General discussion forum / Re: Keying TS-480 with Win-Test and Winkeyer USB

« on: 2011-10-19, 17:48:32 »

I'm using with satisfaction a CW keying program (CWTYPE) running on my WINDOWS XP LapTop hooked through the USB (Virtual port, in my case COM16) to the RRC Control. In the program setup I've choosen KEY/PTT Port Type -> COM Port via Windows API,  KEY->DTR,   PTT->None .
If some heavy program runs on background, I noticed time to time unregular keying sequences, but it happens rarely. CWTYPE is an excellent program also when I'm at home in front of my main rig whre I use MicroKEYER MKII interfaces and WinKey.

Thanks Roland ! I hope you'll succeed in the problem fix and get a full TRX Manager support.
Have you had any evidence of the CW manipulation problem notified in my message ?
Best regards.

Mats,
in order to hear the radio audio, you must have full control of the radio, to turn it on and properly set the audio gain. Is the IC-706 properly interfaced to the RRC Radio Box ? Does your set up works fine when you connect the radio with the RRC Controller ?
I'm using a remote Kenwood TS-480 with RRC 1274A and RRC CLient 1.3.1 + Ham Radio Deluxe in SSB with good results. Audio is excellent in both directions.
I'm still having some problem on CW and basically I don't like HRD, but the client works well.
I'll be happy if I can help.

General discussion / TRX Manager - CW problems

« on: 2011-10-12, 12:45:46 »

I'm a quite happy user of a TS-480 (+ Expert 1K-FA) in remote mode, thanks to the RRC controllers.
Time to time, it would be nice to use my rig also when I have not with me all the needed hardware (RRC Box & TS-480 Front Panel) using the RRC 1274A and the software client.
I succeded to install and run it, but I'm still having some problem.
First of all, I'm very anxious to replace HRD control Software with TRX Manager as soon as it will be fully supported by the RRC Client. Is there any progress in the matter ?
I'm using the Software Client 1.3.1 (but also 1.3.0 Beta 2 is the same) and I have some problem with HRD, that seems to respond with big delay to any stroke of the mouse. I feel not safe in split operations and the overall response of the application do not satify me;
I use to work with TRX-Manager for remote control of the antenna rotor and the Steppir contoller sincronized with the tranceiver frequency , by far much better end closer to the standard way of operate an ham rig than HRD. Unfortunately do no work yet with the RRC Client.
I'm also having some problem with the software CW keyer: many letters are repeted in a random way while I'm keying on the keyboard. Does any one else experieced similar problems?
When I use the RRC Control Box and the TS-480 Panel, everythink works perfectly.
Best regards to all.
