Configuration, RRC 1258 / Set up Instructions for RemoteRig K3 Twins for the digital mode "FT8"

« on: 2020-03-25, 21:12:51 »

I am looking for detailed instructions that walk an operator through the setup of a local K3/Mini, remote K3 and the Remote Rig K3-Twins. I have been unsuccessful in my use of the search engine to find all the needed information in one place. Bits and pieces yes but not an easily understood set of instructions similar to the initial setup instructions for SSB and CW operation.

I welcome help from the community, especially if this has already been answered within the forum.  Please feel free to contact me directly at w6my@arrl.net

Thanks,

Hardware, Cabling, Installations / K3/mini Losing Audio

« on: 2019-08-12, 01:40:20 »

Can connect FB  and will be just listening when speakers go completely quite. Absolutely dead quite no background noise, nothing.  I can still control radio, tune and transmit  change bands etc.

The S meter moves up and down indicating the station I was listening to is still active.

Lights on Control unit: Solid  Yellow

Power off K3/Mini powers off remote K3. power up K3/mini everything works fine until I loss audio again.

Hardware, Cabling, Installations / Re: Remote (radio end) cabling to allow local on site and remote operation

Thanks to all for the reply's. I have an NCS Multi-Switcher that looks like it can handle the mic and audio chores. I also have an early version of the y-box that I plan to use. I will post my an update after I work through the recommendations received plus some of my own experimenting.

Thanks again,

Hardware, Cabling, Installations / Remote (radio end) cabling to allow local on site and remote operation

« on: 2019-07-01, 08:59:07 »

New to RR setup.  When I am actually at the at the remote (radio) site there is no need to use the RR boxes. I want to operate the radio using a different mic with a foot switch, or a key for CW plus an external sound card for digital modes and an LP-Pan2.  I am trying to sort out the cabling and what is needed to avoid constantly having to physically move connections etc. I have been using my K3/mini with Remote Hams software and simply do not run the RemoteHams Server when physically at the site. Everything else stays the same whether I am at the remote site or operating many miles away. I am hoping I can replicate this functionality without having to disconnect the RemoteRig boxes and reroute cables etc.

I suspect others have already solved this issue and would welcome assistance.   

Thanks,
