I have noticed on version 2.50 that if I operated with FSK, then switch back to CW, that CW no longer works.  I need to reboot the Radio of the Remote Rig to make it work again.  Any thoughts?

OK...I'm in the Pacific time zone in the US...that's UTC -7 hours.

Roland:

Any more thoughts on how I can make this work?  If you have a list of files and registry entries that I can delete, I can do the install over again and see what happens.

Thanks

Roland:  I thought it might be helpful to attache the mblog.txt file.

I'm running Vista 32 bit.

I'm having a very hard time installing RRC Client on my Vista laptop.  I had it working, but had to do a restore of the system since it killed the audio of my Perseus SDR.  I uninstalled and reinstalled RRC Client but I now get the error message you see in the attachment.  I can hear audio but the microphone input does not work.  When I close the exception message, the audio stops and I get another message:  "Error:  Object reference not set to an instance of an object."  At this point, I cannot close either the message or RRC client software without forcing a shutdown from Task Manager.  How can I fix this?

The PTT works fine in SSB and CW, but using the configuration described in the manual with MMTTY and RRC1258 COMFSK installed and showing connected to COM3, there is no PTT generated when MMTTY is sending.

MMTTY PTT & FSK is set to COM3, Tx Port to COM-TxD(FSK) and USB Port to "C".

In RRC Radio, OUT0 Mode = I/O,  OUT1 Mode = Baudot/45, OUT2 Mode=Keyer
In RRC Control, IN0 Mode = Keyer, OUT0, OUT1, OUT2 Mode = I/O, both USB settings are disabled.

Software is 2.46

I can manually trigger PTT using the normal mic PTT.  Can anyone tell my why PTT won't key from MMTTY?

Thanks,

That's one of the options I was considering and that would certainly work, but since I do a lot of RTTY contesting, that would mean operating Win-Test or N1MM over VNC.  Today, I found what may be the best solution of all: K4DSP designed a very simple AFSK to FSK converter that could be placed at the remote site.  The information, operational theory and schematic are available at:

http://k4dsp.homeip.net/~doug/regenerator/

Audio out of the control site computer can be sent down the RemoteRig audio channel and converted to keying closures for the radio, delivering true FSK.  For about $10 USD in parts and a couple of hour's work, this seems like a good way to go.  I'm surprised a device like this isn't available on the market!

I would like to see how this is done.  Does anyone have a schematic or are there ready-made solutions?

I'm looking for an easy way to key FSK (not AFSK) from my computer on the control end to the FSK keying input to the radio on the remote end.  I'm already using the I/O channels for CW Dits, Dahs and computer key "straight key", but I do have COM 0 and COM 1 available.  I'm not controlling the radio (Orion II) through the RemoteRig...it is controlled via a local computer with VNC on remote end.  Is there any way to use the COM ports for 'true' FSK RTTY?

Thanks,
Ron

I have RemoteRig to send and receive audio and CW from my Ten Tec Orion II that will soon be operated by remote using a 1.5 MBPS wireless LAN.  The radio will be controlled by a computer at the remote location over the WLAN using N4PY client/server software, so I will have the serial port and  TTL ports unused.  I want to be able to send FSK keying to the Orion using RemoteRig.  What is the best way to do this?  My current settings are:

IN0 Mode = Keyer
OUT0 Mode = I/O
OUT1 Mode = I/O
OUT2 Mode = I/O
USB RTS as PTT = NO
USB DTR as PTT = NO

I currently use a parallel port through a transistor to directly key the FSK input on the Orion.  Can I directly connect to pin 4 the RRC-Control I/O port then key the radio with pin 5 of the RRC-Radio I/O port?  Will the keying timing be accurate enough for FSK?

Thanks,
Ron N6IE
