General discussion forum / K3 twin with RRC issues
« on: 2019-10-11, 18:57:15 »
Well i've been struggling to get a K3 twin setup running in the shack.
Here are the odd things:
- i am only able to get a k3twin working if the control side has the USB plugged into the RRC, i've have a 12v/4amp power adapter for it, but no USB plugged in means K3 switches off at radio side
- i am unable to get any cat data to com1, tried all possible serial choices (mode 6-7-11) but no cat data on the radio siden no cat data on control end

I tried cross, straight connection via breakout box, just in case cabling was wrong, still no result
Its an old RRC set , MkII though, but i'm starting to think the issue is in the RRC itself (the usb cable thing is weird)

Anyone experienced this.?

Is the current webswitch limited to reading data from the HF bands or will it correctly reed the CIV info from a IC9100 for 2m 70cm and 23cm?

General discussion forum / Yaesu twin feature request
« on: 2011-03-20, 19:37:40 »
Have the yaesu twin running on a side by side ft5000 setup.
I wonder if there is interest in having logging software control integrated into the rrc
Only way to do it now it to use a Y splitter on the com2.

If com2 would be copying the com 1 data, one could easily have logging soft on com1, the rcc link ft-ft on com2, and on the other rrc use the com1 to controle an amplifier or bandswitch or steppir.

Anyone having same request?

General discussion forum / Icom radio remote switch on
« on: 2010-12-22, 15:34:11 »
A while ago someone told me the ICOM rigs do not support remote switch on via CIV
In the command set I found:

$18    $00   Turn receiver power OFF    When RX is already off, answer is still "Ok" from rig.
IC-R75: doc error (On/Off reversed)
IC-R8500: Power off, Activating sleep mode

        $01  Turn receiver power ON    When RX is already ON, sending this command returns an error. Disappointing, but understandable.

So the code is supporting it. Has anyone tried this with HRD or other control soft for the icom radios?

General discussion forum / Expert 1K problem
« on: 2010-10-01, 19:40:19 »
A weird one: If the expert is ON (back power switch and frontpanel switch also, communication is perfect.
When I swich expert off, I'm unable to switch it back on using the software. Just as if there is significant delay somewhere and soft quits.
Any thoughts?

General discussion forum / More COM ports
« on: 2010-09-29, 08:16:41 »
For those looking to have some extra ethernet managed com ports,
 I need some extra COM and USB ports remotely handled:

- radio (serial)
- amp (serial)
- rotator 1 (serial)
- rotator 2 (serial)
- monstir (steppir) (serial)
- USB camera (usb)

I've found sofar:

Opengear CM4001-EU (2serials)
Lantronix Ubox 2100 2 port USB Device Server
silex SX1000 U USB Device Server
Advantech EKI-1522-AE 2 port RS-232/422/485
Advantech EKI-1524-AE, 4-port RS-232/422/485
OpenGear SD4002 Secure Dev Serv2port (RS232+232/422/485)
Moxa Nport 5210 2port RS232 Serial Device Server w/RJ45 Ports
Moxa Nport 5410 4port RS232 Serial Device Server w/DB9M Ports

Not all servers will work under xp/vista so you have to check.

I'd like to get feedback of people running one of the above.

I ordered Lantronix Ubox 4100 4 port USB Device Server

General discussion forum / IC7800 CIV on TTL input
« on: 2010-09-08, 11:08:51 »
I'm trying to get the IC7800 as 3th rig to work with RRC. On the remote side I have the CI V via TTL connector but on the other side i have to use com2. Is there an easy way to keep the 2 com's free for rotator and amp and use TTL for the CI V on both ends? What setting should I choose in RRC when putting radio type in?
