Question Answer
Q
1
I want to deactivate transmission when operating the host PC with the KNS. Can I do that? It is possible. The user must disable the transmission in menu.
Q
2
(For use in Japan)
I will not be able to arrive at the transmission location within 3 hours if an accident such as not resuming remittance occurs.
The user cannot use the KNS if he/she cannot arrive at the location making transmission within 3 hours.
Q
3
Is it possible to disable transmission after making transmission for a certain time? By setting the TOT to the desired duration, the user can disable transmission after making a transmission.
However, this timer only counts transmission time, so that the transceiver may enter reception mode during a normal transmission for a longer time.
Q
4
Does the KNS have a log function? The ARHP (application of a host PC located at transmission party) has the log function. Refer to the ARHP help manual for details.
Q
5
Does the KNS support digital communications (PSK31, SSTV, RTTY)? Delays of signal transfer likely occur since they are sent via network. The delay time lengthens when using the KNS via the WAN so that the KNS cannot support various digital communications and the operation requiring quick response. We recommend the user not to use the KNS if he/she does not satisfy the sound quality of the KNS.
Q
6
How can I make the CW keying? The user can make keying on the keying window of the ARCP. The user can enter most of codes except for some special symbols. However, it does not support the Japanese CW.
Q
7
Does the KNS support the full break-in function or quick break-in function? The KNS does not support the full break-in function since delays caused by network occur. We do not recommend the user to use the KNS for operation in which the timing for transmission and reception is essential, such as contest and operation when pile-up occurs, since the delay time likely become a big problem. The user must set a certain period of time for break-in time.
Q
8
Can I save the memory channel data to a file? The user can save a memory channel data to a file. The user can also save menu, slow scan frequency, auto mode frequency, CW transmission log, and designed filter data.
We are not going to develop MCP memory management program.
Q
9
I want to make an audio interface cable with the MIC terminal and EXT-SP. Refer to the instruction manual for the information about MIC terminal. Prepare the cable by referring to the instruction manual.
