10．PC Connection and Setting

10-1 Connection with ＰＣ

Use mini USB connector on the rear panel of KL-1 to connect with PC.

①

If you use KL-1 without logging software, turn the SW on the rear panel to [RIG] side

before turning KL-1 power on.

②

If you use KL-1 with logging software, turn the SW on the rear panel to [USB] before

turning KL-1 power on so that the logging software can communicate your

transceiver and KL-1.

In this case your transceiver cannot send band data to KL-1 without logging

software is running.

You need to setup KL-1 itself to use with PC.

You can connect PC with the radio that has USB connector like TS-590.
