How to remote control your Kenwood TS-590, TS-890 etc. over the internet if port 60001 is blocked by your internet provider
Kenwood transceivers like the Kenwood TS-590, TS-890 can be remotely operated over a network with free software (ARCP) that is downloadable from the Kenwood site.
Ping the other side to check if there is a connection and first make sure a ping is returned before proceeding.
The network ports used by ARCP are 60001 TCP and 60000 UDP.
There could be difficulties trying to remote control your rig over the internet with ARCP because some, many or all internet providers block port 60001.
There are several ways to remedy this "port block" problem.
- Use a VPN. A VPN uses its own port and tunnels all the ports u want to use through this VPN port. A VPN is often not free.
- Use a remote desktop. Setup everything on a computer right next to the rig and open that desktop remotely. Search the internet for free VNC. VNC uses ports too but you can configure them to use any port you want.
- Redirect port 60001. It is possible to redirect port 60001 to a port of choice that is not blocked. If you search the internet there is a free service available. This works in combination with a dynamic DNS service. Locally you will have to configure your router to accept the port of choice and reroute it to 60001.
- Use other remote control software for your rig that does not use blocked ports. Open890 can be used with the TS-890 and not only has very nice features but is free and works on any computer that has an internet browser.

How to stream Internet radio stations to your media-system via DLNA with Rygel on Ubuntu 18
My Yamaha RX-V473 recently stopped playing internet radio stations. Yamaha worked with vtuner for this but the vtuner people recently stopped their free service. The Yamaha update to fix this is only for their younger products so the RX-V473 has no new firmware or fix. Yamaha has no clue yet about Open Source and the many benefits of Open Source so no one will ever be able to fix the problem changing the firmware.
Playing your own MP3 files collection is working and easy but I want to listen to SomaFM on my stereo and this option is not (yet) present in the Sharing section of Ubuntu Settings.
Next: edit rygel.conf. Not just any rygel.conf but the one in /home/$Username$/.config/rygel.conf. (Where $Username$ is your username.)
Go to the section [GstLaunch] and edit the changes as seen below.
I have added the complete relevant section of a working version here.
[GstLaunch]
enabled=true
launch-items=audiotestsrc;soma;drone
audiotestsrc-title=Audiotestsrc
audiotestsrc-mime=audio/x-wav
audiotestsrc-launch=audiotestsrc ! wavenc
soma-title=SomaFM SpaceStation
soma-mime=audio/mp4
soma-launch=souphttpsrc iradio-mode=false location=http://ice2.somafm.com/spacestation-128-aac
drone-title=SomaFM Dronezone
drone-mime=audio/mpeg
drone-launch=souphttpsrc iradio-mode=false location=http://ice2.somafm.com/dronezone-256-mp3
Now when the receiver or any other DLNA compatible client is going to search for DLNA servers under the server button it will see the media share from Rygel and GstLaunch.
Select GstLaunch and 3 radio stations appear:
Audiotestsrc will produce a test tone for testing.
SomaFM SpaceStation will play SomaFM Spacestation in 128 bit AAC
and SomaFM Dronezone will play SomaFM Dronezone in 256 bit MP3
You can add as many internet radio stations as you want.
Streaming files from the NAS
The Yamaha RX-V473 has the possibility to access DLNA servers and I had it hooked up to an Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS with Rygel installed ( sudo apt install rygel ) and media sharing in Ubuntu Settings set to ON.Rygel options in Ubuntu Settings |
Playing your own MP3 files collection is working and easy but I want to listen to SomaFM on my stereo and this option is not (yet) present in the Sharing section of Ubuntu Settings.
Internet radio
To stream SomaFM over DLNA (Rygel) to your DLNA client (Yamaha receiver or any other player) you need to install rygel-gst-launch. Type in terminal:
sudo apt install rygel-gst-launch
Next: edit rygel.conf. Not just any rygel.conf but the one in /home/$Username$/.config/rygel.conf. (Where $Username$ is your username.)
Go to the section [GstLaunch] and edit the changes as seen below.

