General discussion forum / Control end wont boot when IN0 is active

« on: 2012-02-18, 00:52:53 »

Hi

A have a configuration where i would like to control a antenna relay with a Switch on IN0 on the control end.
When the switch is active and power is connected to the RRC 1258 MK2 control end - the unit does not boot, and is not active on the USB port nor ethernet.
If the switch is inactive the units starts normaly.

I run the latest firmware 2.54 with a Yaesu 857 with front detached.

I also think my menus look old (without gray background), and does not always load propperly. Is this due to an old bootloader? Can this be upgraded?
Serial no is below 3000.

Hardware, Cabling, Installations / Yaesu 857

« on: 2012-02-07, 12:08:44 »

I have been working on the cabeling for the 857, and i wonder why it was adopted in the manual for connection off the controlpanel to the TTL connector insted of making a Y-cable spillter for controlpanel and mic - this would make the modification obsolete. Is the data signal level not the same on those two (mic/aus and ttl) when strapped correctly inside?
So is it possible to make cableling outside the remoterig boxes to avoid modification inside, besides straps?
