HRD not connecting via virtual UDP comm port

(1/4) > >>

w4tx:
New RRC1258MkII with firmware updated to v2.21

New RRC-Micro PC-Client v1.0.10 32 bit

Rig is a Yaesu FT-897

CAT cable is a Yaesu CT-62 connected to COM2 of the RRC1258MkII. COM2 is set to mode 3 - char timeout. Speed is 9600. JMP-3 is installed inside the RRC-1258MkII.

HRD is the latest version 5 beta. It sees the virtual port but will not work at any baud rate. The CAT speed at the radio is 9600.

From reading another post, I uninstalled HRD and the PC-Client. I made sure all virtual COM ports were removed, then re-installed the PC-Client and HRD. The UDP virtual port is the lowest (COM3), and the only one on the laptop. But, still no connection. I also tried a second laptop with the same result. Both laptops are running Windows XP, fully updated.

This is being tested on a local LAN using the default ports. No router or internet connection is used at this point.

Any ideas for more things to check and test would be appreciated.

Try first to connect the ct-62 cable to the TS-480
and check if HRD is working OK
If not check my drawings for correct pin numbers on com2

Thanks for the tip Guy.

HRD does connect to the radio when directly connected with the CT-62 cable and a USB to serial converter.

Hi Doc,

sri my mistake was TS-480 instead of FT897D

so in short it looks like this ?
HRD
virtual udp port 2 (com-x)

LAN or WAN

RRC-1258MKII
COM2 = DB9-MALE
then CT62(RS232) to FT897d

probably you need to change pin 2 and 3 at the ct62 connector

or you could try to use COM1 instead of COM2

Hi Guy,

You are correct with the setup except one thing. And, I think that is the problem. I have the virtual upd port 0 set up, not port 2. But the CT-62 is plugged on to COM2. I will change that and report back.


Thanks and 73!
