    4. Settings 4.1. Connecting a Communications Cable Connect the host station PC and TS-990S using a USB cable or RS-232C cable. There is also a way to connect both the transceiver and PC to the home LAN. This method makes high-speed data communication with the transceiver via USB or RS-232C cable.
  • Page 13 Connect the PC sound functions and audio cable with reference to the following diagram. Reference: If the TS-990S is connected to the PC using a USB cable, audio transmission input and output are possible using the USB audio function, but the many signal conversions cause inherently unavoidable delays. Furthermore, during KNS operations, network delays will occur.

  • Page 14: Transceiver Settings

    Input is also possible using USB audio functions from a USB connector, but as the delays are great, this is not recommended. On the Modulation Source screen of the TS-990S, set "ACC2" to ON, to be transmitted when "DATA SEND (PF)" is operated, to transmit audio input from the ACC2 connector.
  • Page 15 ● Mixed beep setting to external audio outputs With the TS-990S default mode, the received audio signals that include beeps or side tones are output from the ACC2 connector as audio signals and the USB connector as USB audio signals.

    4.4. Setting Transmission Methods for Audio Input from the ACC2 Connector The PTT of the microphone connected to the TS-990S, and the [SEND] key on the TS-990S control panel, are the methods for transmitting audio input from the microphone connected to the TS-990S. When TXing by these methods, audio input as audio signals from the ACC2 connector cannot be transmitted.

    Strings entered using the keyboard are collated for transmit operations. 5.4. Limitations if Using USB Audio Functions If the PC and TS-990S are connected via a USB cable, audio transmissions can be transmitted using the USB audio function. However, in principle, there is a delay with USB audio, so sound may be lost depending on the PC performance and load status.
