General discussion / PC Client with Yaesu Twin

« on: 2011-08-22, 21:54:43 »

After using my PC Client for several months with my TS-480 setup, I tried to use it with my
new Yaesu Twin setup with 2x FT-2000.

The PC Client connects as it should and appears ok, but I can not get the CAT to connect
at all. I have tried with both HRD and TRX-Manager.

I turned my webcam on the FT-2000 in the remote station and can see that the FT-2000 does
not turn on when the PC Client connects to it, as the TS-480 does. I can't turn the FT-2000 on
via software, since the CAT doesn't connect.

Since PC Client support will be critical to a new installation of Yaesu Twin I am doing next month, I
need to figure out what the problem is pretty soon.

Thanks, Mike, then I don't understand why it would work fine when operated locally,
but not remotely. Do you think there is a bug in the CAT command that makes this
work incorrectly when controlled via CAT? It is as if there is a reset sent out when
you send PTT while on antenna 2 that corrects itself when in receive. Very strange.

Mike,

That is what I am using: active PC speakers or headphones. The level jumper JMP-4 has
no effect on the volume. Is my RRC defective?

That's true. With 2.35, you had to restart everything. I personally could not replicate the
problem with 2.35 that my user had, but this problem affects me as well.

Let me know if you need any further information.

I can add some important information on this problem:

It ONLY occurs when I use antenna 2 on the FT-2000. Split works just fine on antenna 1.

I did some experimenting and figured out the following:

- When working simplex on either VFO using antenna 2, the FT-2000 works as expected.
- When you switch to split, the transmitter frequency switches to antenna 1 without indication

I was able to verify this by switching the LP-100 wattmeter into the antenna 1 line while everything
was still indicating antenna 2. I use an 8-pak switch to remotely switch between transceivers and antennas.

This is definitely a bug that needs to be fixed.

It apparently continues to work. When you pull the USB cable out, the buzz goes
away and you can continue using the TS-480, albeit without CAT.

Hi Jan,

I know you guys were on vacation, as I was as well, so I have been patient ;-)

1) The buzz sound the same as it did in 2.35. I can send you an MP3 if you want.
It takes about 2 minutes to start after turning the TS-480 on. I was able to only
replicate it on one remote system, as was the other user. Not sure why only this
one remote system would cause a problem, I use two more identical installations
that apparently don't buzz when connected.

2) I would also think that Windows controls the release, but indeed unplugging, etc.
does not apparently make a difference. I was able to replicate this several times and
rebooted. It has been a while and I can try again, maybe the PC was not in a good
mood at the time ;-)

Is there a timing when these issues will be fixed? I would like to implement using
COM1 on USB in some installations, but need to wait until this is fixed. I had
everyone downgrade in the meantime.

General discussion forum / YaesuTwin: audio level main receiver

« on: 2011-08-16, 15:01:20 »

My second YaesuTwin issue I would like to report is the low audio level
on the main receiver. It is really too low for me to hear weak signals, even
when using headphones and turning the AF Gain up all the way.

The second receiver is OTOH much louder and is as loud as I would expect.

I tried moving JMP-4 back and forth a couple of times, but can tell no
difference in the audio output. I left the Codec Out Gain at 255.

Any idea how I can raise the audio output level?

General discussion forum / YaesuTwin: no power output when using split

« on: 2011-08-16, 14:53:43 »

Since there is no separate YaesuTwin section, I am adding a couple of issues here.

I tried working split for the first time since installing my YaesuTwin with two FT-2000s.
I receive no power output, although it works just fine when not in split. Switching between
the A and B VFOs makes no difference, always full power out in simplex and no power output
in split. This occurs for both SSB and CW and across the bands. I have used the A-->B button
and made sure that everything is identical.

Any idea what is happening here?

Configuration, RRC 1258 / Re: Trying to get the 1258 to talk to each other Inside the firewall and outside.

« on: 2011-08-16, 11:03:00 »

Jim,

Since the home router's web configuration also uses port 80, I suggest that one always
changes their RRC web port to something different and forward it. Otherwise, you will
always land at your router when you try to access your RRC. Obviously, you can change
the router's web port instead if your prefer.

Configuration, RRC 1258 / Re: pinging using DNYDNS TOOL

« on: 2011-08-16, 09:36:25 »

Jim is correct, but I need to add one thing that has caused some people to get confused:

When you ping your DynDNS address, you land at your router. Often, the result of a ping will
be a timeout. This is because ICMP reply is often turned off by default for security reasons.

If you receive a timeout when you ping your router, you need to turn "ICMP packet reply" or
similar on. This is usually under the firewall or security settings.

Dimitri,

You may have better luck posting this in the RRC-1258 section. This is the Webswitch forum.

I also use two FT-2000's in a YaesuTwin setup. A couple of minor quirks, otherwise ok.

Make sure that the two RRC's are not plugged into the same power supply. If you are using the
supplied 12v supplies, plug them into different outlets/strips. To be on the safe side, keep the
radio RRC off of the same outlet/strip from the FT-2000.

Maybe that will solve your problem. If not, I suggest you repost your question in the right area.

Configuration, RRC 1258 / Re: Trouble Maintaining HRD CAT Connection

« on: 2011-08-09, 07:52:09 »

There is a bug in 2.41 that causes the problem with not being able to get it to reconnect
once your restart the problem as you described, see: http://www.remoterig.com/forum/index.php?topic=864.0

You may wish to change the control RRC to 2.40 and try it again. I had to change all of our users' RRC's to get it
to work properly with USB CAT.

This may not fix your problem with HRD slowing down, but is worth a try. I don't use HRD, but understand that
the default polling rate is way too high. You may wish to change that if you can.
