Feature Requests / Is the Nano now a "mature" product?

« on: 2021-10-18, 14:11:24 »

I really like the Nano app for my TS480 station. It gives me the ability to check on the band activity and condition of my remote station practically wherever I am. What I am disappointed in is that there does not appear to be any development  of improvements of the product. The Nano was a $50US app, which I gladly paid to have it, but I did expect some development of the product. What is the future of the Nano product?

General / NANO Kenwood Pro problems

« on: 2021-10-16, 04:37:09 »

I purchased a new Android smartphone. Went to Play Store and picked "Remoterig RRC-Nano PRO K". It said that it was "Purchased". Installed it and set up all parameters as before. I can connect to the site, but no audio or control. (See the attachment)

My RRC1258 Control Unit works fine. Any ideas?

General discussion forum / TS480 and FT8 operation at the console unit

« on: 2019-04-13, 14:58:19 »

Hello to All,

I decided to try an experiment with FT8.  I configured COM2 so that I have CAT control at the console unit.  I verified that it works by running the Kenwood ARCP software and it works fine.  I then ran the WSJT software and had some success.  The WSJT software can control the TS480, but an error comes up.  I'm still working on that problem.  PTT via CAT is not working, another problem.

The biggest problem that I have is that any brief Internet interruptions causes the decoder not to work.  I'm taking audio off the RemoteRig SP (speaker) jack and feeding it into the sound card mike jack of the laptop.

I'm beginning to think that the best way to run FT8 with RemoteRig is to have a computer at the remote site where the radio is.  This way there is no interruption of the audio stream.

Any ideas?  Anyone running FT8 remotely?

General / Nano and IC-706

« on: 2018-11-22, 12:16:55 »

Is the Nano compatible with the IC-706 radios?  I can't get it to work properly.  I found a note that said that power on/off can only be done with the iC-7100.

General / Purchasing another Nano control App

« on: 2018-11-20, 10:18:49 »

Hello,

I presently have the Kenwood and the Elecraft Apps.  It's been a while since I purchased these and now I am adding the Icom App.  It used to be $10 for each additional App that was purchased, has this changed?  I see the price now as $49.99 for the Icom Pro App.

General discussion forum / Noise on transmit

« on: 2018-02-19, 14:40:45 »

We are experiencing noise on transmissions when nothing is being said.  In other words, while transmitting and you stop talking the background noise gets louder.  When a word is spoken the noise floor immediately goes back to normal until you stop talking again.  It reminds me of AVC or AGC where a circuit is adjusting the level of audio.

The configuration is two 1258 units purchased several years ago as a pair, serial # 4262 and 4032 .  The following info is the same in both original units:
PID   4
Version   5
HW   6
Software   2.91
Bootloader   1.9
Compiler   4.6.2
Build   Jun 16 2016 07:13:13

A standard non-amplified microphone is used.

When I use my newer 1258 control head the problem does not happen.  Serial # 9964.  The difference between my control head and the older one is that mine is Version 7, HW 8.
PID   4
Version   7
HW   8
Software   2.91
Bootloader   1.10
Compiler   4.6.2
Build   Jun 16 2016 07:13:13

Do you have any idea why this is happening? As I recall, it happened in previous software builds.

General / New phone, how do I transfer license?

« on: 2018-02-01, 23:44:10 »

Hello,

I purchased a new phone and loaded the Nano App to the new phone.  How do I get it activated for my paid account from the old phone?

Thanks, Joe, K1ike

General discussion forum / WINDOWS10 AND MICROBIT SETUP MANAGER V1.31

« on: 2016-08-07, 00:55:05 »

I upgraded to Windows 10 and now I am trying to setup virtual comports using the Microbit Setup Manager version 1.31.  I am getting an error "Invalid Virtual Serial Port, please select another" message when the program first opens up.  Looking at the Serial Port setup, they are all showing as not installed.  If I install a virtual serial port it tells me that the serial port is created, but if I Refresh or try to use it the com port goes away and says not installed.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Joe, K1ike

Any documentation on how this works?

General discussion forum / RRC Web server port is not responding reliably

« on: 2016-02-23, 03:39:43 »

I've noticed that this problem has been getting worse as times goes by.  I am trying to access the web server port and it seems to "hang up" as the page is loading.  Sometimes I only get the left hand column, sometimes nothing happens.  This is happening on 4 RRC1258 units, both Control and Radio units, on local LAN IP and remote IP.  Occasionally the F5 key will reload the page and clear the problem.  All are running firmware V2.87

Any ideas?  Anyone having the same problem?  I saw some posts about this last year and wonder if it is still happening to people.

Feature Requests / We really, really need to be able to activate the antenna tuner

« on: 2016-01-30, 00:11:00 »

I like the Nano app, but I am limited to receive only because I am not able to tune the antenna.  We badly need the ability to activate the antenna tuner.

General / KENWOOD NANO 1.3.10 UPDATE

« on: 2016-01-26, 16:12:01 »

I saw on my phone that I received a RemoteRig update for the Nano app.  Now when I try to connect to the remote using the Nano app I get the BUSY indication on the app but it disconnects the connection that is in progress.

Hardware, Cabling, Installations / K3 will not turn on, but works if manually turned on

« on: 2016-01-08, 04:50:07 »

I'm working on my third RRC, this one is an Elecraft K-3.

I'm accessing the K-3 using my Elecraft Nano App on my Android phone.  The K-3 will not turn on when I connect to it over my local LAN IP address.  If I first turn on the K-3, I can connect to it and everything seems to work fine.  When I disconnect the K-3 powers off.  If I try to reconnect the K-3 will not power up, but the Nano app shows that I am connected.

Any ideas?  The 1258 RRC is Version 7, HW 8,Software 2.87, and the K-3 software is up to date.

Configuration, RRC 1258 / ELECRAFT K3-Twin COM0 Program mode 3 char timeout

« on: 2016-01-08, 02:54:01 »

I'm looking at page 208 of the User Manual Rev A34.  I do not see a listing for the value of Radio Setting "COM0 Program mode 3 char timeout".

What should this field be set to?  I have software version 2.87 in my RRC.

Hardware, Cabling, Installations / Elecraft K3 E1a and E2a mic cables

« on: 2016-01-05, 17:47:45 »

I'm working on an Elecraft K3 remote setup.  I was looking at the two factory cables for the microphones connections and they both have the RJ45 pin 7 wired to the mike jack pin 5.  The drawings in the USER MANUAL do not show this connection.  Pin 5 of the K3 is used by the button on the microphone and is a programmable feature (OFF or ON).  Is this feature supported by the 1258?
