General discussion / Windows 11 not recognizing 1247B

« on: 2022-04-29, 01:47:33 »

I've been using the 1247B successfully for a number of years.
All of a sudden, when I connect the 1247B to my microsoft surface pro 6, with Windows 11, it is not showing up as a sound device.

I tried the same device with my Dell Desktop, and Windows 11, and it works fine.

Sound device setup with Windows can be a challenge.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

General discussion forum / RC1216H Port Issue

« on: 2020-08-02, 20:55:05 »

I've been able to set up the RC1216H to work with my Expert 1.3K amp and it works fine internally.  I am not able to access it through my firewall.  My remote rig uses port 80, and I understand that I probably need a separate port for the 1216H, but do not know how to set that up.  Or perhaps I have a different issue that I'm not aware of.

Configuration, Webswitch 1216H / RC 1216 with Expert 1.3 non connecting

« on: 2020-04-26, 16:40:47 »

I just installed a new RC1216H for the purpose of remote control of my Expert 1.3 amp.  I had purchased the cable from Expert when I bought the amp a few years ago.
Installation of the RC1216 seems to be working, and I'm showing the screen for the amp, with a flashing green light.  But I have no response when I connect the cable to the amp.  I've re-read instructions for both the amp com port and the RC 1216.  Can't figure out what I'm doing incorrectly.  Wondering if I have a bad cable.

General discussion forum / Control won't connect to wifi

« on: 2020-01-08, 01:36:38 »

I've successfully used remote rig for three years in all configurations. IC7100, laptop, and most often my android phone.  The system works fine with my nano app on the Pixel3, but recently it will not work with the control head and wifi.

I normally use the control head via wifi, usually with my Verizon cellphone on wifi hotspot.  This has been a great option for mobile operation.  I hadn't used the unit in a few months, and now it will not connect to wifi.  It scans and identifies the hotspot when using the setup manager, and sees my hotspot, my  home wifi network as well as printers, etc.  But, it will not connect to the remote ddns server using the Verizon hotspot, nor will it connect to my local wifi using 192.168.1.228.  The system works fine when I connect the control head via ethernet to the router, which is also connected to the base unit. 192.168.1.227 connecting to 192.168.1.228 (base unit).   I think I've tested all options.  Suggestions would be appreciated.

Configuration of Routers, Firewalls, etc / Local network firewall problem

« on: 2019-06-06, 21:23:11 »

My ADSL router was recently reset.  I've managed to open up the proper ports, and remote rig is working well with one strange exception.
I can only access remote rig from outside of my local/home network.  Using the Android app, I can operate the station when wifi on the phone is turned off, and I access via Verizon Wireless.  Works fine.  And if I'm away, I can also access via whatever wifi is available.
But when I'm home, I cannot connect via wifi. I've tried two different wifi routers, with no success.  Remote rig is connected via ethernet to my DSL modem, as is my Google wifi router.
Prior to this, I was able to access my remote rig on my home wifi network.
Would hope someone can advise.

General / Icom RRC Nano "license expired"

« on: 2018-01-11, 19:25:33 »

Ive been using the RRC Icom nano app very successfully for almost a year.  All of a sudden, when I try to connect, I get a message "license expired".  Has there been a change to the "unlimited" license?

General discussion / RRC Micro and Commcat rig control

« on: 2017-12-30, 22:39:14 »

I've been using HRD as rig control with RRC Micro and Icom 7100 at the base.
I've tried to use Commcat, but cannot connect.
Any suggestions, if this is possible?
Thanks

Hardware, Cabling, Installations / Control unit won't connect to internet

« on: 2017-09-11, 20:08:07 »

I've successfully setup the RRC1258 MkII with my Icom 7100, with wifi, and it worked well all summer.  All of a sudden, I cannot get an internet connection either with an ethernet cable connection or via wifi.  Wifi sets up and I'm successfully seeing my wifi network. 
When I connect both the control head and the base unit directly to the dsl rounter, it works just fine, even when I'm logging in via ______.ddns.remoterig.com  rather than directly to 192.168.1.128.
I'm wondering if I actually have a failure in the control head unit.

PS - works great with the Nano app and my google pixel phone, as well as via my laptop and the soundcard. Now I just can't use it with the remote head of the IC 7100

General discussion / PSK and FT8 with PC Client

« on: 2017-08-18, 15:00:15 »

I am using PC Client with the "B" connector and Ham Radio Deluxe to operate my remote IC7100.  Receiving PSK is great, but I can't figure out how to key the transmitter.  What is the role of the "red" button?
I wonder if anyone has figured out how to operate the new FT8 mode using PC Client?
Thanks
