PC CONTROL COMMAND REFERENCE GUIDE
ABOUT THIS REFERENCE GUIDE
All descriptions in this reference guide are for the
user’s convenience. JVC KENWOOD Corporation
does not support nor warrant the applicability of this
documentation in any way.
CONNECTING TO A PC
You can connect the TS-890S transceiver to a PC
COM port using a RS-232C connector, to a USB port
using a USB 2.0 (AB type) cable, or to a LAN port
If using the COM port or USB, through the transceiver
menu, select a baud rate for communications between
the PC and the transceiver.
■Using a RS-232C Straight Cable
Directly connect the RS-232C straight cable
between the COM port of the PC and the COM
terminal of the transceiver.
■Using a USB Cable
When using a USB cable, you must first pre-install
a virtual COM port driver on the PC. Then, connect
the USB cable A connector to the USB port of the
PC and the B connector the USB terminal of the
transceiver.
Download the driver from the following URL.
http://www.kenwood.com/i/products/info/amateur/software_download.html
Note: No warranty for the operation is granted when
connecting through a USB hub.
■Using a LAN Cable
When connecting the TS-890S and a PC using
a hub, connect them with a straight cable. When
connecting the TS-890S directly to a PC, connect
them with a cross cable.
LAN COMMUNICATION PROCEDURES
1Through the LAN menu of the transceiver, set
the IP addresses and your administrator ID and
password.
2Set the TCP/IP using the PC.
3Send the ##CN command from the PC to connect
with the transceiver.
4When a connection response comes from the
transceiver, send the ##ID command to transmit
your administrator ID and password.
5If the transmitted ID and password are
authenticated with those set up in the transceiver,
the connection is completed.
Note: If there are no communications for 10 seconds, the TCP/IP
connection with the transceiver is terminated.

AI (AUTO INFORMATION) FUNCTION
The AI (Auto Information) function automatically outputs
contents of commands whenever various states of the
transceiver changes.
For example, the frequency information of the VFO A
is automatically output to the PC with the FA command
when you change the operating frequency of the VFO
A. It is not necessary to first send a read command from
the PC. Besides the frequency of the VFO A, almost all
changes of state of the transceiver are automatically
output with each command.
Using this function, you can see the state of the
transceiver on a PC in real time. This is useful when
making an application using log management software.
Turn this function on using the AI command (the initial
state is OFF).

PC Control Command referenCe guide
■Command
A command consists of 2 to 4 alphanumeric
characters. You may use either lower or upper
case characters. The commands available for this
transceiver are listed in the PC Control Command
Tables, beginning on page 3.
■Parameters
Parameters are used to specify information
necessary to implement the desired command.
The parameters to be used for each command are
predetermined. The number of digits assigned
to each parameter is also predetermined. Refer
to the PC Control Command Tables {page 3} to
configure the appropriate parameters.
■Terminator
To signal the end of a command, it is necessary to
use a semicolon (;). The digit where this special
character must appear differs depending on the
command used.
■Error Messages
In addition to the Answer command, the transceiver
will send the error messages listed below.
Error
Message Reason for Error
?;
• Commandsyntaxwasincorrect.
• Commandwasnotexecuteddueto
the current status of the transceiver
(even though the command syntax
was correct).
Note: Occasionally, this message may not
appear due to microprocessor transients in the
transceiver.
E;
A communication error occurred, such
as an overrun or framing error during
a serial data transmission.
O; A receive buffer overrun error
occurred.」
PC CONTROL COMMANDS
Note: PC control commands will not be available when “PSQ/
PKS Pin Assignment (COM Connector)” from the Advanced Menu
is set to “On”.
A PC control command is composed of a 2 to 4-letter
alphanumerical command-name, a set of parameters,
and the terminator that signals the end of the
command.
Example:
Command to set the VFO A to 7 MHz
FA 00007000000 ;
Alphanumerical command
Parameters
Terminator
Commands can be classified as shown below:
PC control

Input command
(input to the
transceiver)
Set command
(sets a particular
condition)
Read command
(reads an answer)
Output command
(from the
transceiver)
Answer command
(transmits a
condition)
For example, note the following in the case of the above
FA command (Frequency of the VFO A):
• Tosetthefrequencyto7MHz,thefollowing
command is sent from the PC to the transceiver:
“FA00007000000;” (Set command)
• ToreadthefrequencyofVFOA,thefollowing
command is sent from the PC to the transceiver:
“FA;” (Read command)
• WhentheReadcommandabovehasbeensent,
the following command is returned to the PC:
“FA00007000000;” (Answer command)

Parameters:
P1 (Split number)
00 ~ 31
P2 (Bandscope Spectrum Display Information (40 digits))
20 spectrum information are each expressed as 2 ASCII digits.
Two digits of the beginning of division No. 00 are spectrum
information of the left side, and two digits of the end of division
No. 31 become the spectrum information of the right side.
When EXPAND (spectrum analysis range enlargement) is
ON, display information in the range enlarged than the range
displayed on the transceiver is output.
Example:
• When the display span is 100 kHz, spectral display
information in the range enlarged to 300 kHz is output.
• When the display span is 200 kHz, spectral display
information in the range enlarged to 400 kHz is output.
The range of value for each spectrum information is from 00h ~
8Ch (hexadecimal numbering).
00h shows the state where the spectrum is extended to the
top (signal strength = 0 dB) and 8Ch shows a state where the
spectrum is not displayed (signal strength = -100 dB).
The respective spectrum information is converted to ASCII code
of the hexadecimal number of from the upper byte digits. For
