Operate your Kenwood TS-590SG remotely
RemoteMyShack puts your Kenwood TS-590SG in your browser: operate it from your phone, tablet or laptop at yourcall.remotemyshack.com, with two-way audio and the controls you use at the shack. A small agent on a computer next to the radio connects to it by USB; there's no VPN or port forwarding to set up.
Beta: support for Kenwood radios is built from the maker's documentation, but we haven't run it against one yet. Tell us how it goes.

Control and audio over its USB port.
What you can do from the console
- Tune, change band, mode, filter and DATA mode, and read the S-meter from your phone or laptop.
- Hear the radio, with two-way audio on transceivers: hold to talk, with automatic unkey if your connection drops.
- Adjust RF gain, preamp, attenuator, AGC, noise blanker and noise reduction where the radio has them; the radio's own speaker is turned down while the agent is connected. On a FlexRadio the RF gain slider sets SmartSDR's AGC threshold; on a Hermes Lite 2 it sets the receive gain (LNA).
- Send CW from the console with the radio's keyer (the agent keys a Hermes Lite 2 itself), and RTTY as audio.
- Every transmission is recorded in your transmit log.
Setting it up
Install the agent on a Mac, Windows or Linux computer, or a Raspberry Pi, next to the radio, link it to your account, and open yourcall.remotemyshack.com. These articles walk you through it:
