TS-480 Freezes..

(1/4) > >>

N4ARV:
I am using a Kenwood TS-480 and it works great for a couple of hours then it freezes with power and no audio or control over any buttons. During the hour of working with it I get some audio drops ((Barley Noticable)). My Wifi signal strength where RRC-Radio is located ((Over Wifi)) is a -60 to -67dBm which should be OK for this application. My RX Jitter Buffer size is ((4)) Jitter Delay is ((3)) and Audio Packet Size is ((20)). Is there something I can do to prevent this from occurring so I can have non stop delays using the RemoteRig?

You will need to do a lot of testing to figure out the problem. Use the process of elimination to
determine what the problem is not and go from there.

I first suggest that you move the control RRC to another location and see if the problem occurs. It
may be at the control location and not at the radio location. Once you have determined which side
it is on, then you need to see what is causing the problem.

Look at the RRC's status page to see if there is an error message when the problem occurs. Sometimes
this will tell you which port is causing the problem. Changing that port may solve the problem.

Often it is a bad router or other devices in the network that are causing the problem. Only by using
the process of elimination and first taking all possible problem causes out of the equation will allow
you to narrow down where the problem is.

The only thing I can tell you for sure is that you are looking at the wrong culprit; the problem is with your
network and not with your RRC or its settings. These settings will allow you to partially compensate for a bad
network connection, but they will never solve them.

Good luck and let us know how you are doing.

N4ARV:
Thanks for the reply Mitch. I was totally focused on the Radio side and not control side. This morning I unplugged the Ethernet plug from Control RRC and tried it with just WiFi ((solid signal)) and audio seems to break more often. Noticed the UDP cmnd status says “OK (45)” and not “Excellent (60)” like the RTP status. Could that be the issue? It has to be something minor because it does work just with this slight problem. Love the RemoteRig! I’m finally back on the air here at home! Thanks for your help Mitch! It’s appreciated by all on forum.

dj0qn:
I would suggest trying it from a different location. Both WiFi and ethernet will go over the same
router, so you should try someone else's router. There is always a possibility that the problem lies
at the control end.

At least that way you know for sure which side and can focus on locating the culprit.

Maybe I should explain my setup. I have the Radio RRC a few miles away. Main Radio and Radio RRC is inside shed next to house and is connected to router via WiFi with a -62-67dbm signal strength. The Control RRC is located at home QTH. Both RRC’s are being run on same “Frontier” Internet Service but have different routers of the same brand. Wonder if the UDP cmnd status being just “ok” (44-45) is the problem?
