Hi agn

It does not replace the cable, what i mean is that the system in this mode are not sending any messages created by it self or removing any messages sent by HRD for example. In the case with TS-480 the RRC switch on the the TS-480 if you have set it in the TS-480 mode (5) for using the control panel. Then we know there is a TS-480 connected and can handle it in  a separate way. If you set it up in mode 4 it will not know if there is a FT-2000 or a TS-480 connected and the on/off switching is up to the PC-software to handle. Of course there should be possible to make the firmware in the way you can select what radio you have connected and then send the switch on command automatically when the SIP-connection is up. But I don't know why HRD  don't do it with FT-2000 if does with other rigs ?

To make things clear, the RRC-Micro and the RRC  do not add, remove or interfere it just opens up a channel for the PC-progrsm like HRD to communicate with the radio. So it´s up to the software and the radio to handle this things

Hi
Check the red straps first to see that they are in the right positions then with an ohmmeter to confirm that none of them are broken.

Yes you can use an external keyer if you connect it as a straight key, The keyer should be activated anyway

First. I don't know why FT-2000 is not switched on and off by HRD, both FT-950 and FT-5000 that i have used is no problem and they use the same protocol, maybe someone who has the FT-2000 can tell.
About the other PC-softwares I think we have done what can be done in our end to make it work. At least some of them uses old serialport drivers which will not accept the virtual comports without replacing them with more modern ones. For the TRX-manager we have good hope because we are talking with the developer and both we and him know what he need to do, to make it work. The DF3CB program I have never heard about, maybe we can do something together if we get in contact with him. The softwares from Yaesu I do not think we can do anything about, we just have to wait and see if they comes with an update of some other reason. I don't know what you mean about being honest, we are saying that it works with HRD and we do our best to make it work with others also.  We have spending several hundreds of hours testing different approaches but when you can not do debuging from both ends it's very difficult. But we will continue to follow the different softwares, and if there is an opening we will do what we can to make it work.

Hi

There is no diffrnce in the firmware, it's only the manual which is adjusted, the pin numbering of the I/O connector was wrong.

The connection to the TS-480 and to the Prosistel are using the same serial port in the Webswitch but the protocols are totally different so it will not be possible to connect them in parallell

Hi

We have not tested to control a FT9000 from a FT-2000. Maybe there is someone out there who have done it ?

The webswitch 1216H supports DCU-1 protocol which also the Yaesu rotators with the RS-232 interfce does. Proably it's also possible to use our analog rotator interface 1216L but then you have to open the controlbox and connect it inside there.

Hi

Yes the I/O connector was numbered wrong before in the manual, We changed it and I forgot to inform about it.
Sorry for the trouble it caused.

Hej

Det går inte, det krävs ett speciellt anpssningkort även till MkII, se manualen.

Im sure the connection works we are many who use that cable, but you must have the pwr cable connected to the RRC otherwise the it will start as you say. When not powered the output will leak enough current for the high imp input in the K3 to be activated.

Hi

If you look at the new manual at page 169 you can see cable E3c. If you make the PWR on cable like the E3c and you set Out0 mode in the Radio-RRC to "connect" then the K3 will start when you connect with the "connect" button on the status page. There is no way to switch off the K3 by hardware so the PC-software must send the switch off command when you want to switch off.

The clunk you are talking about when release the PTT is the monitor signal from your own transmission which is delayed over the internet. If you are in SSB mode set the K3 monitor to 0 (CMP PWR knob pushed 2 sec) then the clunk will disapear.
