I bought a TS-590s on Wednesday, my first HF radio! I've experimented with the serial command interface and a visual basic spreadsheet which loads and stores memories so I'm fairly comfortable with its interface. I don't know Python but am quite familiar with Perl and solid in Java and C so I'm not too worried about picking it up.

I created a ticket to track the progress.

Please let me know of any conventions or testing practices I should take note of. 

Thanks,

Derek
