Hi Simon,
as I wrote before I can not switch any function from my control head of
the IC706. The "click" comes from from the power relay in the 706 body.
Anyway, I got exchange boxes and everything works except CW.
Do the cw-settings in the control head affect the keyer settings of the controler?
I used the paddle input of the controler-but no cw transmit.
Are any more changes in the controler setup necessary to get cw working?

Hello Mike,
thanks for your advice.
I have checked the jumpers and settings again. When I configure with the
web-interface there is no status indication on the controler site, all other
options are ok. On the bottom of the screen appears "empty page".
Finally I checked the signals on the red jumpers of both units with a scope.
Only DC voltages are there ! RX line -1.8v, TX line -4v.
The only function is the "relay click" when pushing ON on the controler.
Both units are right out of the box and new (christmas gift). Serial nr. is 3236 (controler) and 3232(remote) Firmware 2.28.
The Remote Kit is from a German dealer.
When investigating the controler I saw some strange soldering joints around
the two 33ohm resistors on the left side of the pc-board.

I am using a 706 MK2g with Remote Rig.
When I connect the Control Head and the TRX with the prepaired cables an the
adapter everything works.
Connecting Control Head and TRX via both RRC units display stays dark
and no switching from the control head is possible.
When pushing the ON button I hear a relay click in my TRX and the
yellow LED on both RRC turns on.
Data transfer seems to be ok because green LED blinks always.
8Volt on panel side are ok but no funktion at all.
Where is my mistake?
