Configuration, Webswitch 1216H / Re: wifi module for AS1289 ?

« on: 2019-06-14, 13:16:30 »

Thanks Mike.
The TP-Link Model TL-WR702N Nano Router operates as a WIFI client. I tested it and have it functioning with the the AS1289 and now have wireless connectivity from the AS1289 to my router. The specifics are TP-LinkModel TL-WR702N, Firmware 4.18.114 build 130314. I don't know if later builds work. I did read one note that said build 130318 does not work.

I also looked at the information for the TP-Link AC750 Wireless Portable Nano Router (Amazon $34 same form factor as the WR702N) and it also has a wifi client mode that should also do the trick. I have confirmation from a user that it works.

Configuration, Webswitch 1216H / wifi module for AS1289 ?

Can the AS1289 use the same wifi module as the RC1258. Is there a header in the AS1289 for wifi and is there info for installing wifi in the AS1289.

Configuration, RRC 1258 / Re: TS480sat SSB bad audio reports

« on: 2019-06-04, 13:31:50 »

Still get reports of "restricted audio", audio lacks lower frequencies.
Looking at the "radio settings" for RRC (control) unit there is a adjustment for "audio quality". What does this setting do?

Is there any documentation that explains what the "audio quality" settings affect?
Is there documentation explaining what the other settings in the "radio settings" menu do?


I am using the Kenwood TS480 with oem hand mic and remote rig RRC-1258 MKII.

Thanks,

Looks like I solved the problem I was having with "bad audio" reports. I took the MC60 off and reverted to the the fist mike that came with the TS480. I turned off the TS480 TX audio equalizer which I was trying to use to boost the lower end voice frequencies.
 
The fix for voice operation was to turn on "CODEC inp preamp"(default) and the "CODEC in GAIN" to 13 (default) and use the fist Mic.  I now get ALC action with the MIC Drive level in the TS480 to 40 to 50 %. With the "CODEC inp preamp" set to "NO" it took 85 to 90 % Mic drive in the TS480 to get any ALC action.

I had "CODEC inp preamp" turned to "NO" because of RFI reports during early testing of my system and forgot that it was off. The default values work for the TS480 on SSB.

After making the fixes above I was able to work EA3JE on 75 meters SSB last evening and even got through during a small pile up.

I was close talking the mc60 with mike pre amp on. I am now using the fist mike and all of the settings are default. I turned the TX equalizer off in the TS480. I dont have the VGS-1 in this radio but may get one. I will check into one of the nets and get a audio report using the fist mike.
One thing i notice is with the fist mike I have to have the mic gain set to about 80% to get any alc deflection. What do have set for MIC gain on your setup?

Configuration, RRC 1258 / TS480sat SSB bad audio reports

« on: 2019-05-24, 22:35:43 »

I have my TS480 setup and running with the RRC 1258 MII (radio unit) set up at my daughters house about 35 miles from my qth. I am using the Kenwood MC60 desk mic I have had several reports that the transmitted audio is mostly the high frequencies of the voice spectrum and not any of the low frequencies present. I am told that at the receiving station it is very difficult to understand me because of missing low frequencies.
Unfortunately, using a second receiver,  I cant hear my signal from the remote TS480 transmitter on ground wave to try and adjust the settings.

Does someone have a TS480 operating with voice audio they have been told that is not objectionable and can you share your settings with me? I am thinking of  the settings in TS480; xmit band width, equalizer settings etc.  and what settings do have for the RRC 1258 MII for the control unit and radio unit. Having those settings will at least give me a place to start.

Thanks,
