Title: PC-Client Questions
Post by: k6biv on 2010-07-22, 20:25:05

Hello All:

I got my PC-Client the other day.

I got it to connect to my RRC on the radio side.

The PTT does not seem to work..

Do I need HRD or another PC client to use RRC-Micro?

Someone said I do NOT need any RS232 connection from the "radio RRC" to the radio. Is this correct?

Can I leave the control head on and connected to the radio RRC, while I use the RRC-Micro?

Can I control the radio from the radio head, while the RRC-Micro is connected? And will the RRC-Micro user be able to work the radio, when I change frequencies with the radio head?

Thanks,

Tim

Hi

You don't say what kind of radio you are using. I guess it is a TS-480.

Yes you need a software like HamRadioDeLuxe(HRD) to control the radio

When using the RRC-Micro you must use the RS232 port on the TS-480. HRD or other control programs can not handle the control panel protocol.

You can not have more than one SIP-connection up at the time. Either the Control RRC or the Micro RRC.

Hello Mike:

Thanks and Yes I am using a TS-480.

I will be going to the mountain next week and I will interface the TS-480 with the RS232.