You can add as many internet radio stations as you want.
- To check if the URL of the stream is working open VLC and go to Media and then Networkstream and enter the URL. If VLC starts producing music the URL is correct.
- Every time you change rygel.conf you need to restart Rygel for the changes to take effect. Restart Rygel in the standard Ubuntu Settings with the Media sharing ON/OFF button.
- Sometimes the client (The TV, stereo or any mediaplayer) needs to be reset to see changes in the Rygel configuration.
- To check for error messages stop Rygel with the standard Ubuntu Settings and start Rygel in terminal using the command:
rygel
If there are any errors they will be displayed in the terminal.
- To install all Gstreamer plugins type in terminal:
sudo apt install gstreamer1.0-*
- AAC streams have the mime type audio/mp4. MP3 streams have the mime type audio/mpeg.
- There is no cover art with this setup.
- Some players accept pls and m3u streams and others do not. I am still trying to figure out why here they do not play.
- As from SomaFM FAQ "The 128k AAC streams are the best sounding. The 64k AAC-HE streams are a close second, followed by 128k MP3 streams." I do not know where 256 MP3 fits in but my guess is they are the best.

How to run pyradmon.py in Systemd on Ubuntu 18.04.2-LTS
pyradmon.py is a little python script I need running to get data from my Geiger counter (GMC-320) to its data showing webpage (Radmon.org).
The script has to always run, also after reboots, outages, changes to the system or the script itself, and it has to be restarted if it fails.
On Ubuntu 18 and many other systems a system called Systemd is in use to facilitate this.
To get the script running in systemd do the following:
Create a file called "radmon.service" in /etc/systemd/system .

How to enter Ubuntu terminal with an (old) DOS computer and a nullmodem
It is possible to use a DOS computer and enter the Ubuntu terminal via a (serial) nullmodem cable.
Even without any network installed on the DOS computer I can read my mail, browse the web or service the Ubuntu server using my old DOS laptop.
I have been using a Tulip lt 286 and it comes with an external Floppy disk port, a VGA connector that can be used for an external VGA monitor, 1 external serial COM1 port, a 2400 baud modem on COM2, 1 PS/2 port for an external keyboard, 1 external printer LPT1 port, 1 internal ISA bus port used for the IDE hard disk and 3.5 inch floppy drive and an external ISA bus port originally intended for connection to an external box containing 2 ISA BUS connectors.
I could use the external ISA bus port for a network card but I do not have the ISA expansion cable needed for this.
As server I used a Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS computer that has an external COM port. There are 2 ways to add a tty to it.
I installed DOS 6.22 on the laptop and installed Norton Commander 5.5 to copy files between several computers with a (serial) nullmodem cable.
I also installed IBM-PC MS-DOS Kermit v3.16 Beta 7 patch level 0 and (eventually) found it very helpful. But if you use this program for the first time you can be a little lost as it has a steep learning curve. Here is some excellent reading material on DOS/Kermit http://kermitproject.org/onlinebooks/usingmsdoskermit2e.pdf .
With the nullmodem connected to my Ubuntu servers COM port I can now connect to an Ubuntu terminal session.
After startup of Kermit on the DOS computer type "set speed 38400" to set the speed of the serial connection. Then type "c" to open the terminal and connect to the Ubuntu server. Al other default settings of Kermit are fine.
The (modern) Ubuntu server has a far higher serial port speed compared to the DOS laptop so you will have to press the ENTER button a few times to make a successful connection. Some random characters may appear on your screen. The Ubuntu server will start with a baud rate of 115200 but will try lower speeds and eventually a connection at a lower baudrate will succeed.
The first time I logged in there was in intriguing message on the screen.
"You have new mail."
What to do? I never had this message when I logged into the server using the server itself. I never knew the server handled any mail.
I typed "mail" and saw a long list of mails the kernel send me about failures etc.
Then "r" to read, "d" to delete, "n" for next message, and so on.
It turned out I had more that 2600 mails waiting for me and the standard mail application wanted me to read them all one by one.
Therefore I installed Alpine by typing "sudo apt install alpine" into the terminal on the DOS computer. To handle the mail instead of typing "mail" I type "alpine". Without configuring anything alpine takes over and handles all mails and shows them to you in an ordered and easy text interface.
To get double the rows (lines) and columns add the following line in your autoexec.bat.
MODE CON: cols=80 lines=50
Now all seems well until Midnight commander, Alpine or any other Ubuntu terminal program is opened. Only the upper half of the screen is used. There is no way Ubuntu can find out the dimensions of your terminal so it assumes you have a VT102 terminal that like most terminal types has only 24 lines of text. Type "sudo resize" to maximise the screen space the program is using to all full 80 x 49 characters instead of only 80 x 24. (sudo apt install xterm may be needed)
I can log into my Ubuntu server from my DOS laptop which is great and completely useless.
Next thing to try is running a graphical browser on my DOS laptop. Arachne runs fine but I still need that DOS TCP/IP driver.

