Configuration, RRC 1258 / TS-480 VOX

« on: 2017-11-10, 13:18:47 »

Hello,

My setup
Win 10
TS 480
RRC with latest firmware

With a mic and PTT everything works.
With a mic and VOX, it doesn't.

If I hook the radio control head directly to the radio without remote rig, VOX works as it should.
WiTh the rig remoted, no go.

I've checked all jumpers. I've tried two different radios as well as two different control and radio boxes.

What am I missing???

Thanks, Ray

Feature Requests / RC1216H serial port

« on: 2015-12-21, 17:28:18 »

I request a serial port option for the Rotor control of the RC1216H similar to that available for the Expert 1K. That way I could use the web based control window but still have the option of using my logging interface to turn the rotor along with rig control with one click on the spotting window.

That would free up com1 to be a CAT to the amp.

thanks for your consideration AND for making a wonderful product line.

seasons greetings

Hardware, Cabling, Installations / rotor to com1???

« on: 2015-12-04, 23:18:06 »

My setup: TS-480 with control head plugged into RRC-control, RRC-remote is attached to body of radio. I have a PC attached via USB for winkey and also via com 2 mode 4 for PC control of radio cat (via Logic9 running on windows 10). I want to attach com1 to my green herron and run that from either logic or the green herron ap.

How do I set com 1 in control and radio RRC and what cable???

Logic control of cat is running perfectly

logic built in winkey app is not so good. It sends first three letters in string then starts over and leaves last three letters of string off so I am using the demo from winkey till I find a better way.

Thanks for your help with com1

General discussion forum / RC-1216H

« on: 2015-12-03, 03:34:03 »

hello, I'm new to the forem and new to remote rig.
I took my RC 1216H remote control out of the shipping box and attempted to set it up for my SteppIr BD-42. I used setup manager v 1.28 to assign an IP and then used my browser (chrome) to find the RC and do the rest of the setup. Following the manual, I chose SteppIr from the advanced settings then clicked on "serial settings", I get the response "no settings available for this device"

So I thought maybe I needed to update the firmware, so I looked on the web page and that's when I really screwed up!

The RC-1216H said it had ver 4.21, I saw that the updates had various numbers from 4 to 4.5 to 4.12 to 4.20. I chose 4.20 as it had the newest date. I uploaded it to the device and all was well but still got the message "no settings....for this device". Ok, now what???

That's when I realized that there is a Web Switch Ham 1216H section and a RC 1216H section. I put the wrong device firmware in! I tried to put the last file in the RC-1216H list in but it will not load.... Perhapse because it has a number lower than 4.20 and has an older date?

 Is the a copy of RC-1216H v 4.21 or newer available? Have I created a fatal error?

 Is my box bad as the serial port can't be be programmed?

Yes, I'm lost haha...

thanks in advance for any and all help.
