13 OPERATOR CONVENIENCES CONTROLLING THE TS-480 FROM PC If a PC and the TS-480HX/ SAT are connected using a serial cable {page 76}, you can remotely control the functions of the TS-480 from a PC. Download the free ARCP-480 software from the following URL. http://www.kenwood.com/i/products/info/amateur/ software_download.html The detailed remote controlling instructions are available in accompanied documents and help file. REMOTE CONTROLLING THE TS-480 ON THE NETWORK In addition to the ARCP-480 program, the ARHP-10 program can also be downloaded from the above site. This ARHP-10 program is a ARCP-480 host program that allows a user who is connected in the network to remote control the TS-480 transceiver from a distant location. If you make interface cables that transfer the audio between the TS-480 transceiver and PC on the host transceiver, you can receive signals and transmit your voice over the network. For detailed information, download the ARHP-10 program and consult accompanied documents. VGS-1 VOICE GUIDE & STORAGE UNIT (OPTIONAL) The optional VGS-1 unit allows you to record a maximum of 30-second voice message to 3 different memory channels. 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 store the incoming audio signals constantly in the background. If you wish, you can store the last 30-second 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 81}.
