the radio signals.

Thanks go to all over the world who helped here.
