Title: Can't use TX with RRC-1258MkIIs Yaesu Twin
Post by: DXfor.me on 2012-09-24, 13:45:53
Hi there, trying to find a similar problem on the forum, but not yet found.

I've tryed to configure with the RRC-1258MkIIs Yaesu Twin for a FT450D as a RCC for a FT2000

It worked like a charm, to change frequency, switch to Split, and other few things, but I didn't success to use the TX on the Control-RCC.

I've tried to connect on the Control-RCC :
- The FT2000's microphone using the cable adaptator (the one provided in the original package)
- The FT450D's microphone without using any adaptator (same connector as the one on the Control-RCC)
- To use the Digital Voice Player included in the FT450 to force the TX to switch on TX

Until know, I've never been able to see the FT2000 nor the FT450D to switch on TX with any microphone.

I read the manual again, and the only thing I'm worried about is the Red LED remains OFF, despite the Yellow (Orange) One remain ON.

Did I made something wrong ? Do I need to configure something else ?

Thanks a lot for your help...

The FT-2000 mic connected via the adaptor cable to the RRC should work. You can read status on the RRC status page to see if it react on PTT, you should also regognize that the speaker audio is muted when pressing the PTT. The Yellow LED on and Red Off is normal. Check that the small jumper boards inside the RRCs are in place.

I've sent you (using SMF-in-mail feature) a mail with some pictures. I've tried both position for Jumper 5, and all others jumper are in place.

Just to be sure ton understand well, it means, I remain on TX, I refresh the status page, and I should see if it reacted or not ?

Thanks agn
