INSTALLING AND CONNECTING THE TRANSCEIVER 1
Index Contents
CONNECTION TO A PC
The transceiver can be connected to a PC using a USB cable or an RS-232C straight-through cable.
Note:
◆ Turn the transceiver and your PC OFF prior to connecting your PC to the transceiver using the cable.
◆ Use the commercial available USB cable or RS-232C straight-through (not “crossed”) cable.
◆ In principle, using the USB audio results in a delay. Additionally, audio interruptions may occur depending on the characteristics of your PC and
the status of the load. Use USB audio for communications where time lag is inconsequential or for recording received audio in the PC.
◆ To control the transceiver via the USB connector using a PC, you need to install the virtual COM port driver onto the PC.
◆ To use the USB audio, the driver available in your PC as standard will be used. You can down load the ARUA-10 USB Audio Controller from the
KENWOOD web site.
