Tom: Thank you for the response. You have reminded me of an old TS-2000 issue I forgot about. There are no missing CAT commands in the TS-2000. There is just no clear method to abort transmission once it starts. In the TS-480 and other newer Kenwood radios, you can stop the message using an empty KY ...

Is there a technical reason that direct CW over CAT is not enabled for the Kenwood TS-2000? I note that when the TS-2000 is selected as the transceiver in the CAT settings in RumlogNG, the message under the CW tab for the “Transceiver” selection says, “The selected transceiver isn’t supported for CW ...

Tom: I have discovered that "TX0;" does not work with the TS-2000. However, the abbreviated command, "TX;", does key the main transmitter. On the TS-480, "TX;" is a valid command that is read by the radio as "TX0;". The TS-2000 manual does not list "TX;" as a valid CAT command. This looks like a ...

Tom: I appreciate all of the assistance so far and the advice on settings. One more question regarding working around the MKII codec bug with RUMLOG. Do you know if the TRX CAT option in RUMLOG works with the TS-2000? Here are some details. When I watch the CAT traffic between RUMLOG and the TS-2000 ...

Tom: Thank you for the response. I am still on a Microkeyer II. My understanding is that your Microkeyer III uses a newer 24-bit USB audio chip and hardware design that can deal effectively with the Mac's USB negotiation. I know about the PTT/SC/LINE LEDs and their behavior, the configuration of ...

Tom: Thank you for seeing that. CAT for frequency and mode work even with 1000 in that space. I have changed it. CAT is still working. CAT and the keyer always worked. I have also made the Microkeyer work on Windows and Linux. So, other than the USB bug, I think the Microkeyer is OK. Your ...

Tom:

Here are the rest of the files, compressed. This interface will not allow sending them all at once.

Thank you again.

Tom: Thank you for the response. I understand very well that the Microkeyer II is an especially sophisticated device with many configuration options and that it does not operate at the USB protocol level as do simpler audio/vox interfaces such as SignalLink. The behavior of locking up the PTT when ...

Tom: Thank you for the reply. Those were already set as indicated. Type: TS-2000 ICOM Address: 0x01 Voice/Digital: According to ARRL... Checkboxes: All combinations change nothing. The issue remains. If I set only the Microham Codec to the output, I can get normal transmission. As soon as I set the ...

Tom: Thank you for the response. I was unaware that the auto PTT would not work in Mac OS. I presumed it was just an audio level detector in the Microham II hardware: it hears the digital audio from the app and keys a PTT relay, as with SignalLink and other devices. Indeed, audio PTT on the ...
