8.5.1 Basic Functions

If ARUA-10 and ARCP-590 are used in combination, you have only to connect the TS-590S and a PC with a single USB cable to use the microphone and speaker connected to the PC in place of those on the transceiver. To use ARCP-590 over a USB cable connection, the virtual COM port driver needs to be installed.

If you use only ARUA-10 over a USB cable connection, the virtual port driver doesn’t need to be installed. If you use the built-in USB sound function of the TS-590S only, the function runs on the Window’s standard driver.

8.5.2 Operation

ARUA-10 bridges the TS-590S’s built-in USB sound function (USB audio device) and the sound device that controls the microphone and speaker on the PC.

A voice signal from the microphone connected to the PC is input into the modulation input of the TS-590S’s USB audio device. The audio output of the TS-590S’s USB audio device is emitted from the PC’s speaker.
