Configuration of N1MM with K3 Twins RRC 1258
N2SO:
Hi,
I recently installed a private K3-Remote System using my existing K3 and adding a K3/Ø Mini Control Panel. I have the RRIGSET and all required cables installed. I have tested the system and it appears to work well as I can both hear and control the remote radio and send CW on my straight key plugged into the back of the K3/Ø.
I would like to add the N1MM contest program using windows 10 Lap Top locally with a USB cable running from the USB socket on the front of the RRC to my Lap Top. I have configured both RRCs COM1 to: “Mode-7 CAT to COM2 (local & remote)”. The serial setting for COM1 has been set “Use USB Com Port as COM1” to YES. COM3 (extra) mode has been set to “Mode -8 Winkeyer”.
RRC 1258 Ø (COM 1)
RRC 1258 1(COM 11)
RRC 1258 2 (COM 12)
RRC 1258 3 COMExtra (COM 2)
So far I have been unable to configure N 1MM to communicate with my K3 remote. COM 11 doesn’t work and COM12 produces unsolicited and random CW transmissions. COM2 make no difference. Interestingly, I can use my K3 remote with SKCCLogger with COM2. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

harles,
You must use COM11.
You wrote that you set “Use USB Com Port as COM1” to YES. In that case, are you using the standard USB cable without adapter between the RRC and PC?

N2SO:
Yes, Mitch. At the control I am using a simple USB cable to my PC. No adapter. I do have the Elecraft USB adapter cable on hand which I tried plugging into COM1 on the front of RRC control, but it did not work.
I tried COM11 but it is not recognized by N1MM.

Hi Charles,
Plugging into the K3/0 Mini won't work when using the RRC. You can only use
the RRC.
Then you need to look at the settings in the K3 and N1MM. Make sure that are are
exactly the same baud rate:
- RRC COM1 on both sides
- K3 menu RS232
- N1MM
Again, you need to use COM11.

dj0qn:
Correction: the K3 menu RS232 should match the COM2 settings. COM1 can be a
different setting. It is a must for the COM2, not COM1.
