I am not sure if Andrew has "continuous RTP" turned on, but he should try that
to see if it helps or solves his problem.

I think this is still a valid answer:

Hi Tariq,

The Heil mics I have all used have the PTT separate. The Kenwood adapter has
a "pigtail", for which you must connect to a foot or hand switch to make it work.

For VOX operation, you must turn "Continuous RTP" on both RRC's to make it work.

Tariq,

Could you please clarify what you mean by "doesn't transmit effectively"? Is this an audio
quaility or PTT problem?

Hi Mark,

I would compare it to looking in a mirror....everything is in the same place, just reversed.
That is how this is as well

Mark,

Because one is male and the other female, so the pinout is backwards.
I found a link that shows this clearly: http://www.zytrax.com/tech/layer_1/cables/tech_rs232.htm#pins

Akira-san,

If you need any help, I can look at your setup with Teamviewer. Just remember that my time zone
is UTC+1, which means that I am 8 hours behind you. Just send me a mail directly if you need
support.

Hi Nino,

COM1 and COM2 are backwards, so you will need to reverse the wires. Look
again at the manual.

« on: 2012-02-02, 18:19:11 »

All cables that you need are included in the RemoteRig and TS-480 boxes. Please refer to the
newest manual, page 156-160, or look at http://www.remoterig.com/wp/?page_id=452 under
the "cables" tab.

I understand that the U.S. version of the TS-480 may not include the mobile mounting bracket
and a second RJ-11 modular cable. If you need this as well, just go to a Radio Shack or similar
and buy a telephone cable that has all wires connected (I think it is called a 3-line cable or something
like that). You can see if all the wires are all connected by looking at the end of the cable.

« on: 2012-01-31, 20:04:23 »

Neither. It runs stand-alone with its own web interface. All you do is to plug it into
your router/switch and set it up. You start a browser to access it.

This one seems very much like overkill, there are for sure smaller, cheaper IP based
power outlets on the market. I don't know the U.S. market, but I have put several of
these into operation: http://www.koukaam.se/products.php?cat_id=19
They cost less than 100 Euros with VAT over here.

Either through the menu, or just use a power strip to turn the power off.

It wasn't clear to me how you were doing it before, since you were writing
about changing port numbers.

Gunnar,

Did you try by restarting the RRC per my earlier post? I don't know how it works with
your rig, but that is a method that I have used many times with the TS-480. I use two
stations that are shared with eight others, and we don't have a problem.

Otherwise, an IP power strip per my post makes this easy and saves electricity. For example,
I have bought several of these for under 100 euros: http://www.koukaam.se/products.php?cat_id=19

Harris,

That is a question for the Elecraft folks and has already been asked on the Elecraft
reflector. The RemoteRig team can not modify the K3 firmware.

Hi Akira-san,

Thanks for the update. It appears that you are making progress, but may have a
network problem somewhere. It is difficult from your description to determine more
precisely where the problem lies.

I think you need some more testing, and change some of the settings to see if the
network performance improves. Try increasing the RX jitter and buffer, as well as
the audio packet size. Turn continuous RTP on, also make sure that your router has
SIP ALG turned off. Change your audio quality down to the lowest level (0) and see if
this improves the situation. Try taking things off the network and putting them back
on again to see if this really has an impact or not. We need to have you narrow this
down to figure out what the problem is.

Someone that has 706 experience like Simon may have some specific tips on configuration
that I am unaware of, in case that has an influence.

Let us know how you are doing!

Hi Simon,

There is a radio setting "auto connect" that is default set to "no". As far as I understand,
this only connects upon power-up, but not when the connection to the radio RRC is lost.
Since I have never had this set to "yes", I can't verify if that is what happens. Maybe Mike
can chime in, or else I can do some experimenting.
