Hardware, Cabling, Installations / Re: Kenwood radio (ts-590) connected to a SW 1289

I think a 1216S unit is in stock at a local distributor

I guess I can use a 1216S or 1216R. Just changing the TX/RX cables 

Is the P1 connector NOT RS-232 level?

No. You need a 1216R or 1216S cable the have a RS232 interface in the dsub. It can of course be made DIY.  73 de mike

Hardware, Cabling, Installations / Kenwood radio (ts-590) connected to a SW 1289

Hello

Can the P1 connector be directly soldered to a Serial 9pin connector to control the switch from a Kenwood transceiver serial port?

Hi
The Kenwood and ICOM nano app works OK with both IC-7100 and TS-480. Download the latest versions and check your settings you probably have something wrong. Remember that CAT cables and CI-V interfaces are needed and Correct  mode and baudrade must be setup in the Radio-RRC com2 settings. The Radios need to be set to coorect baudrate, not Automatic.

Configuration, RRC 1258 / Re: AF volume problem with K3 twins

« Last post by sm2o on 2024-05-02, 20:18:05 »

Hi

The problem is that the K3/0 does not send automatic volume updates, I told Elecraft about it 10 years ago but it was never changed. Set the volume at the remote K3 to the level you normal use, it will be the default level until you turn the volume knob manaully

Azu has been restored.

The status after restoration is as follows.
Press and hold the reset button to perform a factory reset. I immediately performed another factory reset, reinstalled the firmware, and then unplugged the power for about an hour.

I don't know which one worked, but I couldn't recover with just one factory reset, so I'll post it here just in case.

Before both RRC1258s went bad, there was a phenomenon where it became difficult to connect to the network. I felt like if I turned off the power and then turned it back on, things would go back to normal, but I started noticing that once every three months, then once a month, and then once a week, the intervals at which I had to turn off the power became shorter. I have a personal experience with it.

Feature Requests / I can no longer connect

« Last post by JJ8LNX on 2024-04-29, 05:00:37 »

Not recently, but for about 3 years now, Nano has been unable to connect.
I purchased a paid app for the IC-7100 and TS-480 and was able to use it for a while, but when the coronavirus started to spread, when I tried to connect, it was connected to the network (the radio was turned on) but No voice or control whatsoever. I can't use either application.
My friend also purchased a separate application to remotely control my radio, but it stopped working around the same time.
Around that time, I contacted them via email, but I didn't hear back from them, so I left it alone, but since a failure occurred in another case, I remembered it and would like to write about it here.
I definitely want a reply.

Hardware, Cabling, Installations / Control abnormality

Dear
I can no longer connect to two controls.
When the control is connected to a normal LAN and the power is turned on, the LED usually lights up several times before turning on and allowing access, but there is a phenomenon where the LED keeps blinking forever.

I tried resetting the device and reinstalling the latest firmware just to be sure, but the symptoms persist.
When displayed in Setup Manager, the serial and MAC address are displayed, but the IP address etc. are displayed as "0.0.0.0". There is a possibility that the LAN cable has deteriorated, but it is the same even if it is new.

Although they were used in different environments, it seems that both failures were related to Ethernet. I would like to know what measures are effective for this.

I was using 3 controllers, but now I only have one left. I'm worried that it will break soon.

Thanks Mike for fixing my issue. The baudrate for com0 was not set to 38400. Now it works great.

Configuration, RRC 1258 / AF volume problem with K3 twins

« Last post by N4QS on 2024-04-25, 17:25:40 »

I have been running RemoteRig twin boxes with a mini K3(0) and a remote K3 for many years.  I have always had a problem with the AF volume becoming almost zero whenever I change modes or reconnect the logging program at the control end.  In order to restore volume, I have to turn the AF volume control on the mini down to zero and the back up to its normal position.  The volume is then restored.  Can anyone tell me if this can be fixed with a setting change?  I am wondering if I happen to have some setting not set correctly.  Any other way to fix the problem would also be appreciated.  Thank you.  73,  Dave, N4QS
