The following FLDIGI settings worked on my system:

RIG

• HARDWARE PTT: Check the “PTT tone on right audio channel”.
• RigCAT: Check the “Use RigCAT” box.
  • Rig description file: TS-590S.xml
  • Device: /dev/ttyUSB0
  • Baud rate: 115200
  • Stopbits: 1
  • Check TRS/CTS flow control
  • Check CAT command for PTT
  • Check DTR +12 v
  • “Initialize” if changes are made.

AUDIO – DEVICES:

Verify the following:

• Check PortAudio
• Select USB Audio CODEC for “Capture”
• Select USB Audio CODEC for “Playback”

AUDIO – RIGHT CHANNEL:

Verify the following:

• Check “Reverse Left/Right audio channels”
