KRC2 and Kenwood TS-590

[Maarten-2]

I am trying to make the KRC2 work with my Kenwood TS-590 radio.

So far I have followed all instruction manual and tried all the various
settings without success.

Anyone here has experience with making the KRC2 work with Kenwood.

Thanks N1DZ Maarten

Did anyone ever answer this question?  I was given this answer when I asked elecraft if the KRC2/590 combination was possible:

"I believe the answer to your question is yes, but there is a big consideration. The connection must use the TS-590's COMM (RS-232) port and not the USB port. The user will then need a real serial port on the computer (or a USB serial adapter) which will connect to the KRC2. Also, serial port connection cautions as described in the KRC2 manual must still be observed - the KRC2 can be damaged with RS-232 voltages on pins other than its TxD and RxD connections."

I saw the word "yes" and got one.  Beginning to think this was a bad move, because I really have no idea what the remainder of this message means.  

Tnx for your help,
