5.11Expansion of Voice Guide Function (Optional VGS-1 Required)

The optional VGS-1 voice guide and storage unit can be installed on the transceiver. The voice guide and audio recording function that are acclaimed by sight-impaired operators become available. The following are the details of the VGS-1 and new functions added for the current version.

Voice Guide Function

On the TS-590S, in addition to the conventional audio announcements, the readings of the multimeter (SWR meter, ALC meter and COMP meter) can be also announced.

Also, by setting the auto announcement to be disabled in the menu mode, the announcements can be made only when the VOICE key (that is to be assigned to the PF key) is pressed.

Voice Storage Function

A maximum of 4 channels can be used for storing voice for transmission. This is a very convenient option for an operator who participates in a contest in SSB mode. (The CW message memory function is available on the transceiver and does not require VGS-1.)

Channel 4 of the voice recording channels for transmission can be assigned for recording a received voice signal. Anytime upon a press of the [REC] key, you can store the voice signal received over the past 30 seconds in flash memory and replay the voice as required.
