To be able to see Freq list I switched my CAT kenwood settings to OMNI-RIG I set up omni correct. But no TS-890s rig selection, using other model kenwoods and my other ts-590 rig, no luck. it did not work, in that is always set to FSK-R not USB-D, though it did change freq. So I switched back to CAT settings, works fine but I can't see Freq list, and have to change freq manually- no problem.
I don't care that is doesn't set the Freq, in CAT mode, I can do manually,
just would like to see the freq reminders.
thanks

The TS-890 works great on VarAC, there is a TS-890 selection in Omni Rig that you need to use as the 890 uses a different CAT command for Mode that no other Kenwood uses.
No TS-890 selection in version 1.20 newest version I could find. See images below, figures kenwood would throw a monkey wrench in the software.
AM I missing something? any ideas?
thanks john
Here is the ini file that I used with my 890.
Gary, this file was empty. can you email me? Thanks loads! johnsails@hotmail.com
Gary got the zipped ini file, works perfect for TS-890s
thanks loads

The forum software is not working for a download,:
{"message":"file not found","code":404,"payload":null}I am having very similar issues with my Kenwood TS-590sg.. I used the TS-590 selection in Omni-rig and it 'sort of' works.. But the 'connect station' only shows up as not grayed out for a few seconds. Also, switching frequency in omni-rig results in radio going to rsk sometimes, other times is stays in USB.. No idea if USB is what I want for all bands but that's where it goes. And, finally, transmit doesn't work at all. Trying CQ.. sometimes it shows up as an outgoing message with no subsequent transmit.. other times the outgoing message stays blank.
Gary, sent me TS-890s ini file for Omni rig, and that's fixed all my issues. I had to have him send it to me as zipped file by email, then you just drop in in the OmniRig "Rig" folder to see in dropdown list.
After you said that I went and looked... I found the existing ini file and opened it. I found several things supposedly set up for the TS-590 that weren't correct. My radio is set to 115200 baud for pretty much ever other digital mode I use.. The ini file had it set to 9600. There were some other minor things as well. But after getting the changes made to that ini, I tried it out and still have issues. The frequency now tracks between the software and my radio... changing frequency in the software causes the radio to change and vice-versa. It still comes up with "WRONG" when I try to connect my station so still not successfully using VarAC but I'm gaining 😉
