Configuration, RRC 1258 / Configuring for JT Modes

« on: 2015-06-14, 00:26:52 »

There is probably something simple involved but I cannot seem to get the Remote K3 to actually xmit (modulate) the JT tones I hear on the control end using a K3/0 mini.  I decode signals fine and I hear the tones here when I xmit and the K3 is keying via PTT but the tones are not "driving" the audio in the rig apparently. 

Im using the local PC and have split the K3 mini speaker jack to feed the PC audio card INPUT but apparently the audio card out must need to go somewhere other than it currently does.  like back to the K3.  I have the JT configuration set for line in and out per the WSJT-X User Guide.

SSB and cw works all ok.

Not quite Jan...  Its a receive vertical array that can be switched in any of 8 directions around the compass using just 3 control leads that switch relays via applying a ground to a combination of the 3 control leads to select any of 8 different compass headings for a full 360 degree coverage.  default is NO grounds on leads 1,2 and 3 and causes the default array direction to be NE.  and if applying a ground to all 3 control leads at once causes the receive direction to be from the North for example.

File received and all updated...  Now on proper IP and recognized as such.  ... AWESOME!!  Thanks so much Jan.

 Can the relays  1-5 be used to provide grounds to my HI-Z 8 circle array controller by using 4 of the relays on/off to match the HI-Z receiving system relay switching truth table for direction control?

Hi Jan,  thanks for replying...    I am using Microbit Setup Manager version 1.27.   I have disconnected all RRC/WS  (I only have the one Control RRC here on site as well as the Webswitch I am having problems with).

I just connected the Webswitch only to the PC usb and it shows up with the firmware version  and IP number as my Control RRC which is disconnected from the PC and the Router.   When I connected the Webswitch to the LAN router side and click on FIND DEVICES I get a 'no devices found' message. [The info in the Network Info/Find window indicates "NETWORK DISCONNECTED" and displays all the info associated with the IP address of the local Control RRC here)

I connected the Webswitch to my router and it does NOT get recognized.  I noted that the Network Info has changed now from my local RRC IP address back to the default 192.168.0.227 and the DNS and Gateway are also subnet 0.  I cant find the Config tab on the Microbit setup manager to change the info to what I want on subnet 1 which my Asus AC68 router is on.  Of course running the FIND again results in NO DEVICES FOUND as expected.

 I found the CONFIG you mention...  It was hard to see since its greyed out.   Yesterday I got to the window that showed the serial number etc and allow me to change the IP, Gateway and DNS settings to my Router but still I could not read or Find the Webswitch device as it never connected to the Network here..  Today I cant even get that far yet.

Any suggestions for me to try?

Configuration, RRC 1258 / wrong firmware in the Webswitch

« on: 2015-05-19, 21:27:36 »

I ordered a new Webswitch early this year and just got around to taking it off the shelf and trying it locally here on the LAN before moving it to the remote site.  Somehow in my bumbling I have managed to load the wrong firmware into the  Webswitch 1216H unit.  I connected it to the usb ok and can access the switch via the Microbit Setup Manager and I get a "device connected" notification but the FW/HW version is indicating the version which is in my local RRC control unit.  I disconnected the RRC and just tried connecting the Webswitch to the router but the router is not recognizing it.
I tried an advanced reset of the Webswitch to default values but it comes up and asks me if I want to set default settings in the RRC!.  Also when I ask for the HW/FW version from the unit it comes back with  Ver: 007,  Firmware 2.84, Bootloader 1.10 and HW 008.

I tried just loading the new Webswitch 1216H ver 4.15 via USB and it goes through the loading process and fails with the (Invalid File Content) failure.

Can anyone help me out of this mess please. I don't know how I managed to load the wrong firmware in the first place...  I would have thought I would have received the same (Invalid File Content) message I now get.... but its done and I just need to get back to the correct firmware somehow.

Configuration, RRC 1258 / Re: Remote RRC1258 STATUS port values

« on: 2015-05-06, 15:03:32 »

Thanks Mitch....  I see all the in/out ports with equal values on my local LAN RRC pairing  but not on the Remote RRC 1258 so was wondering if it was contributing to some of the problems there.
 This is the best place I can find for "answers".

Configuration, RRC 1258 / Remote RRC1258 STATUS port values

« on: 2015-05-05, 21:29:54 »

OK..now the next question.  The STATUS page of the remote RRC1258 Has a Command out port value of 1024 and a Command in value of 13002.    The remote router is configured correctly to allow port 13002 for both UDP and TCP.  I notice the SIP and Audio ports in/out values for 13000 and 13001 match each on the RRC1258 Status page  but the Command in/out ports do not and nothing I do changes the Command out port value from 1024.   Is this normal?

Like I thought. " simple little thing missing" ....  It was a loose jumper in the RRC at the Remote end.

Configuration, RRC 1258 / PTT with the K3/0 Mini

« on: 2015-05-03, 23:52:31 »

I recently changed over to the K3 mini and have cw working fine and SSB working fine.  The PTT via a footswitch connected to the PTT jack on the K3/mini works ok on my local LAN radio setup but when I switch profiles over to the K3 at the remote site via WAN I cannot get the PTT to key the radio there.  what simple little thing am I missing to allow me to use the footswitch to key up the remote  K3.  I am using a Yamaha CM500 plugged into the side jacks on my K3/mini.  As I mentioned this all works via my LAN radio setup just not WAN.  Using Mode 7 of Com 1 for serial settings and 14 for Radio Program Mode.

Thanks Dennis...It was the remote end volume level that somehow got turned up and left that way!  DUH.

I did find a K3 Config file for the audio amp adjustment.  Hi (where it was set) and Lo audio volume where I now have it set has helped.  Im going to "assume" there is NO adjustment for RX audio level in the RRC1258 units.

Configuration, RRC 1258 / K3/0 mini and K3/100 volume control setting

« on: 2015-04-25, 18:57:30 »

This may be a non issue but Im not used to getting blasted by a high audio volume  when the volume control is only at about 7-8 O'clock level on the K3.   The AGC is on in the radio but there seems to be a real excess of volume since I'm used to having the comfortable audio level on the K3 set around 10:00 O'clock level.
Is there a setting in the RRCs that can adjust this possibly?  If so , I have missed that option.  Then again... maybe its a setting in the K3 I have missed.

Thanks
