General discussion / IC-7100

« on: 2013-08-22, 00:42:10 »

Hi,

just finish the IC-7100 config using two "black boxes", one with the Radio (remote) and the other with the Controler (client side). In fact was an easy setup guided by the manual but wonder how to reach the remote site using the RRC-Micro client with such a configuration?

When CI-V setup for ICOM radios is used there's no limitation to connect with either the RRC-1258 control box (at home) or the RRC-Micro (while traveling).

IC-7100 has a function that enables the radio ON even without the Controller attached (locally or remotely) but in this case should be used "Program mode 1 - ICOM CI-V" instead of "Program mode 2 - IC-7100" if the ideia is using the RRC-Micro client or there's another way to use the RRC-Micro with this new rig?

One advantage of getting the Controller at the client side, beasides the "real feel", is the capability to power the radio on/off  but wonder if there is a way to power on/off remotely even without the Controller while using the RRC-Micro.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Pedro

General discussion / RRC Micro - no audio

« on: 2013-06-11, 13:03:49 »

Hi,

just facing a problem with RRC Micro when using vodafone wireless pen broadband connection.

All was working fine until a few days ago. Now when connection is made I get connected with remote RRC  but audio packets come to slow ...the green bar on the RRC Micro software ( v 1.6.6.0) rise slow and then falls  quicly resulting in short period of audio to no audio.

Already tried diferent port setting for SIP, Command and Audio ports (now settings  are 13000, 12000, 11000 respectively).


At the biggining I thougt it was a port problem or RRC Micro issue but the "slow to no audio" problem just disapear if I change the network to my local wifi network. RRC Micro with same setting works just fine.

Wonder what may be causing this problem since Vodafone wireless connection seems to be quite good and speed ok when surfing over the internet. Any chance of vodafone network made changes in their settings resulting in blocking ports? or this may be a configuration problem at my side? firewall disabled for test and no effect on this issue.

Thanks

General discussion / net framework 4

« on: 2011-10-21, 00:19:00 »

Hi,

after installing NET FRAMEWORK 4. in order to run RRC-micro I got problems with other radio aplications like Microham USB Device Router. After installing the Framework the USB router just not get loaded and I need to force it to close. My OS is win 7.

Wonder if anyone noticed such problems or if there's a way to try to find out what's causing that problem.

Thanks in advance,
Pedro

Configuration, RRC 1258 / RRC COM PORTS AVAILABILITY

« on: 2011-08-21, 16:18:20 »

Hi,

I wonder if it's possible to use all the 3 ports available (com0, com1 and com2) as follows:

com0: CI-V control for ICOM tranceiver (through TTL or USB in control side);
com1: amplifier control;
com2: rotor control.

In the remoterig web page (http://www.remoterig.com/wp/?page_id=362) it seems to be possible to get this combination (Replacing traditional PC-Remote control), having the radio, amp and rotor remotely controlled.

In my setup I was able to get Radio and Amplifier fully controlled but not the rotor because com2 in the control side is attached "logical parallel with com0"... and I would like to use it for rotor control.

As far as I could read in other topics, TTL would permit radio CAT control (CI-V). So I wonder, if I use it, I would be able to use com2 for rotor control.

In this case a converter TTL - RS232 must be used...is there a scheme with wires connections available for this converter?

Thanks

Pedro
