here's what I would do... uninstall - Delete the VarAC program and Omni rig folders too, completely restart pc. (not shutdown) go to sleep reinstall it all again. just set VarAC to CAT, set baud and rts cts to high set your audio in VARA modem. it will work fine. it will PTT as needed. just manually set the Freq, USB-D on the radio manually. i have the ts890. it will work. after a few days working it... you can add the ts-890.ini and try that in omni rig. john

Ok you can just set VarAC to CAT, set baud and rts cts to high set your audio in VARA modem. it will work fine. it will PTT as needed. just set the Freq, USB-D on the radio manually. but the ts-890.ini file gary sent me works for ts-890 too. yes you have to set baud to match. 73 john

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.

Gary got the zipped ini file, works perfect for TS-890s thanks loads john kk4shf

Gary, this file was empty. can you email me? Thanks loads! johnsails@hotmail.com

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

thanks for explanation.
