Configuration, RRC 1258 / CW sidetone too loud

« on: 2023-07-30, 22:19:31 »

Anyone know how to adjust the cw side tone volume on the control box? Way too loud with my headphones plugged into the SP jack

Thanks,

Jan, thanks for your help. The problem was indeed a corrupted USB driver and a bug in the BIOS of my PC. I apologize for taking up your time, but you did get me back on the air. Thanks!!

A follow-on to my previous msg. Attached is a screen shot of the dev mgr after a reboot. Note the multiple instances and com ports created that are unrelated to RRC.

I reinstalled SM without uninstalling it beforehand. Plugged the RRC into the PC and ran the info program. Log is attached. Same behavior as previously.

To answer your question, SM was not installed on the other machine. Windows simply started looking online for the correct device driver. The problem PC, where RRC has worked for years, does not recognize that there is a new device plugged in and does nothing.

Yes, none of the ports show up when I plug the RRC into the PC, even with "show hidden devices on" and also set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1. The new program you sent ran fine. Log is attached. Afterward, I plugged the RRC into the PC and nothing was recognized. I rebooted and tried again, but nothing happened. (Setup Mgr was not installed at the time.) I installed Setup Mgr 1.25 and still when I plugged the RRC into the PC, nothing showed up.

I tried to install this RRC on another 64-bit WIN PC and that worked fine, so it seems the box is OK.

Firmware version is 2.72 and s/n = 2976. I'm not sure which version of setup manager was installed previously. I think is was 1.17. Attached are the logs.

I just installed this version of the USB drivers and now my 64-bit WIN7 PC no longer recognizes the remoterig. No virtual serial ports appear when I plug the USB cable into the PC. No hidden ports. I've tried restarting everything.

Thanks for any help,

General discussion forum / Mic selection--Heil Goldline

« on: 2011-02-11, 20:39:37 »

I'm trying to use a Heil Goldline in the remote location. Rig is an IC7800. Even with codec input gain set at 63 and the rig's mic gain at 100%, modulation is weak. Based on other posts to this forum, I've left the input preampoff.

In addition, there is a loud noise that sounds like a blower. I've tried audio quality setting 11, but it makes no difference. Noise is present even when the mic is disconnected, so it is not coming from the cable or the mic itself. It is coming from RRC itself. Could it be introduced by RRC because of the full-on setting of the input gain? Or is something else an issue. Receive audio, PTT and CW are all great.

Anyone had this experience? I wonder if there are certain mic characteristics that are required by RRC? What's the best mic for the remote location?

Thanks,

Bob, N7IP
