Ron,

Just a possible dumb question.....you do have the USB cable plugged into the RRC?

Ron,

It may be too late for you, but I can send you my networking and/or CAT and low bandwidth checklist(s)
if you send me a short mail to dj0qn (at) darc.de. This has helped over 100 people to get their RRC's to
work properly.

Mike, drop me a mail directly at dj0qn (at) darc.de and I will send you
my networking checklist. You should be able to find the problem using
this.

Paul,

Mike visited Icom in Japan and has always stated that the IC-7100
will be supported. Here is an example:

Yes, Mike, that is the problem when one writes in a language where they are not a
native speaker. I receive quite a few direct e-mails in German and help them out,
but if someone writes on the forum in English, it may be misinterpreted. The Nordic
region is at an advantage, since they can write in Swedish as well as English ;-)

Configuration, RRC 1258 / Re: Profiles ?

« on: 2013-03-03, 22:19:44 »

To make sure that Carsten's questions are answered:

- You must first change to the profile, THEN save it using export. If you have
multiple profiles, you need to change to each one in turn and save them individually.

- To change the profiles in Setup Manager, go to the "setup" tab. It is on the right.

« on: 2013-03-03, 22:07:52 »

Hi James,

What I think you are asking is to have two CAT ports available. If so, the answer is quite simple:
In addition to the regular CAT port that you should have set-up using the RRC's COM2, you can
add COM1 as a "sync" CAT port as well.

Just change COM1 to mode-6 and you can set the baud rate to anything, it must not be the same
as COM2. Make sure you check the wiring between COM1 on the RRC and the device you will be
syncing, since the pinout on COM1 is "backwards" to COM2. COM2 can continue to be used for
N1MM or any other software, this just duplicates CAT on the second port.

I assume this will solve your problem.

Philippe,

I would say that you have a strapping that is not making full contact in its socket.
This is very easy to do if you insert them by hand. I always had problems until I
found a better method: hold it with needle-nose pliers just above the edge of
the insulation and slowly push straight down until it sits.

Take a look at them again to see if this is indeed the problem.

General discussion / Re: SCR Port = DST Port

« on: 2013-02-25, 13:10:33 »

Carsten,

You never need access to the router where you travel, only where the radio sits. As long
as the ports are not blocked, you only need to free these three UDP ports on the radio's
router to use the RRC on the radio end.

The RRC will handle the in and out SIP ports automatically, don't get confused about these
in and out message on the status.

Cartsen,

The ports should be the same. It looks like a port forwarding problem on the radio's router.

Configuration, RRC 1258 / Re: SO2R config - USB COM port confusion

« on: 2013-02-25, 11:21:51 »

Peter,

As long as you:

a) Use the same USB ports for each device
b) The port was not already used previously

You will always get the same port upon reboot. The problem probably lies with the b) above:
at some point this serial port was used and is "blocked" within Windows. Clicking on "show all
devices" will NOT show all old devices no longer used. That is what is probably confusing you.

To solve that, do the following: make a batch file containing the following two lines, or else
enter then into a DOS box in order:

set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1
\windows\system32\devmgmt.msc

Then when the Device Manager comes up, click on "show all devices". These older no longer
used ports will magically show-up. Then you can delete them. I hope this solves your problem.

If things really are nasty, one can easily completely delete all USB devices from the Device
Manager and reset Windows. In this case, you need to make-up a batch file containing
the following lines:

devcon.exe remove =USB
devcon.exe rescan =USB

Be very careful if you use this, since all devices will be reallocated new ports from scratch.

Hardware, Cabling, Installations / Re: TS480 -- Low Microphone modulation

« on: 2013-02-22, 13:19:08 »

Hi Jim,

Nope, SSB is done in hardware, it should work straight off.

There are two possible problems:

1) You wired the socket straps 180 degrees upside down. This is a common problem, I suggest
    that you double-check. The top on the manual photo has the nearest connectors to its right.

2) One or more of the straps is not fully making contact. I used to have this problem all the time
     until I perfected my technique: use a needle-nose pliers and hold the strap at the far end of the
     insulation. Then push the wire straight into the socket until it clearly makes contact. Make sure
     that the wires are not sharply bent going to the other socket.

Also make sure that the jumpers are set correctly per the diagram in the manual.

Denis,

Drop me a mail at dj0qn (at) darc.de and I will send you a checklist to walk you through this
process. Mike is right about the manual, but it can be difficult for people who are not experienced
in networking. He mentioned some most common causes, another one is forgetting to change the
control RRC to DHCP or to the new subnet.

David,

I am not sure if I understand your answer. You say that you changed the SIP port from
5060 on both RRC's and it still doesn't work?

Like I wrote, it is used by many routers for VoIP, so this port should never be used.

If this isn't the problem, then I can try to help you from here. Please contact me at
dj0qn (at) darc.de or Skype "mitchwo" and we can work on a solution.
