General discussion / Kenwood TS-570 setup
« on: 2011-11-14, 14:30:01 »
Hi all:

Haven't posted in quite a while because everything is just working perfectly.
However, I'm changing my rig from a Yaesu FT-450 to a Kenwood TS-570Dg but I'm not sure on which connector on the Control RRC do I use for the mic input. Is it the large RJ-45, currently used by my MD-100A8X or the smaller one to the right when facing the Control RRC.
I'm also not sure if this is an RJ-8 or 9. Will I also have to change any jumpers in both the Control and Radio RRCs?
Other than setting the units to use Yaesu, the appropriate comm ports and the speed  in the web interfaces, my units worked out of the box.
I'm figuring I'll have to do the same for the Kenwood but I'm hoping I won't have to mess with any jumpers.
I didn't have to for the Yaesu. Worked right out of the box.

General discussion / Hand Mic Audio problems
« on: 2011-05-30, 23:44:44 »
Hi all:

A couple of weeks ago when I was putting my remote back on the air, I tried my standard Yaesu hand mic which came with the 450.
I forget the model # but when I plugged it in to the Control RRC, I went down stairs to the shack and enabled the monitor on my 450 to listen through head phones.
When I got my helper to key the mic and speak, all I heard was a kind of woshing sound but no voice.
My main mic is the MD-100A8X with all switches left in the default and I get excellent audio reports.
I have the audio codecs set the same on both ends. Could it be the mic it self?
When plugged directly into the rig, it works fine.  Both mics have the RJ-45 connectors.
I'm a little concerned as I might have to trade some items to try and get a broader range automatic tuner to tune my new G5RV when I install it, should the internal tuner in the FT-450 doesn't work.

Hi Roland and team:

Are there any plans to add a rig control add on to the RRC 1258 system?
I think it would be somewhat convenient to eliminate the HRD as an absolute necessary if you don't have the supported rigs with the remote head kits. 
This could take the form of a sub page on the Radio RRC page that you could click on and then see an interface vary similar to the Global Tuners on line receiver's interface.
Its Java based.

General discussion forum / Web Switch Questions
« on: 2011-05-10, 17:11:08 »
Hi All:

I'm looking at adding a 40/6M yagi down the road and I was wondering, instead of purchasing a 2 port auto tuner, would the web switch be a better choice?
Would I be able to use the Comm 1 port on my remote rig system to control the switching of the antennas?
Right now, my comm 2 port is in use along with the serial port on the back of the rig and it only has one of these. 
Is there another method to controlling the web switch if it does require the serial port on the back of the rig?
Ie: using the yaesu's band data out?

Hi Jan and the entire Microbit team:

Just want to thank you again for your patients.
Apparently, all I had to do was drop the http:// from my DynDns host name and it fixed it.
The DNS status also changed to an actual link on the radio RRC.

A little weird about not having the http:// in front of the host but if it works right? :)

General discussion / SIP Contact Host Problems
« on: 2011-05-09, 00:45:16 »
Hi all:

Well up and running again, everything seems to be running fine except I have a SIP contact host issue.
When I put in my DynDns assigned host, I don't get any audio and the remote isn't functioning.
However, when I replace the DynDns host with my ISP assigned IP, it establishes a connection and everything's fine. 
Any fix for this? The only thing I know to do now is watch for the IP change to update the SIP contact host field.

General discussion / SIP Password
« on: 2011-05-04, 17:19:11 »
Hi All:

Is it neccessary to have a SIP password specified under the Radio RRC's radio settings?
Considering there's no SIP contact like in the Control RRC. You specify the host and password under the DynDns setting, figured this should do.

General discussion / Rig Control Add On
« on: 2011-05-03, 21:37:59 »
To the Remote Rig Development Team:
I was wondering how difficult it would be to add a web based rig control add on to the Control RRC's web page?
This interface could be similar in every way to the Global Tuners online receiver's interface. '
In other words, get rid of the HRD component all together for those of us who don't use the rigs with the separation kits such as the TS-480/IC-706 etc? 
This would also take care of the cross platform issues. IE: my main computer is an Imac but in order to run HRD, I have to duel boot into windows or use VmWare Fusion.
It would be nice to control my rig with my Mac or windows based laptop with out having to worry about installing drivers for USB to Serial adapters and such.
Thus far overall, I'm happy with my remote rig system. I know I'm having some issues with my connection right now but its probably another piece of equipment or a simple setting.
Just a suggestion and thanks.

