General discussion forum / Re: RRC-MICRO, TS-480, HRD, DM780

« on: 2011-08-04, 15:36:59 »

Hi Piero,

I am neither a digi mode op, nor do I use HRD, but a couple of ideas from my side (after looking at the programs):

- You can use CAT for PTT and control DM780's PTT through HRD (settings in both programs)
- You can try using the TS-480's internal VOX (see DM780 PTT options)

Maybe someone else has tried this using the PC Client, rather than the RRC.

General discussion forum / Profile change issues when traveling

« on: 2011-08-02, 17:18:15 »

I now have a portable RRC + TS-480 head in a small case that I have been using during
some vacation and portable operation. I have noticed two issues and have a suggestion
to fix them:

1) If you book your PC and RRC separately into a local network, either through Ethernet or
   wireless connections (RRC using a bridge), then sometimes the networks do not allow
   peer-to-peer communications between these two network clients for security reasons.
   This means that you not only can not access the web-based menus to change RRC
   settings, but are unable to change between your profiles for target remote stations.

2) When you are in a location with a fixed IP number, you can easily change this by using
   the Setup Manager via USB cable. Unfortunately, this also changes the RRC back to the
   "default" profile, and at that point it may not be possible to change to the correct profile
   if you have network issues like in 1) above. I noticed that in some cases, since changing
   to a fixed IP number does not allow you to set a DNS server, that this was the cause of not
   being able to reach the RRC.

Suggested fix: just add the ability to make profile changes to the Setup Manager. At the
same time, maybe you can add the ability to manually enter a DNS server address when entering
a fixed IP number.

Not critical stuff, but sure would make life easier for us traveling with RRC's and using multiple remote stations.

« on: 2011-07-28, 17:54:25 »

I really do not understand what it is you are trying to do, Bill.

How do you know that the problem is user name and password? When one of these
is incorrect, the RRC just makes a type of line unavailable noise, but there is no other
feedback of any type. You only get that type of feedback when using the browser to
access the RRC, but that has nothing to do with the TS-480 connection and the SIP
name and password, they are completely unrelated.

Please review the checklist again that I sent you, I am sure that you are missing something.

The DynDNS account has nothing to do with the day-to-day access to your system.

You only need to enter this one time into the radio RRC and forget it after that point.

To access your system, you enter the DynDNS address you created into the SIP
contact field, e.g. ws4y.dyndns.org, as well as the SIP password that you may
have entered into the radio RRC.

General discussion forum / Re: New Hum Problem with 2.41

« on: 2011-07-25, 20:08:57 »

I have found another bug in 2.41:

The CAT on COM2 over USB is not "released" when the logging program is terminated.
For example, the program I use, TRX-manager, uses the COM2 over USB CAT with no
problem, but when I terminate the program and restart it, it can no longer access COM2.

The only way I can find to release it is to reboot the PC. 2.40 does not exhibit this
problem at all, I can terminate and restart the program as many times as I want, and it will
always use COM2 over USB without an error message.

John,

You are "located" at your station, not where you are remotely located. It is as
if you had a long microphone cable.

Hank,

Do you mean SIP port? It doesn't matter, just use anything other than 5060.
I have used 5061, 5070, 5080, etc. are work just fine.

Looks bad, Alex.

make sure:
1) your DHCP was really activated
2) swap the ethernet cable in case it is defective

If It still shows no IP number after making another restart, then it is likely
defective, sorry!

Alex,

Use the Setup Manager to change the RRC back to DHCP, then go to the Netinfo tab and
see if it received an IP number from your router (assuming you have the DHCP server on).
If you do have an IP number, then your ethernet port is just fine. At that point, click on
browse and then import your settings to get back to where you were before.

If you don't receive an IP number and you are sure everything is fine (e.g. ethernet cables
are ok, DHCP server and router are ok), then you have a defective unit and need to contact
Sweden.

Double check everything. I am on vacation right now in Italy and discovered that one of the
ethernet cables that I brought along to use does not work. Don't assume anything!

« on: 2011-07-22, 14:16:01 »

Hard to say, Ed.

If you have a serial port or USB to serial cable, I would test COM2 on your RRC
to see if it works that way (turn USB CAT off first). That would at least indicate
where the problem lies and make it much easier to solve.

If you can't test it that way, then it will be more difficult to find. You can send me
a screen shot of your COM ports in Windows for a starter. Otherwise, maybe the
RemoteRig guys in Sweden or someone else has something I missed.

No problem, Alex.

On the back of the RRC is a reset button, see the manual, page 17.

Ed, did you:

1) Connect a cable to the K3's CAT port up to COM2 on the RRC?
2) The both RRC's COM2 mode set to mode 4 and the correct baud rate?
3) Downloaded and installed Setup Manager to get the drivers installed on your PC?
4) Looked under Windows to see which COM port the "Microbit RRC Virtual Comport" was assigned?
5) Enter that COM port in HRD with the correct baud rate?

Maybe this list will help find something you missed.

John,

That doesn't always work with wireless networks, so that is why I said to reconnect to the
network afterward. It wouldn't hurt to restart the RRC after you are booked back in.

John,

The next time that happens, call-up a DOS window and type: "ipconfig /release" into it. Then connect
to the wireless network again. I bet this solves your problem.

Just don't forget then to use the external IP number or dynamic DNS address with the
port number with the : in between, e.g. ws4y.dyndns.org:1234
