Remote Rig

Newbie here. Just bought a used K3/0 and RRC-1258MKII set and can't get the K3/0 to talk to my K3.
My issue: when I turn on the K3/0 I get a "busy signal" (three tone sequence). No connection to the K3.
What I did:
Downloaded latest firmware for both the K3 and the K3/0 - MCU 4.6 (although K3/0 showed error loaded DSP which I assume is correct).
Downloaded latest Microbit Setup Manager - installed OK and connects to either box OK via USB. Radio settings set according to Elecraft K3/0 manual.
Connected both boxes to my router using ethernet cable - green PWR light steady on both boxes
Used web browser to connect directly to K3 (remote) box - URL is http:..192.168.10.17:8085 - seemed to work AOK
Used browser to connect directly to K3/0 (control) box - URL is http://192.168.10.16:8084 - seemed to work AOK
Turned on both radios and both act like a normal K3 - I can change bands, modes, etc on each radio INDEPENDENTLY - i.e. the K3/0 has no effect on the K3 (or vice versa). And I get a continuous "busy signal" coming from the K3/0 RRC-1258MkII box. The busy signal stops if I turn the K3/0 off.
Very frustrated. Any help greatly appreciated. TIA and 73, Ron N6EE

You have forgot to change the SIP contact to 192.168.10.17. The control-RRC must know to "whom he should make the call"

Yes, that was OK. It was the password which had a 0 (zero) in the control setup and should have had an O (oh). Now they talk - Wahoo! That is, the K3/0 turns the K3 on and the K3 follows all the K3.0 commands.
BUT... now I get a pulsing audio in the control radio - not a steady audio stream. Sounds like some sort of feedback loop. Same on all bands and modes. I tried plugging headphones into the K3/0 control radio (front or rear) and I hear the same thing in the headphones. Tried setting Vox Gain to zero. No effect. Radio is tuning OK and I can sort of hear stations as I tune them in, but the pulsating audio makes it impossible to copy - same on either SSB or CW.
Any suggestion? And THANKS for your quick reply to my earlier posting. I appreciate it!

Found the problem with audio pulsing - I have one box set for Audio Quality 2 and for some unknown reason the other box Audio Quality set to 8. Duh.
Working on LAN. Now to tackle over the Internet. Wish me luck :)

Ok Great
You can use different codecs but they nust have the same sample rate.

Ron,
It may be too late for you, but I can send you my networking and/or CAT and low bandwidth checklist(s)
if you send me a short mail to dj0qn (at) darc.de. This has helped over 100 people to get their RRC's to
work properly.
