    Audio transmission Transceiver TS-590S The TS-590S transceiver is supported. The ARCP-590 and ARHP-590 are specialized for the TS-590S, thus other transceivers cannot be used to configure the system. Connection Controls that change the frequency or mode are performed by connecting the transceiver and PC using RS-232C either a USB cable or RS-232C cable.

    (2) Connect the PC and TS-590S using the USB cable. ●When connecting using an RS-232 cable Connect the PC and TS-590S using the RS-232C straight cable (9 pin to 9 pin). 4.2. Connecting an Audio Cable To transmit and receive audio, an audio cable is required. Create an audio cable using the 13-pin DIN plug enclosed with the TS-590S with reference to the following diagram.
  • Page 12 Fig. 4.2.2: Connecting audio cables Reference: If the TS-590S is connected to the PC using a USB cable, audio transmission input and output are possible using the USB audio function, but the many signal conversions cause inherently unavoidable delays. Furthermore, during KNS operations, network delays will occur.

    Set the menu described above to USB to transmit USB audio signals input to the USB connector. Set a playback device and recording device to the device connected to the TS-590S as a default using the Windows sound settings of the host station.
  • Page 14 Adjust the Windows sound function volume as necessary. ● Mixed beep setting to external audio outputs With the TS-590S default mode, only received audio signals that do not include beeps or side tones are output from the ACC2 connector as audio signals and the USB connector as USB audio signals.
  • Page 15 ● Timeout timer settings During KNS operations, control data signals are transmitted using the network. Consequently, if normal network operations are disabled for any reason, control of the transceiver will also be disabled. Use the following menu to set the functions to stop transmitting automatically after a fixed period if control should be disabled while transmitting.
