VFO skips
Posted: Tue May 01, 2018 6:15 pm
Hello everyone,
Just curious if anyone has experienced the VFO skipping on a Kenwood 590sg while connected to a SDR? Here is my setup.
Kenwood TS-590sg
SDRplay RS1A
iMac using CubicSDR
I've noticed that when my TS-590sg is connected to the computer, the VFO tuning isn't right. When physically turning the VFO knob (the knob is fine) on the Kenwood TS-590sg, the VFO isn't smooth and skips/hesitates. I can see this on the 590sg radio display. The knob/VFO is smooth and normal when disconnected from the SDR. This doesn't occur when connected to the computer through the COM port either, just seems like usb. I have the baud rate set at 57600. This issue has been hard to track down because it could be an issue with SDR play, the silicon valley labs driver, or a CubicSDR issue. I just don't know.
Thanks,
Will
