Hi Dan,

yes, the the PTT IN signal could probably be transported via the I/O port. However, if I understand correctly some lines are already occupied. Additionally you would need some sort of PTT matrix as the amp also needs keying.

I didn't look into this.

Hi Dan,

Sorry, I don't have a drawing of the cable. Just the basic version which is shown above.

You need a cable for each radio. On one side (u2R) you have a DB-9 connector. On the other side you have different connectors. It basically a 3 to 1 cable as the DB-9 cable is joined with three different cables.

• Ethernet-cable (RJ-45) => RRC I/O port as per RemoteRig manual for CW
• Ethernet cable (RJ-45) => RRC AUX/MIC port as per RemoteRIG manual for MIC and PTT
• Stereo headphone jack => Headphone port of TRX for received audio

Unfortunately I can't show you a foto as everything is wired and I don't want to rip it apart.

The RRC does not supply a "PTT-out". But if you are using the microham SO2R protocoll, TRX switching will be done by the controller respectively the logging software.

The setup has only tested with CW and SSB. I didn't bother about RTTY. Theoretically it should also be possible to get this running as well.

I am using the u2R Winkey-Port. The RRC is connected by the 3 to 1 cable mentioned above. CW is keyed by the u2R (with proper sequencing) via RRC I/O port.

Hi guys,

I use the following setup.



Hope this helps and the schematics is understandable. It really doesn't matter which type of TRX you are using. If you can operate it remotely it'll work. Preferably some "native" remote TRX like TS-480, K3 etc.

I can't confirm the USB issues mentioned by Martin, DL4NAC. So far CW keying has been reliable. Voice keyer operation also works very nicely.