General discussion / DNS Error Code
« on: 2011-05-03, 16:57:17 »
Hi All:

I just took another look at my Radio RRC's settings, to see if there's anything I missed and I see that I have A DNS Error Code 4.
Anyone have an idea what this means? Also, should I have my PING Watchdog set to off or doesn't matter?
I'm kind of thinking everything is as it should be because, I wouldn't be able to access my Radio RRC's web page through my dyndns host other wise.
I also have my remote site's router set to port forward UDP CMD, UDP Audio and SIP ports to the Radio RRC's internal assigned IP which is 192.168.1.4.
I also have this IP address reserved for my Radio RRC. I also have the Extern IPs blank.
The only thing left is to take the Control RRC out to the QTH, hook it up on the LAN out there to see if everything works, as it did here in my apartment.
If everything does work out there, I can only sermize that my ISP's have something to do with it.
I do use 2 different providers and that may play a roll. I think it worked before due to the fact that they just didn't notice the increase in traffic between they're domains and now they've blocked unless I pay! LOL
Sounds silly I know but here in Canada, ISP's will block to prevent they're competitors.

General discussion / Re_Remote Rig Problems
« on: 2011-05-02, 19:50:10 »
Hi Mike:

I have my ports at the RRC's QTH setup to forward to the internal assigned ip of the Radio RRC. don't think this was the problem, unless the QTH's Router might have some problems.  Will have to check next weekend. I'd like to use DMZ but not sure how to set it up on my type of router.
Didn't see an option only port forwarding or port triggering and elected to go with port forwarding instead.
I have now removed both the extern ips, this is right? I also have the Control RRC SIP contact pointing to the dyndns host.  I'm still not getting anything except when I got rid of the extern ips, my control RRC emitted some sort of alert.

General discussion / Remote rig problems continued
« on: 2011-05-02, 17:17:52 »
Hi All:

After taking my remote down for reset and successfully testing it in my apartment and got it working fine, I set it up again this weekend.
Of course, I'm not getting any functionality what so ever but I can access the Radio RRC's web page perfectly through my dyndns assigned host.
I have the remote router set to port forward UDP audio and cmd along with sip and so on but still nothing.
I also have my router here in my apartment configured to allow the same but still nothing. 
Both extern IPs match the remote site's ISP assigned IP, so no problem there.
Again, when both units were here in my apartment, they worked perfectly! LOL
I didn't change anything, just setup port forwarding and the external IPs.

Totally lost: Help!

General discussion forum / Resetting my remote
« on: 2011-04-04, 14:42:12 »
Hi All:

I had to take down my HF remote for resetting purposes.
I thought this would be a good time to update the firmware as well.
I have the 2 devices on my lan and Yaesu FT-450 connected to the Radio RRC but the 2 devices can't talk to each other.
I have the ports opened up on my router and have the following IPs.
Control RRC, 192.168.2.16, Radio RRC, 192.168.2.13.
The external IPS are my ISP's assigned Ip of 142.xxx.xxx.xx.
On the Radio RRC, I have my Dyn DNS info configured as well and can reach the RRC by typing in my DYN DNS host address.
I have my serial set to Yaesu but I think I'm missing just a couple of more little things and can't think of them.
Some help would be appreciated.

General discussion / Reset Remote
« on: 2011-04-04, 03:20:51 »
Hi All:

Well, had to take down my remote station to reset and in order to do that had to cart the works back to my apartment.
Figured it would be a gd time to up date as well.
Now that I got the 2 devices on my LAN, FT-450 connected to the Radio RRC, can't seem to get the 2 units to talk to each other.
Perhaps I require the serial settings and IP settings. Should have written everything down but didn't and I'm having to start all over. UG.

General discussion forum / Password Recovery?
« on: 2011-02-24, 14:01:24 »
Hi all:

Is there a way to recover a password with out resetting?
I set up a user and password on my Radio RRC but haven't  used it in a while.
I tried logging in the other day and the password I used didn't work. 
Of course, stupid me, didn't jot it down and I varied from my normal password scheme.
I guess a total reset wouldn't be a total problem, just a bit of a pain though.
