Manual

The following information is from the TS-570S manual.

Serial Port

There is an RS-232 serial port on the back of the radio, pictured below:

The radio's manual gives the pinout for this port, and some information on how to communicate with the radio using the serial connection:

Here is a table with information about which pins go where, and the function of each pin. There are basically five pins used:

  • Two pins are TX/RX pins for transferring data between the computer and the radio.
  • Two pins are on/off switches for the TX/RX functionality (i.e., these have to be supplied with voltage for the radio and the computer to be able to transmit signals back and forth).
  • One pin is a ground pin.
