Configuration, RRC 1258 / RRC triggers PTT on USB connect!

« on: 2019-07-29, 16:02:55 »

Now that my previous woes are resolved, a new strangeness has appeared! When I connect the USB cable from the RRC Control, to my PC, PTT is triggered! PTT stays engaged until I disconnect the USB cable. There is no software communicating with the USB port, as far as I can tell. nor is the station set to VOX. Strange, no? This is with a TS-480.

Configuration, RRC 1258 / Chopped up audio from RRC remote

« on: 2019-07-26, 13:45:38 »

Hi eveyrone,

today something unexpectedly happened without any (known to me) configuration changes anywhere. Happy for some help debugging this. I have a TS-480 setup with RRC-1258 MkIIs, which have been working great for well over a month. Today, when I started the control, the audio was choppy, in what I felt sounded like quite consistent periods: 500ms audio, 200ms drop, 500ms audio, 200ms drop, and so on.

Both RRCs use wired Ethernet connections, and the network between them seem reliable (no loss) with rtt of about 20-100 ms. The rtt vary quite a bit though between those extremes, so one hypothesis (given that this is UDP) is that the packets could in theory arrive out of order. But I've no basis for that, except that I see the ping time vary over time and can go from 20ms to 100ms between two consecutive pings.

It definitely seems like a problem on the Radio side: I experience the same chopped up audio if I use the RRC Nano, and it doesn't matter if I use mobile connection or Wifi then either.

General / Nano and TS-480

« on: 2019-06-26, 12:55:03 »

I'm using the TS-480 with a pair of RRC-1258MkII and thought to give the RRC-Nano a try as well. It doesn't really do anything though, I enter the details as I believe them to be correct, but when I click Connect the button lights up and then goes dim again. No error message.

Now, it struck me on the way to work this morning that perhaps the answer is obvious; that the TS-480 console need to be turned on and active on the other side in order for the radio part to answer CAT commands etc. Is there something to that hypothesis, or should I be able to expect RRC-Nano to work and connect even without the console being turned on?
