General discussion / "Only Listening Supported" with dongle plugged in

« on: 2016-02-11, 03:58:45 »

Hello,

I recently received the RRC Micro 1274B and installed the software according to the Remoterig web site.  It is working fine for RX and for keyboard CW, but I am unable to PTT and the software is telling me "Only listening supported".  The Debug log states "Soundcard 1274A not found.  PTT not possible!".  If I understand correctly, the 1274B doesn't come with an integrated sound card.  The "connected devices" page shows the 1274B as being connected.

The dongle is plugged in while attempting to troubleshoot.

I've tried this on two PCs, a WIN7 and WIN10 machine with the same results.

I have the K3/0 and Android app and both work normally with my remoted K3.

I've reached the end of my troubleshooting ability and suspect it's something dumb I am overlooking.   Any ideas?  Also, I was curious if there has been any recent movement toward integrating paddle CW with the RRC Micro.  Is this what the AUX jack would be used for?  What is the AUX jack used for now?

Thanks,

Configuration, RRC 1258 / Missing COMFSK?

« on: 2015-01-28, 01:43:49 »

I have been using my remote setup for over a month now, and it works well on CW and SSB (K3/0, Remoterig boxes, connected to a K3 on the remote side).  The RR boxes and cables were all purchased from Elecraft.  I am now trying to get RTTY functional, but have been unsuccessful.

The manual refers to a virtual COMFSK port, however I am only seeing a COMExtra, in addition to the three other RRC1258 virtual ports (COM0, COM1, and COM2).  When I set up MMTTY to use COMExtra for FSK, I can key the transmitter but only get a solid tone.  I have set up MMTTY with other recommended remote settings I found through Google searches.  I suspect the problem is something simple, however I have exhausted my troubleshooting abilities with the Remoterig manual and the almost useless K3/0 manual.

I have the control RRC box connected to my computer both with the USB cable and the DB9 COM1 port which I use for CAT.  The remote K3 is connected to the RR box using the cable set offered by Elecraft, as well as to a remote computer via CAT through the remote RR box.

If anyone has any ideas, I appreciate the help!
