Depending on how you connect your transceiver 
to a PC, you will need to set a data transmission 
line type.  Access Menu No. 69 and select “ACC2” 
(default) or “USB”.

■

 

You can set the input and output audio levels of 
an ACC2 connection via Menu Nos. 73 and 74, 
and the input and output audio levels of a USB 
connection via Menu Nos. 71 and 72.  Each setting 
has a range of 0 to 9, with a default setting of 4.

 

Additionally, you can mix beep tones, the sidetone, 
and the Voice guide for an ACC2/USB audio output 
by accessing Menu No. 75 and selecting “on” 
(whereby the PC will confi rm the sounds being 
output from the transceiver speaker).

In Data mode, you can select to use the microphone 
or the data communication input signal from the ACC2 
connector or USB connector as the input signal that 
will be transmitted by operating the front panel SEND 
key, microphone PTT (SS) , pin 13 (SS) of the ACC2 
connector, or pin 3 (SS) of the REMOTE connector.

Normal PC commands (ARCP, ARHP, or SKY 
COMMAND SYSTEM II) will not work when this 
function is turned ON.

•  When operating the TS-590SG as a base station, 

using VoIP or similar software, set Menu No. 84 to 
“SQL”.

 

At the same time, if you are using CTCSS, set 
Menu No. 82 to “2” and confi rm that the frequency 
is not already in use and is not causing any 
interference.

•  When turning the power OFF and the VoIP 

software misdetects a busy signal, set Menu No. 
83 to “OPEN”.   

•  When not using the USB terminal, besides a serial 

cable, create and connect a sound input/output 
cable.  In this case when connecting to sound 
equipment and the audio output level is too high, 
change the level setting in Menu No. 73.

If a PC and the TS-590SG are connected using a 
serial cable {page 71}, you can remotely control the 
functions of the TS-590SG  from a PC.  Download the 
free ARCP-590G software from the following URL:

The detailed remote controlling instructions are 
available in accompanied documents and help fi le. 

In addition to the ARCP-590G program, the ARHP-
590G program can also be downloaded from 
the above site.  This ARHP-590G program is an 
ARCP-590G host program that allows a user who 
is connected in the network to remotely control the 
TS-590SG transceiver from a distant location.  If you 
make interface cables that transfer the audio between 
the TS-590SG transceiver and the PC on the host 
transceiver, you can receive signals and transmit 
your voice over the network.  For detailed information, 
download the ARHP-590G program and consult the 
accompanied documents.

Note:  The ARHP-590G does not support voice communication.  
In order to use voice communications, you must also use 
universal VoIP software.
