Drop me a mail at dj0qn (at) darc.de and I will send you my networking checklist. This
should probably answer your questions about router and RRC configurations.

« on: 2012-11-28, 21:16:36 »
Looks fine to me, Paul. Note that only the European TS-480 version has both control cables
included, which is maybe why the manual indicates otherwise.
Mike may answer you on the wi-fi card, but it is just a drop-in to install, so no need for a factory
install. You have to open it up to do the jumpers, anyway, and that takes less time than a couple
of jumpers to install.

Oh, sorry, Ziv, I am getting a bad memory in my old age 
Then the only way is serial control over COM1 of the RRC, or just use an external
serial server like I do. You can get them from Lantronix or Moxa over Ebay quite
cheaply.

Hi Ziv,
Assuming you mean in conjunction with a K3, then you can control the KPA500 through
the K3/0 as you would in the shack. For details, download the K3 Remote owner Manual
from Elecraft at http://www.elecraft.com/K2_Manual_Download_Page.htm#k3_remote
and follow the instructions on page 15.

Hardware, Cabling, Installations / Re: TS-2000 & SignaLink
« on: 2012-11-26, 16:37:52 »
I see that no one answered you yet......,
You use the SignaLink with the TS-480 just as you would as if the rig is in front of you.
All you do is plug the microphone cable into the control RRC instead of the TS-480. Then
connect the speaker output of the control RRC as well and you are in business.
Of course, a solid internet connection is required to prevent dropoffs.

I have a list of tips that I send out for helping with 3G connections. This is useful for
anyone with a low bandwidth situation like you, so maybe it will help:
3G Checklist
------------------
Try reducing your bandwidth to a minimum and changing some parameters to compensate
for a poor line. Here are some tips:
1) These two are important:
- audio quality to 0 (half the bandwidth of codec 2 and more than adequate for SSB & CW)
- turn continuous RTP on or set RTP to continuous (depending upon firmware version)
2) Play around with these 3 until you are satisfied:
- increase rx jitter buffer to min 10
- increase rx jitter delay to min 12
- audio packet size 20 or 40
3) Also, make sure that serial ports COM1 and COM2 are turned off if not used,
or that either being used is set to the minimum bps necessary to handle the serial
communication. For example, use 4800 for CAT on a rig like the TS-480 and not
a high speed like 57600, since the higher speed is completely unnecessary.

Andrea,
Never, ever use port 5060 for SIP! Virtually every router sold in Europe
has this port for VoIP blocked and it won't work!
As for the hardware, I suppose Mike should answer. I can't imagine why
it should be a problem, though.

Jan,
When will the virtual serial port finally be implemented for the 1216H? I am still waiting for this
feature, so that we can replace the Lantronix serial servers with 1216H's in our remote sites.
Mike and I had discussed this last year, so it has been a while in development.

I really can't answer that, Stuart. It is more a personal thing if you prefer the 706 or 857. Note
that the RemoteRig support for the 857 is fairly recent, so there is probably more experience
available in the community for the 706. But this may be a moot point within a year or so, since
I believe the 857 sells better.
Perhaps someone can chime in that has used both rigs, I haven't used either one myself.

Hi Stuart,
Assuming you want to use a remote panel for the RemoteRig, then you don't have much choice on the low end.
It is pretty much between the IC706 and Yaesu FT-857.
From there you go to the TS-2000 with RC-2000 panel, but that would cost around twice as much.

Have you checked to make sure that you have it wired correctly per the manual at:
http://www.elecraft.com/manual/K3_Remote_Owner_Manual_Rev_A.pdf
Important is the RJ45 cable between the AUX/MIC and K3 & K3/0 as on page 12 and 13.
The rear input needs to be selected in the radio's menu.
If this is still not working, let us know.
BTW, this was posted on teh wrong section, as this has nothing to do with the Micro PC Client.

Hi Larin,
Ok, there are actually several threads on this forum about the "backwards" pinout on COM1.
However, I am sure you are on the right track.
I see that the K3 control method is now in the manual:

on page 15.
