Hardware, Cabling, Installations / Yaesu 857D digital modes connection - cabling?

« on: 2018-02-17, 21:02:39 »

Hi,

I have a working RRC setup with Yaesu 857D(detached panel) in mode 15. I also managed to connect and transfer CAT interface between units through COM2 with CT-62.

Now I want to setup RRC's to be able to work in BPSK and RTTY modes using PC on RRC Control side.

Please advise me, how should I connect DATA port of 857D to RRC Radio, what should I do on Control RRC, and how to configure both units?

 Thanks!

Hardware, Cabling, Installations / RRC Radio unit reboots randomly with FT-857 setup

« on: 2018-01-09, 16:45:58 »

Hello,

I have a problem with RRC-1258 MkII v7 and Yaesu FT-857.

RRC Radio unit is connected to separate power supply(as recommended by manual in case of FT-857). Wiring inside RRC units was done by PCB(not wires), and was assembled on Microbit factory.
Cabling between transceiver and Radio unit and panel and RRC Control unit is made by Microbit wires from Yaesu 857-kit(Yellow to unit).

All was setup according to manual and all is OK - Raido powers up while pressing PWR button on control panel, control panel and SIP is working, I am able to make a QSO with no issues.
The trouble is that RRC unit at Radio side reboots(PWR led blinks once, 2-3 ping packets lost, and Uptime of Radio unit become 0m 0s) randomly with no reason.
When it happens, panel on the Control side freezes, and to restart it - i have to push PWR button again to power off and power on the transceiver again.
There are no sequence or dependancy on this reboots - it can happen while working on TX or on RX in any mode, it can happen 2 times in a minute or 1 time in an hour.
RRC Control remains fine - no reboots at all.

To debug the issue I have double checked all settings, tried 2 differend power supplies and even tried to power Radio unit from battery - no changes - still rebooting randomly.
I also tried to place RRC Radio unit as far from transceiver as possible, to eliminate any possibe EMI interference - still no luck.

Both units are Version 7, HW 8, Software 2.91, Bootloader 1.13.


Please help me to resolve the issue. 

configurations from both units are attached.
