8.4.4 Disabling AF Gain Control from ARCP-590

ARHP-590 has a capability to disable the AF gain control from the ARCP-590. While AF gain is controlled from ARCP-590, the audio volume of the TS-590S may be adjusted in an unexpected way. Therefore, we have added a function to disable this control.

Caution:

For USB audio, time delay is unavoidable due to its operating principle. Therefore, USB audio cannot be used for a latency- critical application (e.g. operations in a contest or pileup where a quick response is essential).

During the operation with KNS over a network connection, ARUA-10 is not required.
