Mike,

I agree there should, and probably is no difference. This WiFi is a typical home installation.
Just grasping at straws as I’m not certain what the problem may be here locally with the K3/0. If the problem is at my remote … which has been very reliable over the years, then I’m out of luck. As mentioned in my post, I can ping the remote connection.

Hi

There is no difference working from France or within the US. But if you are using a Hotel Wifi or a public Wifi they may have blocked ports, that's quite common

General discussion forum / K3/0 connection to K3
« Last post by K7FL on 2024-01-10, 18:02:34 »
I have a K3 at my remote in Utah that has worked well with my K3/0 & RRC boxes from my home in Las Vegas. I’ve used WiFi for connectivity at the K3/0 end. I’m in France for a couple of months and trying to use the K3/0 to connect to the remote. I changed the WiFi settings on the K3/0 to the local wifi. I can’t establish a connection.

The WiFi works well with streaming of TV, etc. I tried ran the connection through a stateside VPN server just in case the problem was some geographical limitations. I receive a trouble-tone, which indicates it is not connected.

I really don’t think anything changed in the configurations. Am I missing something? Should I simply need to scan for the appropriate WiFi network and enter the credentials?

BTW, I am able to ping my remote router so the connection there appears okay.

Thanks

Hello from W4HI,

I want to upgrade my exsiting IC-7100 to the newly manufactured IC-7100.

Current remote rig pairs:
Control / Remote 1258 V7 HW 8 Software 2.95 Boot 113 Compiler 4.6.2.

Will I have any issues using the NEW 7100 currently in production with existing remote rig pair?

Hi Dennis,

Yes it will work fine for you. The Radio-end RRC-1258 keying output is an open-drain FET with a series 100ohm resistor, to give plenty of isolation from your external keyer box on the same line. Both will happily independently key up the Elecraft K3 radio.

Remember to set an 'LF Delay' value in the 'Keyer settings' of your Control-RRC1258, so that the K3's audio CW sidetone, delayed by the network connection, doesn't disturb you as you operate your paddle key. The locally-generated sidetone from the Radio RRC1258 works well.

I suggest you start with the following 'Keyer settings' values in your Control-RRC1258, then experiment to see if you can shorten them and still have good on-air remote CW keying without jitter.

LF delay: 350 ms
Key delay: 150 ms

73 and good luck in your Multi-Station 160m CQWW activation.

Thank Mike, that helped a lot!

We're planning to do a MS effort for the CQWW 160M contest at the end of the month.  We currently have a complete setup at the remote unit, and plan to run the keying line from the SO2R Box keyer to the input of the K3s.  The CW would all be generated at the Remote site.

We would like to add in paddle CW via the RRC.  Has anyone paralleled the outputs from a keyer and the RRC to enable both?  We would, of course, be using the Remote Rig units to control radio frequency, bandwidth, etc.  Has anyone done this, and any pitfalls to watch out for?  Dennis W1UE

I have two RRC 1258 MKll at the same location.  Both run software 2.95 and bootloader 1.9.

Radios are Kenwoods,TS480 on RRC1 port 84 and D710 on RRC2 port 85.  Everything has been working fine for several years but the TS480 stopped connecting.  Both 1258 boxes at the control end have profiles for both radios so I swapped them and found both would connect to the D710 but neither would connect to the TS480.

A visit to the radio site found one 1258 locked up and requiring a password.  The factory reset button fixed the lockup.  Both radios were  working okay.

Next day, TS480 stopped connecting again.  I can access RRC2 remotely but RRC1 is only reachable from the local network. 

I have tried changing port settings but RRC1 seems invisible outside of the local network.  I always change port forwarding to match the RRC.

I am looking for suggestions.
