Hardware, Cabling, Installations / CAT Interface for Kenwood TS480?

« on: 2024-02-15, 12:02:10 »

Moin,

I'm able to use my remote TS480 (SSB, Digimode via VOX). What I miss: The CAT Interface. Is there any way to use the RRC-1258 MkII for this 2nd task?

General discussion forum / TS480 starts now no longer

« on: 2022-02-05, 13:36:49 »

Moin,

I am still setting up my remote station, the devices are still next to each other on the table in the same network. I was done with the jumpers and the wire bridges, CW and microphone were already working last week.

Today I wanted to continue, but the TRX can no longer be switched on.

Troubleshooting:

The two RRC1258MkII are connected (using autoconnect)
Shack-Side:
Status
Name   Value
P5.4   ON
Radio   OFF
Connection status   OK
SIP status   Connected/transfering
Last SIP error   None
RTP status   Excellent(60)
UDP cmd status   OK(20)

Radio-Side:
Name   Value
P5.2   OFF
Connection status   OK
SIP status   Connected/transfering
Last SIP error   None
RTP status   Excellent(60)
UDP cmd status   OK(45)

That brings me to the first question: What does this P5.2 stand for? It's off.

If I try to turn on the TS480, nothing happens. If I pull off the 6-pin cable to the control panel and connect it to the 6-pin cable on the TS480 itself using an adapter, the TS480 can be switched on and off. Then even the microphone works - that is, via the SIP connection.

When I connect the 6-pin cable from the RRC 1258 MkII radio to the TS480, I hear a faint click in the TS480 control panel.

But that's all. Am I doing something wrong? Have I forgotten something important to do since last week?

Thanks for hints.