Getting the Ubuntu server ready
As server I used a Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS computer that has an external COM port. There are 2 ways to add a tty to it.
1: I added "console=ttyS0" to the file /etc/default/grub in the line that now says: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash console=ttyS0"
Save the file. You might need to have admin rights to do that, if so, open the file with "sudo".After saving the file type "sudo update-grub" in terminal to enable the new boot options. Reboot the server to apply the changes.
Or:
2: Apply a Systemd service using Execstart=/sbin/getty -L 38400 ttyS0
Its that easy, nothing to install.Getting the DOS computer ready.
Getting software on the old laptop is a pain because most of my floppy disks are 20+ years old and they keep failing.I installed DOS 6.22 on the laptop and installed Norton Commander 5.5 to copy files between several computers with a (serial) nullmodem cable.
I also installed IBM-PC MS-DOS Kermit v3.16 Beta 7 patch level 0 and (eventually) found it very helpful.

How to Link DOS to Ubuntu in Norton Commander with a nullmodem cable
How to use "Link" in Norton Commander between an old DOS computer and an Ubuntu computer with Norton commander inside a DOSBox.
All was tested on DOS 6.22 with Norton Commander 5.5 running on one side and Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS with Norton Commander 5.5 running in a DOSBox 0.74 on the other side of a (serial) nullmodem cable.
All was tested on DOS 6.22 with Norton Commander 5.5 running on one side and Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS with Norton Commander 5.5 running in a DOSBox 0.74 on the other side of a (serial) nullmodem cable.
- Use a (serial) nullmodem cable on both COM1 ports.
- Set the COM1 port on both computers to the same speed.(9600 is reliable on old computers) On ubuntu set the speed with "sudo stty -F /dev/ttyS0 9600". Check the speed with "stty -F /dev/ttyS0".
- To check if the cable is going into the correct connector/port attach an old (Microsoft) serial mouse to the port, it will not work. Type in terminal "sudo inputattach --microsoft /dev/ttyS0". If you can move the pointer with the serial mouse the port is working correct and it is ttyS0. This is not a solution for a serial mouse but works fine for this test.
- To be able to create directories in DOSBox on Ubuntu start DOSBox manually in a terminal with sudo.
- Open DOSBox and configure "serial1=directserial realport:ttyS0". You can do this by typing " serial1 directserial realport:ttyS0" (This is confusing because you are using a cable called nullmodem and there is also the (wrong) option to go for "serial1=nullmodem")
- Check the setting at the dosbox command prompt with "serial1"
- Start Norton Commander 5.5 on both computers and open the menu with F9 and open the "Left" or "Right" panel, scroll down and open "Link".
Screenshot of Norton Commander 5.5 in DOSBox on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS |
- Choose Master on one side and Slave on the other side and press Link on both sides.
Now the master computer has a panel that has files on the other computer and files can be copied from one computer to the other and back.

Norton Commander "Link" between DOS and Win10 computer
This setup is used for transferring files between an old MS-DOS computer and a modern computer like Windows 10. Both sides are using Norton Commander only one of them is running in a DOSBox.
All was tested on DOS 6.22 with Norton Commander 5.5 running on one side and Windows 10 Pro 1809 with DOSBox 0.74-2 running on the other side of a (serial) nullmodem cable.

