Configuration, RRC 1258 / Trouble Maintaining HRD CAT Connection
« on: 2011-08-09, 01:17:57 »
Not sure if this discussion should be in the "Configuration, RRC 1258" section or in another section, so please correct me if this is the wrong area.
Equipment:
RRC1258 MkII (Firmware updated to v2.41 on Control and Radio RRC)
ICOM IC-746Pro
All running connected to internal network
HRD v5
First off, thanks to RemoteRig for a great product that has been fun to set up and will be a great experience to operate.
I've been trying to set this up in my internal network before testing remotely and have not had success with one aspect - maintaining a connection with HRD to the radio.
Here's what I mean: the configuration of the RRCs has been successful and connection from HRD to the radio can be successfully established. I have made and connected the CI-V cable (RJ11 port) and AUX/MIC cable (RJ45 port) from the Remote RRC to the radio. The speaker jack on the radio is connected to the Radio RRC speaker jack.
On the Control RRC end, I am using the USB connection as a virtual COM port. HRD reads the virtual COM port as COM5. BAUD rate from hardware to radio all set to 19200. A speaker is connected to the Control RRC speaker jack. The microphone is connected to the Control RRC via the RJ45 connection.
When logging into the Control RRC and establishing a connection with the Radio RRC, everything is flawless. Audio from the radio comes through the Control RRC end immediately and flawlessly. The microphone works great and push to talk works and keys the transmitter almost immediately (.5 second delay).
Launching HRD and establishing a connection via the virtual COM port works almost instantaneously. I have just been fiddling with changing frequencies on the HRD end and here's where the strange behavior comes in - everything works great for about 1 minute and then the HRD connection to the radio seems to experience super lag. A single frequency digit change takes 10 seconds to register on the radio and the HRD display refuses to update until the radio changes frequency. It seems that HRD is waiting on the radio to respond.
The other clue is that once I disconnect HRD from the radio, I can not re-establish a connection. Shutting down HRD and trying again fails every time. The only way to re-establish a connection with the radio is to restart the Control RRC. I don't need to restart HRD. Once the Control RRC restarts and I re-establish a connection with the Radio RRC, HRD connection is established immediately and everything is fine for about one minute. Repeat.
Lastly, once the frequency changes fail to track from HRD to the radio, the PTT no longer works. The receive audio never experiences any delay or hiccups.
This makes me believe there is something going on in the Control RRC, possibly with one of my settings.
I am very excited to get this to work and have been impressed to no end with the quality of audio and ease of setup. I am so close and have this last hurdle to overcome, so if there's any suggestions, please let me know!
Thanks so much in advance for your help!
