Hello all,

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. http://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/895

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

Take a look at kenwood_live.py. You can probably extend that to support the TS-590 with very little effort. I suspect the same protocol is used. You will probably just need to decode the fields (I think kenwood_live calls it mem_spec).
