Depending on how you connect your transceiver to a PC, you will need to set a data transmission line type. Access Menu No. 63 and select “ACC2” (default) or “USB”.

Q $XGLR/HYHO6HWWLQJV

You can set the input and output audio levels of an ACC2 connection via Menu Nos. 66 and 67, and the input and output audio levels of a USB connection via Menu Nos. 64 and 65. 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. 68 and selecting “on” (whereby the PC will confirm the sounds being output from the transceiver speaker).

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

•When operating the TS-590S as a base station, using VoIP or similar software, set Menu No. 77 to “SQL”.

At the same time, if you are using CTCSS, set Menu No 75 to “2” and confirm that the frequency is not already in use and is not causing any interference.

software misdetects a busy signal, set Menu No. 76 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. 66.

•After changing this setting via the menu, turn the power OFF and then back ON to implement the change.

If a PC and the TS-590S are connected using a serial cable {page 67}, you can remotely control the functions of the TS-590S from a PC. Download the free ARCP-590 software from the following URL:

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}.
