Hardware, Cabling, Installations / K3 with Signalink or soundcard

« on: 2013-05-07, 21:35:30 »

If I want to use a Signalink with the RR and a K3 ... can I use a regular CAT5 patch cable to from the AUX/MIC port to the Signalink port? or is there a specific pinout that I need to do? And how do I set something like DM780 to PTT? use HRD or let the Signalink handle that?

And if I want to just get audio to and from the RR box to the laptop, can I just use a CAT5 cable to mono plug from the RR AUX/MIC to the laptop speaker? Would it be just PIN3=TIP and PIN4-SLEEVE? and then a stereo plug from RR SPK to laptop mic?

What other offers of advice for using the RR with the K3 this way? (not using K/0). Any special settings in the menu / config? ie ... PTT setting for DTR / RTS etc ....

Configuration, RRC 1258 / Elecraft KPA500

« on: 2012-10-26, 02:28:02 »

I want to control a KPA500 amp using COM1 on the RRC. I have a standard serial cable from the KPA500 PC port to the Radio RRC COM1 and the a standard serial cable from RRC Radio COM1 to my PC COM15. I have tried several settings for COM1 in the Serial Settings of the web interface but have yet to get my PC to talk to the KPA500. Can anyone tell me what those settings should be?

Thanks,

Do I understand that you can use an ft-450 to control an ft-2000? or do the radios need to match?

Configuration, RRC 1258 / Ten Tec Omni VII

« on: 2012-08-04, 19:34:08 »

I am trying to get the O7 connected... I have used other radios before but can't really find much useful information on rr and ten tec.... I am using the program 4 they seems to be somewhat generict in flavor and have strapped the boxes using a yaesu configuration, but I still can't get serial communication. Audio works ok.

Can someone give me details on a setup for a ten tec radio please?
I need the proper strapping, serial setting and any other details you can think of.

Thanks,

General discussion forum / Antenna Switch Information Needed

« on: 2012-06-20, 20:51:53 »

At my remote site I need a solution to be able to remotely select one of three antenna's. I am assuming that I would need the Webswitch but beyond that I don't know where to go. For instance, I didn't know if I could use something like the Ameritron RCS-4 in a modified way to allow it to work ... I don't need the switch to be outside, I can have it right at the control spot where the Webswitch will be located. Can someone please point me to a product that will allow me to choose an antenna from a web interface?

General discussion forum / Hardware Versions

« on: 2012-05-10, 13:26:44 »

I am interested in knowing the differences in hardware versions and capabilities, specifically between the DualRX versions ... at this point can a hardware version 5 do everything that a version 6 and 7 can or are there specific limitations as new things are introduced? I am asking because I am getting ready to purchase and was thinking of purchasing a used set but it appears that it is the hardware version 5 and I dont want to buy something that is outdated. Thanks for any insight in this matter.
