Title: radio on tx without powered remoterig
Post by: hb9edm on 2010-03-25, 08:13:11

Hello!

My setup:
remoterig MKII and FT2000


When I turn on the radio at the remote side (manual operation) with the remoterig attached (mic + audio) but NOT powered, the radio begin TX. When I power on the remoterig the radio stop tx and it can be used normally.

All the system works on LAN.

Is it a normal situation?

Best regards

Did you check disconnecting the mic-cable or the rs-232-cable alternating- any influence on the problem? There could be two reasons:

1. some of the TX/RX are switching to transmit-mode when some pins of the rs-232-interface are going high or low, on some of them you can stop that function in the menu-settings.

2. unwanted PTT-activation is done via mic-cable, this could be a soft- or hardware-issue of the box.

Hope this will help!
