CONTROLLING THE TS-480 FROM PC
If a PC and the TS-480HX/ SAT are connected using
a serial cable {page 76}, you can remotely control the
functions of the TS-480 from a PC. Download the
free ARCP-480 software from the following URL.
http://www.kenwood.com/i/products/info/amateur.html
The detailed remote controlling instructions are
available in accompanied documents and help file.
REMOTE CONTROLLING THE TS-480 ON THE
NETWORK
In addition to the ARCP-480 program, the ARHP-10
program can also be downloaded from the above
site. This ARHP-10 program is a ARCP-480 host
program that allows a user who is connected in the
network to remote control the TS-480 transceiver
from a distant location. If you make interface cables
that transfer the audio between the TS-480
transceiver and PC on the host transceiver, you can
receive signals and transmit your voice over the
network. For detailed information, download the
ARHP-10 program and consult accompanied
documents.
VGS-1 VOICE GUIDE & STORAGE UNIT
(OPTIONAL)
The optional VGS-1 unit allows you to record a
maximum of 30-second voice message to 3 different
memory channels. After recording a message via
your transceiver microphone, you can then transmit
those recorded messages. It also announces the key
function and frequencies each time you press a key
(Voice announcement). Since the incoming reception
signal is processed in digital data in the transceiver,
the VGS-1 can be configured to store the incoming
audio signals constantly in the background. If you
wish, you can store the last 30-second of the
incoming signal to the VGS-1 for the later playback
(Constant recording).
For information on how to install the VGS-1 unit, refer
to “INSTALLING OPTIONS” {page 81}.
