Title: Does RRC provides VCC con control unit
Post by: EA1HET on 2018-02-10, 00:23:28

Hi there,

I started a thread on the general forum and after researching a bit I think I may be close to the root of the issue. The question here is: Does the RRC control unit (the one I have close to my FT-857D frontal) provides VCC (+5V) on the RJ45 connector (labeled AUX/MIC) ?

Thanks in advance.
Best regards,

Jonathan

No only 8 or 9V for the frontpanel power

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the clarification. Any configuration option, internal mod or jumper change that can allow me to get that +5VCC in the RJ45 connector?

Thanks in advance.

I submitted a feature request for the same OR if remoterig will manufacture a small in line adapter box to provide required voltage on proper pins.

We could home brew such but would be nice if it is already manufactured.
