Ratings and Reviews
Wonderful application for the TS-890
TS-Control is a great app for controlling your TS-890 radio. I love the ability to see the waterfall on a bigger screen, and especially with DX/SOTA/POTA or RBN spots superimposed on it. It gives a great instant view of who is on the band.
I am mainly a CW operator so haven't used the builtin FT8 or RTTY tools other than a quick check to see them working. But I have been using the CW tool together with a FTDI USB serial chip to connect my CW paddle to my laptop. Keying the radio via my laptop this way works very well and I look forward to remotely connecting to my TS-890 when way from home.
This isn't a cheap application, but there's a lot of work to create such a reliable, comprehensive remote control application and Marcus provides excellent support. I found a CW keying bug which Marcus fixed very quickly. I recommend this app if you have a TS-890, it's fantastic to have such a good native MacOS application for this radio. 73 de Jon G4IVV.
