ARUA‑10 (USB Audio Controller) (Free Software Application)
The ARUA-10, a software application for the USB audio control to substitute a microphone and speaker connected to a
PC for a microphone and speaker of the TS-890S when the TS-890S is connected to the PC by using a USB cable, has
been released.
The ARUA-10 is a free software application and can be downloaded free of charge from the KENWOOD website.
Refer also to "TS-890S USB Audio Setting Manual" distributed on the KENWOOD website.
Caution:
◆ For USB audio, a time delay is unavoidable due to its operating principle. Thus, it cannot be used in a case when the delay
may cause a problem in operation (for example, when quick responses are required in a contest or pileup)
◆ If a KNS operation is done with a network connection, no ARUA-10 is used.

Basic Functions

When using the combination of the ARUA-10 and the ARCP-890, by simply connecting the TS-890S and a PC with a
single USB cable, the transceiver can be controlled from the PC and a microphone and speaker connected to the PC
can be substituted for the microphone and speaker of the TS-890S.
To use the ARCP-890 with a USB cable connection, the virtual COM port driver needs to be installed.
To use only the ARUA-10 with a USB cable connection, a virtual COM port driver does not need to be installed. To use
the USB sound function implemented in the TS-890S, TS-890S functions with the Windows sound drive.

Behavior

The ARUA-10 serves as a bridge between the USB sound function (USB audio device) built into the TS-890S and the
sound device on a PC for the microphone and speaker control.
An audio signal input into the microphone of the PC is input to the modulation input of the USB audio device in the
TS-890S.
The audio signal output from the RX output of the USB audio device in the TS-890S is output to the speaker of the PC.
