Limitations - Kenwood TS-890S Setting Manual

6. Limitations

● In remote operation via the network, in principle, delays (during analog/digital
conversions) and data loss (which is greatly dependent on traffic) are unavoidable.
Therefore it may not be able to perform smooth operation compared with normal radio
operation. Specifically, there are the following phenomena.
Audio may break up.

Standby time may be delayed (in particular, it is not suitable for contests or quick

operations such as pile-ups).
Audio may differ from the actual transceiver audio

Digital mode communications such as image communications with SSTV and AFSK,

PSK-31, etc., may be disabled.
etc.
● Broadband is recommended for the internet line used. As a benchmark, use a minimum
of 1 Mbps. The speed of analog modems that use telephone lines will greatly reduce
sound quality, and may destabilize control, and so cannot be used.
● CW operations are possible, but keying using normal telegraph key is not possible.
Strings entered using the keyboard are collated for transmit operations.
● If the USB audio function is used for the audio communication between PC and
TS-890S, in principle, delays occur in audio transmission. Moreover, it may cause
sound break depending on PC performance and operating environment etc.
* Depending on the combination of PC and sound functions, normal operations may be
disabled. JVC KENWOOD does not offer support for customer PCs.
