Configuration, RRC 1258 / Re: RRC-1258 configured for K3 cycles every 30 minutes

.Unfortunately I am not set up to do that.
Is there anyone else out there who has experienced this recycling?

Come on guys. You designed his equipment. Can someone tell me if there is a fix for this? Is it caused by hardware or software? How can I test to see?
It is hardware 07 and firmware 2.65. It is quite annoying when this occurs during operating times.

Configuration, RRC 1258 / RRC-1258 configured for K3 cycles every 30 minutes
« on: 2012-11-17, 15:34:58 »
I have RRC-1258 which is configured for k3. If it has nothing plugged into it, except for power. Almost exactly 30 minutes after it is powered on I see the lights on the front panel over AUXMIC blink. This happens every 30 minutes as if it it is restarting. Power supply is Astron. Is there a reason for this?

Maybe this is the place to interject a nice thing that I would like to see.
Just ignore this post if if is way off subject.
The Rotor graphic allows one to put in three digits for rotation from the keyboard.
DXLABS suite of programs is commonly used, and has a program DXVIEW that supplies the three digits when a spot from DXLABS Spotter is double clicked.
It would be great if this doubleclick caused the value from DXVIEW to be put into the window for the rotor. Then one would just click GO for the rotation to take place. So a programming interface is needed to allow DXVIEW to put the value into the window just as if it had come from the keyboard.

The rotor interface graphic allows one to enter the direction for rotation.
The DX View application of DXLABS suite gives the short and long path for an antity that you have clicked on in DX View.
It would be great if someone made the short path be automatically inserted into the rotor interface graphic.
Maybe some brilliant person will give this a look.

Is there a programatic interface one can use to communicate with the software that generates the rotor graphic?

General discussion forum / 12v Power Supply Precaution
« on: 2012-10-27, 15:50:17 »
I use a hefty open frame relay to turn on the majority of the AC to my station at the antenna farm. This controls the power supply for the transceiver, automatic antenna switch, rotor, etc. And another open frame relay is used to turn on AC for the ACOM. I was experiencing hum in the audio at the control location, particularly when I turned on the ACOM power relay. It was not a killer, just an aggrivation. I found the hum was eliminated when I used a quality power source to supply the 12v used for the relay coils.
I had been using a 1 amp power brick. I switched to a small Astron supply which I keep on all the time to supply wakeup voltages as well as coil voltages. Use a quality filtered source for your coil supply voltages.

Configuration of Routers, Firewalls, etc / Re: wireless connect to router
« on: 2012-09-07, 18:56:13 »
I think I tried the WCNE2001 a couple of months ago. I could not get to work beyond about 10 meters. Did I get a bad unit? Is your wireless between rooms and how far?

At the control end, I am asking for best reccomendation -- how to interface to my router wirelessly. It is about 60 feet away in another building.

Related topics:
1. I am testing now K3-K3 both 1258s connected to a router.
With only the 1258 plugged into the home rs232, all is well - k3s communicate.
With only the steppir plugged into the rs232, the steppir works correctly.
When I plug both into the k3 rs22 with a splitter, the control k3 does not communicate with the home k3.
Does this mean the only way to do steppir control is with a RRC1216H, and then the splitter will work?
2. Green Heron - can it be connected to com1 of the 1258 or is a RC-1216H required?
3. Also implementing RC-1216H control of ACOM 2000a. It has an RS232 connector.
4. Using an RCS-12 automatic antenna switch which has an RS232 connector.
Will all three of these plug into the RS232 with a 4 way splitter?
Right now I have two 1216H units. Will I need more?

Do you mean just enter ddns.remoterig.com in the SIP Contact field. It defies me how this would work.
If not, can you provide a reference?

Configuration of Routers, Firewalls, etc / Dynamic IP Router, Setting up remote contact
« on: 2012-04-16, 20:06:10 »
At the moment I am looking at K3 to K3 setup, but have equipment coming to include ACOM 2000A and Steppir and Green Heron., and AC Outlets.
I do not want a computer running at the HOME RADIO site, just my CISCO LINKSYS WRT610N router.
I am trying to do those things needed to allow me to always contact my router even if it has been restarted and/or the ip address has changed.
When I look at the DDNS tab on my router, that service is currently disabled, but I have only two other choices DnyDNS.com and TZO.com.
It appears I must register my router with one of them. But these sites seem to be registering a HOST, and presumes I can run their program in the background to keep things updated.
I must be going down the wrong path here. Can someone help my thinking here.
