General discussion forum / RRC1258 MkII with IC-E2820 - Microphone Question

« on: 2016-05-13, 10:21:00 »

Hi,

I am moving finally into a house but in the meantime I will have no antennas on my old flat so I want to make a step between the final moving and place the Antenna to my remote QTH and use FM Transceiver from there.

I have already my IC-7200 working there via the RRC1258 and I am thinking to use these boxes for a short time for my IC-E2820. This should be used just for few weeks - so not a big investment.
Now my question:
In the manual is written:

Be aware of that the original microphone can not be used without the HM-133 adapter boards. If you do not have them use a simple ICOM microphone like HM-103 or HM-95.

What function is involved in this "does not work"? All functions like basic PTT and Audio or just the additional keys on the HM-133?
I do not want to buy the adapter just for a few weeks operation - can't I use the HM-133 just as a classical mic?

Please help!

Thanks

General discussion / How can I test RRC Micro PC Client again?

« on: 2015-10-30, 12:38:14 »

Hi,

it looks like I tested and installed the RRC Micro PC Client already a while ago, but I never really used it because I have a RRC-1258MKII standing here and I am using mainly the RS-BA1 Remote Control Software from Icom to controll my Transceiver.
But now I have the feeling the RS-BA1 is a little too slow - the update of the screen regarding the Signal strength and so on is delayed. when I am using the RS-BA1 to connect to the remote station (have a PC placed there which is connected via USB to the IC-7200 to control the transceiver too) its responding like a charme. BUT: I cannot CW remotely with the Icom Software. AND: I cannot use the remote control and the Logbook at the same time. Therefore I wanna use the RRC but I need another control software which is a little more responsive.

Therefore I wanted to test again the Micro PC Client - but after install it tells me the trial has expired. How can I test it one more time?

Please help!

General discussion forum / Power Out strange behaviour

« on: 2015-09-03, 23:16:26 »

Hi all,

I'm running a pair of RRC-1258MKii with my IC-7200 on the remote location quite a while and I'm overall quite happy.
Only problem is - If I operate in classical SSB Mode I realize my power is not getting out.

I did a short video to explain what I'm talking about.
My settings on the RRC are mostly standard for ICOM so nothing special.

Perhaps someone can help.

Thanks

General discussion forum / Can someone please post the default settings of the Radio Side RRC-1258MkII?

« on: 2015-05-25, 14:21:01 »

Hi,

I'm fighting with my settings of my setup (IC-7200 connected to the Radio Side RRC, transparent internet connection to a standard Windows PC and RRC-1258MkII connected with USB and serial with another stable highspeed internet connection)

I stupidly didn't backup my configs before I started to change settings (espescially the IO Settings) so I cannot get to a point I were already.

Can someone please be so kind and post the radio side configuration?
Radio Settings
Serial Settings
and IO Settings

Thanks
