i searched, but found other radios

I did a cable like this, RJ45 on one side, RCA on the other side. RJ45 #3 to RCAīs tip and RJ45 #6 to RCAīs ground.

I connect it between RCCīs AUX/MIX and soundcardīs LINE OUT

When I TX, I noticed that power vary constantly, from 4 watts to 400 watts, during the 15 seconds period.

Maybe cable is OK and I need to change something in RCC setup or K3 menu?

thanks,

Hello

still trying to setup FT8 to work.

If anyone is using a pair of K3/100 radios, remoterig and a soundcard, and can help me, I appreciate it very much

I can receive on FT8, but couldn't transmit

So I need to know, what cables are you using from RRC control and soundcard, where are they connected, etc, etc, etc

thanks in advance!

you mean page 221 of this manual? http://www.remoterig.com/downloads/RemoteRig_RRC1258-MkII_Users_manual.pdf

I have this cable with RJ45 and 8-pin DIN and doesnt work. But this cable connect to K3 and you told me to not use K3, just RRC to computer cable.

So what is this cable that I need?

thanks,
Jorge

oK now I understand

So on my radio side I have

MIC SEL = rP.H BIAS
MIC+LIN = OFF

so a cable from RCC control AUX/MIC to K3 control raadio MIC DIN on the front doesnt work?

I need a cable with 3.5 mm connector to go from RCC control AUX/MIC to soundcard, right? But dont know the connections for this cable

i dont know about electronic but.

I do SSB with a Elecraft MH2 microphone and it have this connections, I tested it (see attached file)

I build a cable with a 8-pin DIN female that plug on the K3 front MIC 8-pin DIN male, but doesnīt work.

Now thinking if I need to change MIC SEL on the K3īs MENU.

What is the right MIC SEL and MIC + LIN to be used?

Since my remote K3 right now have rear panel and bias selected and I cannot reach it now, if I made a cable with a 3.5 mm connector, will work? Or may I unselect BIAS?

thanks,
Jorge

« on: 2019-03-29, 23:52:40 »

hello

I have my remote station with two K3/100 and remoterig boxes working OK for CW and SSB

For SSB I use Elecraft MH2 microphone connected to AUX/MIC connector on front of RRC control

What about FT8?

I can receive, but when on transmitt, radio go to TX, but nof RF out.

I made a cable, RJ45 on one end to connect to AUX/MIC connector on front of RRC control and on the other end 8-pin DIN female that fir on MIC on the front of K3/100 on the control side.

I have a Heil adapter (red cable), in case I can try it, but need to know how
