USB Keying

The TS-890S supports PC applications which control each behavior for CW keying, RTTY frequency shift, and PTT/
SEND (switching of transmitting and receiving) by using the RTS/DTR signal of the COM port. Each behavior can be
assigned to the RTS signal and DTR signal of the 2 virtual COM ports (Standard and Enhanced) which can be used
when the TS-890S is connected to a PC by using a USB cable.
