In addition to the ARCP-590 program, the ARHP-590
program can also be downloaded from the above
site. This ARHP-590 program is an ARCP-590 host
program that allows a user who is connected in the
network to remotely control the TS-590S transceiver
from a distant location. If you make interface
cables that transfer the audio between the TS-590S
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-590 program and consult the accompanied
documents.
Note: The ARHP-590 does not support voice communication.
In order to use voice communications, you must also use
universal VoIP software.

The optional VGS-1 unit allows you to record 30
second (maximum) voice messages to memory
channels 1 and 2, and 15 second (maximum) voice
messages to memory channels 3 and 4. 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 constantly store the incoming audio signals in the
background. If you wish, you can store the last 30
seconds 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 71}.

output from the transceiver speaker).