How to use "Link" in Norton Commander between an old DOS computer and a Windows 10 computer with Norton commander inside a DOSBox.
- Use a (serial) nullmodem cable on both computer COM1 ports. DOSBox has not implemented the use of LPT ports. To test it with a parallel port you will need two real DOS computers.
- Set the COM1 port on both computers to the same speed.(9600 is reliable on old computers)
- Open DOSBox and configure "serial1=directserial realport:COM1". You can do this by typing " serial1 directserial realport:COM1" (This is confusing because you are using a cable called nullmodem and there is also the (wrong) option to go for "serial1=nullmodem")
- Check the setting at the dosbox command prompt with "serial1"
- Better to set this in the dosbox config file.
- Restart dosbox and check in the dosbox terminal (The black second screen behind the DOSBox screen) if the COM port is used ok. If not, a connection in Windows might prevent DOSBox from taking the line.
- Start Norton Commander 5.5 on both computers and open the menu with F9 and open the "Left" or "Right" panel, scroll down and open "Link".

Bad Company Gaming Community - Domination Takistan. Some secrets revealed.
The Bad Company Gaming Community has a public Arma 2 server running Domination Takistan.
Here are some tricks to make life easier in sunny rebel infested Takistan.
Here are some tricks to make life easier in sunny rebel infested Takistan.
- Second primary weapon: Pick up a gun with full ammo and switch it to backpack.(With scroll mouse.) Now you can pick up a second primary gun with full ammo.
- Unlimited ammo for your primary guns: Switch between guns and all clips that where
not completely empty are full again. (This gives you unlimited ammo.)
- C130J flyable by all: You don't have to be a pilot to fly the C130J. If you get into the back of the plane you can sneak into the pilot seat and off you go.
- C130J Gunship: Load a tank (Tusk/Boomer) into the C130J (Fortress 1) with the turret sideways.
Now the gunner can hammer the target from the air if the C130J circles the AO.
- Gun-laser: During night with the night-vision on you can turn on your gun-laser with L and
use the beam to communicate with friendlies. Not all guns have a laser, try them all.
- Tube and backpack filled with rockets: If you first pick a tube with rockets and then a
backpack it will work and you can use them both.
- Far vision (Up to 10K): Hold the space button and scroll mouse to select communication.
Here you can increase the view distance from 1 to 10 kilometers.
- Set a viewpoint: Go to the map with M. Click on the map, Don't move the mouse and press/hold left-shift then right-click on the map. (If you are in group channel your group members will also see the marker.)
- Swimming erases all your gear: If you go for a swim you loose all your guns, ammo, tubes, backpack and even your night-vision and binoculars. But you can switch to your second primary gun. (If you acquired one.)
- Everybody can use stinger and strela AA rockets: Strela rockets are less vulnerable to countermeasures than stingers. Best used against slow flying choppers.

Some tips and tricks for the Kenwood TS-590S
- If you need very low TX output for modes like WSPR you can use the DRV output. Push the DRV button and for TX the DRV output will be used and that is about 1 mW depending on the TX power setting. For RX the normal antenna will be used.
- Listening to AM broadcast stations you can set the bandwidth control up to 5 kHz wide but beware this is per sideband so in AM the bandwidth is actually twice that wide. Normally a broadcast in AM is 9 kHz wide so the 10 kHz available is more than enough.
- The option to buy a TXCO from Kenwood is expensive. A cheap Chinese TCXO works too and only costs about 12 euro. Search for them on eBay or AliExpress. The cheap price has the disadvantage that this cheap TCXO introduces extra noise to the receiver especially on 50 MHz.
Cheap Chinese TCXO
- The power output varies according to the voltage given by the power supply. The manual states that 13.8 Volts of power is needed. On 12 Volts the rig only gives a maximum of 50 Watts. Full power of 100 Watt output is reached with a power supply of 14 Volts.
- Remember that as the manual states the on-board power meter gives an average power reading in SSB.
- To send recorded audio messages without touching the PTT or send button, set the VOX to On and VOX level to 0.
- To expand the transmit range of the transceiver remove resistor R900. The expanded transmit range is 0 to 30 MHz. There is no TX between 30 and 48 MHz.

