FT857D connects and turns off after 3 seconds
« on: 2019-04-15, 22:19:57 »
RRC-1258 MKII   I had has a problem connecting with RRC-micro so brought  the remote radio home and connected on the LAN  to test.

The 857 connects on the LAN from the "home"1258, the detached  857 front panel lights up, all digits and frequency correct. Alas, this only last three seconds and the "remote" 875 clicks off.  I can turn back on again and it occurs again.

So far:

1 The 857D works as normal with panel attached.
2  All plugs sockets OK
3  Separate powers supply for RPCs changed anyway in case a power supply problem.
4  Reset RPCs and even put firmware back update.

 857 connects  but after 3 seconds clicks off.

What am I missing? its there some silly setting I am missing or not got incorrect?

Gerry,

One question that isn't clear from your posting: are the radio RRC and 857 running from the same
power supply, or two different ones?

Sorted much to my embarrassment.  Wrong protocol used in Radio setup.
