Kenwood TS-590s with RFSPACE SDR-IQ spectrum display. SDR-IQ is connected in RX path of transceiver so that it does not get damaged. The SpectraVue software tracks the frequency of the TS-590s. Clicking on a signal on the screen automatically tunes the TS-590s to that frequency.

  • To connect the SDR-IQ, you need to get inside the radio, remove the signal from the RX side of the T/R relay, split this signal and feed it back to the radio and the SDR-IQ. It is totally not elegant, but works. maybe in the future, we will offer a cleaner solution.

  • This modification requires the addition of a coupler after the T/R relay on the RX side. The couple has very little loss in the thru path going to the TS-590 and about 10dB going to the SDR-IQ. We are looking at ways to supply a board that requires no soldering, but that has not been possible yet.

  • Great work, would love to know exactly how you modified the TS-590S, and setup the SDR-IQ. Very greateful for any consideration passed along to us fellow Hams.

  • Pity this mob don't answer potential customer questions.... :-(

  • @RFSPACE1 Hello, I have the TS-590s (I have a few videos on my youtube account re: the radio)...do you need to do anything special to make this work? Someone mentioned a 'relay' below for TX etc... is there anything special required to get this working other than the software & the USB cable? Thanks - Craig VK3VCM

  • Too bad they dont have software for the Mac

  • What happens if you transmit ? Do you have a coaxial relay that disconnect the SDR-IQ during TX ? I am wondering about the Heros Technology coaxial dual relay that disconnects the SDR-IQ if I transmit........

  • Nice video. The receive audio sounds good as well.  I like how you have it working with SDR-IQ