Radio Batavia taken off the air by the navy (With audio)
Every now and then I scan the airwaves with my Kenwood TS-590S for some chill music and this last sunday I stumbled upon 5890 kHz AM where radio Batavia was playing its oldie tunes.
The DJ was a dutchmen telling us he was transmitting from his big ship on a very harsh North Sea.
Just after explaining how proud he was of his new huge antenna system that reached the whole of Europe, (and it has to be big on 5890 kHz!) he reported an unknown ship on the horizon.
Binoculars scanned the horizon revealing it was the navy and it headed their way fast. A radio contact with the approaching ship confirmed the navy was coming their way to board the ship.
A light panic became audible in his voice.
I started the recording at that moment.

After a while the music stopped , the DJ stated he would be back in the future and the signal was off the air.
The airwaves are as exciting as ever.

How to expand the transmit frequencies on a Kenwood TM-D710GE (aka Mars cap)
The Kenwood TM-D710GE originally comes with a large receive range of 118 MHz all the way up to 1300 MHz. (Interrupted from 524 MHz to 800 MHz) It has a small transmit range of 144 to 146 MHz and 430 to 440 MHz.
To expand the transmit range from 136 to 174 MHz and from 400 to 470 MHz you will have to turn off the radio, then open the set with 8 screws and remove the resistor labeled W601.
With the front of the radio facing you it is on the lower left hand corner. Closest to the control head on the left hand side of the radio.
In the popular youtube videos doing this mod on older versions of the radio this is a green wire.
After removing the resistor and turning the transceiver on it will reset to the default settings so it is a good idea to save all settings and memory banks beforehand to a file. This can be done with both MCP-6A or CHIRP.
Here are some more hints and tricks concerning this radio.

Kenwood TM-D710GE hints, tips and tricks
This radio is not in production anymore.
APRS
The Kenwood TM-D710GE has a GPS built inside the head so you can put an APRS beacon on the air without the wire hassle.The internal GPS has to be turned on with the GPS button after which the iGPS icon appears. Here are some hints and tricks that are not in the manual.
- After the GPS searches for satellites, finds a few of them and gets a lock/fix the iGPS icon will start to blink.
Mostly on other hardware this is shown the opposite way and the icon starts to blink if a fix is needed. So keep in mind, blinking is good as it shows the internal GPS has a lock/fix.
- The internal GPS in the control head of the rig, placed in front of the hand brake, has a very good reception as it even keeps tracking inside my garage outfitted with only a small roof window. Its summer here so the car has no roof.
- Default smart-beaconing settings are good as they are.
- In the Netherlands digipeating is not allowed with a normal licence, you need an "unmanned station licence" to do digipeat on air so set all digipeat options to off.
- The rig shows GPS coordinates in minutes or degrees but also shows a very useful Maidenhead locator. After the GPS has a fix and the iGPS icon is blinking press the POS button and the Maidenhead locator is on the bottom line. Navigate trough the pages with the left and right arrow keys.
Other hints, tips and tricks
- If you leave the head in the sun the display will turn black. If it cools down it will turn normal again.
- Note that the problem with the ceramic filter in the 2nd IF stage that is present in older versions of this radio has been solved by Kenwood in this Kenwood TM-D710GE.
- The transmit frequency range of this radio can be expanded by removing resistor W601 as described here.
- There are two VFO's in this rig, one on the left and one on the right called A and B.
VFO A is unable to transmit or receive on 800 to 1300MHz.
VFO B is unable to transmit or receive on 118 to 136MHz.
This feature is important if you want to do APRS and air-band scanning at the same time. To use air-band and APRS simultaneously set B as the data band so that the APRS is on the B side.
If you want to do APRS and listen to the 23cm HAM band for a duplex use the A side as data band.
The range the radio can do on side/VFO A and side/VFO B is:A 118 MHz 118.000 MHz through 135.995 MHz AM+FM A 144 MHz 136.000 MHz through 199.995 MHz FM A 220 MHz 200.000 MHz through 299.995 MHz FM A 300 MHz 300.000 MHz through 399.995 MHz FM A 430 MHz 400.000 MHz through 523.995 MHz FM B 144 MHz 136.000 MHz through 199.995 MHz FM B 220 MHz 200.000 MHz through 299.995 MHz FM B 300 MHz 300.000 MHz through 399.995 MHz FM B 430 MHz 400.000 MHz through 523.995 MHz FM B 800 MHz 800.000 MHz through 1.299.995 MHz FM - In the summertime the GMT settings for the rig are +2:00 in the Netherlands.
In the wintertime the GMT settings for this rigs are +1:00 in the Netherlands. - To connect to the TNC you need to make a serial connection with the COM port on the head of the rig, not the pc port on the brick. It is the same cable as the PC port.
- Even though all brochures of this rig claim it can decode DTMF and can be remote controlled by DTMF it can not decode DTMF at all. On 08/31/18 Kenwood announced that radios with serial numbers B8610001 and up no longer feature DTMF decode capability. (The decoding chip is not in the rig anymore.) This means the TM-D710GE does NOT support remote control with DTMF via a HT or EchoLink functionality. The TM-D710GE is not able to remote control the TS-590S or TS-890S.
- The Kenwood TM-D710GE does NOT have any repeater function and does not do crossband repeat. (The TM-D710GA does.) However, this can be changed by placing a 0 Ohm resistor/jumper from PAD0 to PAD2 as shown in the picture below.
- The Kenwood TM-D710GE does NOT have weather channels or weather channel alert. (The TM-D710GA does.)
- The TM-D710GE has a TNC build inside that has a mail/message-box option. Other packet radio stations can connect to your TNC with packet radio and leave a message for you.
- The Tone function only works with transmit. Use CTCSS if you also want to use a Tone for receive. For simple repeaters Tone is good enough but on combined digital repeaters use CTCSS so you do not have to listen to the digital blerps.
- Send Email over the APRS network by pressing the "MSG" button then "NEW". set EMAIL in the TO field and start the message with the Email address, a space and then the message. (You can not send Email from PC to an APRS station.)
- Don't forget to check out if there are firmware updates that give extra fun. The latest panel firmware update increases the amount of rigs shown in the APRS list.

