COM1 & COM2 use with IC-7100
« on: 2014-06-26, 08:25:39 »
Hello All,
I need some help in configuring my RRC boxes after replacing my TS-480  with a new IC-7100.
The configuration for running the IC-7100 in remote is quite simple and works fine:
the problem starts when I need to connect other devices (on both radio and control side) to the CAT signal of IC-7100. 
Using an CI-V to RS-232 converter, I'm injecting the CAT signal coming from the REMOTE jack of IC-7100 into COM2 of RRC (Radio) and I got the CAT signal correctly on the COM-2 of RRC (Control).
Now I need also to drive with the CAT (on the radio side)  the RS-232 antenna switch, so I've tried to get the CAT on the RRC COM-1 setting it in mode 7 (CAT to COM2  local&remote).
My expectation were to get an RS-232 CAT signal on COM1 on both RRCs radio and control but is not working. I'm sure that the previous set up based on TS-480 was working that way and the linear amplifier (SPE 1K-FA) was connected to the RRC radio to get the CAT from the tranceiver through  COM1.
What am I doing wrong ?
Thanks for suggestions.
