I have a working RRC setup with my IC-7000.
Now I would like to start playing with digital modes like PSK.
Now I could make up a RJ45 for the computer but this makes two problems:
1)you need to keep switching the mic and computer connectors
and
2)possible distortion converting digital to analog and back to digital.
Is there any other way to connect audio to the control box?Is the USB port serial only? Can I have a third-party conversation with the SIP connection?
Thanks, 73

General discussion forum / Troubleshoot missing Mic audio

I have a recently purchased  1258 set.
I am handicapped and live in a apartment.  The remote is about an hour away and impossible for me to get to without lots of kindness by oyhers.

While assembling the remote station in my spsrtment, all tests went well. I had local QSOs and finally signed off on moving and install.

The problem now is that the sudio no longer makes it from the mic to the modulator. The rig still transmits but there is no modulation on sny mode or band.

Is there any way to test either of the boxes? Can I have my computer send a tone to the remote rig? Can the desktop box open a port on my computer for "Testing 1,2,3..."? This way I will knoe where to begin.

Hardware, Cabling, Installations / Troubleshooting RRC-1258 MkII with IC-7000

« on: 2014-12-11, 07:04:45 »

Hello, all.

I have a new 1258 MK II set that I have configured for Generic Icom CI-V.
I will be using BKT-7000 for CAT.

I am trying to trouble soot the fact that the status pages say they are talking to each other but neither do I have working PTT or audio.

The status pages say:
Connection status   OK
SIP status   Connected/transfering
Last SIP error   None
RTP status   Excellent(60)
UDP cmd status   OK(28)

I have checked the software configurations and strapping several times.

No audio comes out of the speaker and when I hold the PTT on the mike and click the status ling for either unit I read that PTT is OFF.

Being disabled I don;t have many options for using diagnostic equipment but would appreciate getting a direction to start looking in.

TIA