How to click on a DX call in a cluster and set your rig to the correct frequency in Ubuntu.
I have Hamradio Deluxe working under WINE on Ubuntu but realized I only used the DX-cluster. I found Xdx that has exactly the same functionality and works native on Ubuntu.
Xdx is a Linux DX-cluster client. It features the possibility to click on a DX entity in the cluster where Xdx automatically changes the frequency of your rig to the stations location on the band.
It is installable from the Ubuntu Software Center where it has the option to install the rig control software in one go.
or open a terminal and type: sudo apt-get install xdx
After starting the program you will have to set the URL and port of a DX-cluster server.
To get a list of DX-cluster servers check: http://www.ng3k.com/misc/cluster.html
or http://www.iw5edi.com/ham-radio/?dx-cluster-telnet-links,65
After connecting with the DX-cluster server there is a welcome text in the bottom part of your screen. It is called the terminal screen and you can send several useful commands to the server:
reject/spot 1 on hf/cw Do not show spots on HF with CW.
reject/spot 2 on vhf Do not show spots on VHF. (second rule)
accept/spot on hf/ssb Only show spots on HF in SSB.
show/bands Show what bands are available for filtering etc.
show/filter Show the filters that are set.
apropos buddy Show any help info on the buddy command
You can check who is connected to the server and chat with them.
who Show connected users. (To check if someone is DXing.)
talk callsign blah Send blah to a connected user with callsign.
Just like in a packet BBS you can list, read and send messages worldwide to all servers in the cluster.
directory Show a list of public messages. (Like in a BBS.)
read 25 Read a message with number 25 in the directory list.
Go to Setting > preferences.
Check out the number of your rig with rigctl. Type in terminal: rigctl -l

I have set the speed of My Kenwood TS-590S USB connection to 19200. In my computer it turns up at USB0. So the following settings apply for me:
Note that I have a Kenwood TS-590S (#231) but instead I used the Kenwood TS-570D (#204) because that one works very good.
