General discussion forum / Will Heathkit electronic keyer work with remoterig and 706?

« on: 2011-11-19, 22:08:21 »

Hi all - Considering trying CW with my remoterig setup (706 mkiig).  I have an old Heathkit HD-1410 electronic keyer (http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/808).  Will an electronic keyer work with the remoterig, which also acts as an electronic keyer?  Any help/settings would be appreciated if it's possible for it to work.

Thanks!
- Dave

General discussion forum / Strange characters on 706mkiig faceplate when TX'ing

« on: 2011-10-20, 04:12:08 »

When I'm using my 706mkiig remoterig setup on HF, on 80M (that's the only band I've noticed so far), when I'm transmitting, I see random characters come up on the 706 screen and sometimes the screen even flashes.  Any idea what is causing this?  Is it RF getting into the cable between the 706 radio and remoterig box?  If so, can I wrap a ferrite core around it to help?  Any other thoughts/suggestions?

Thanks!

General discussion forum / Very short audio dropout

« on: 2011-10-20, 04:10:23 »

Hi all - when I'm running my Icom 706mkiig remoterig setup, I get very short audio dropouts (less than 1 sec) randomly, no more than once every 30 seconds.  I've tried to bump up the jitter delay/buffer on both sides to 10/8 but I still hear it.  Should I continue increasing this number or is there something else I may be missing?  I see no light change on the remoterig box when the audio dropout happens.

Any help would be appreciated!

General discussion forum / Humming noise through speaker

« on: 2011-10-20, 04:07:31 »

Hi all - I have a remoterig setup using an Icom 706 MKIIG.  On the control side, I have a small speaker plugged into the 706 faceplate in the Phones jack.  If I have the volume all the way down on the Icom, I hear a humming noise through the speaker.  I've tried to use headphones instead and I hear the humming through there as well.

Any suggestions?  Is there a setting or something that may help resolve this?

Thanks!
