4. Reading and writing files

With ARCP-480 you can write memory channel and menu data to a file for later recall. This does not apply in certain cases when using KNS.

●Compatibility with KNS (Kenwood Network Command System)

KNS is the name for the system that enables remote control of the transceiver over a LAN or WAN; ARCP-480 is equipped with the remote functions for this system. To use KNS, you need to have at least 2 computers, the remote one having ARCP installed and the host computer having ARHP installed.

The basic arrangement is to connect the TS-480 to a host computer, which is on a LAN, and to install ARHP-10 on this computer. ARCP-480 is then installed on the remote computer.
