Mike Hello. Thanks. Yes that is where it is, BUS B. However I have tried BUS A as well with same results.
Is the 1wire DS18B20 pre-configure in the firmware ? I found no place where to inform what is connected to Bus B.
Thanks Fred

In-time Mike,  as complement of my previous post: Differently then the webswitch , there is no MENU entry to inform what 1wire device one is using. So I assume it  is pre-configured. Is it ? Ciao Fred

Hi Mike.

I have received the DS18B20 sensor and installed it in the AS1289 properly according to your information. However, I have no readings in the Menu  Temperaure/RH. When I enter there I get : Rescan Temp sensor. When attempting to rescan I get : Rescaning temp sensor on Bus B by reestarting.

I have double checked connections and I have done exactly as described in the manual.

Any light on this ? Thanks Fred

Hi Mie, thanks for stepping in.
Ok now is much clear. I have openned the AS1289 and spotted where the connector/header should be. No connector installed, so I assume I can solder the sensor wires direcltly to the PCB or insert a terminal (6 pin) as in the microswitch. Correct ?
Thanks again Mile

As I am not sure where to post this. I am moving the inquire here, hoping that I will get some answer. Many thanks


... I have not found a specific place to post this inquiry. I hope it is ok here.
Per manual a 1wire temperature sensor can be installed to read temperature. Need info on the compatible sensors and how to install it (header, pin..). Many thanks Fred PY2XB....

Mitch I did not say it was not there. I just said I did not find it. One thread was "TS-480 vox". Sorry, I have  searched "TS480 vox".

I found many answers to my questions in previous posts in the forum, btw. The Forum is a great resource and I do not want to be discouraged to ask questions when I do not find them, even if they exist. I'll definitely look for  answers before asking. Fred

Mitch before asking I have searched in the forum and I have not found answer for it. It is in the manual, but not straight forward. It sounds easy after you know what to do...

Thanks Mitch. It worked at once. What is the difference between RTP Normal/Continous, if you may.

« on: 2018-06-16, 19:53:06 »

Hi Guys.

I am testing a remote station in my house. So using LAN at this point.
The radio is a TS480 with remote head. Using the configuration  in the manual regarding Radio. It is working fine on CW and RTTY. On CW I use BK-IN (Vox on)
On SSB, it works fine with the stock microphone when the microphone's PTT is pushed. It does not work under VOX. With VOX ON the radio does not go to TX in any circunstance.

I have tested the head connected directly to the radio and VOX works fine.

I suspected it could be an issue with the mic jumpers (MIC GND issue) and I have tried jumpers for new and old TS480. Same behavior. I am not sure when the unit that I have has been manufactured


Any light on this is appreciated

Thanks Fred PY2XB

Thanks Milke. It is conforting that we can rule out Remoterig. I will look on Expert side, connections, etc..
BTW I am suprised how Remoterig woks well and the simplicity to work with it . You have covered a great deal of  what is needed  for the most used modes and radio controls.
In my specific case I have to deal with SteppIR and rotor control outside Remoterig. I know Microbit has solutions for that too.
Of course power management is important as well.

Perhaps Microbit could design  a single appliance that would do it all in a single product.

Best regards Fred

General discussion forum / Expert 2K-FA and remoterig - still one issue

« on: 2018-06-08, 20:15:27 »

Hi everyone

I have been able to make the serial port of the 2K-FA work at low speed. Thanks Mitch.
So when a COM port of my notebook is directly connected to Expert's serial port, all works ok. I am able to fully control the amplifier and the display reproduces the amplifier's LCD display.

Then I have connected the Expert serial port to Remoterig COM1 (also tried with COM2). It was wired correctly for the COM por  in use. I have used the settings described here http://www.remoterig.com/wp/?page_id=426 , ie Mode 3, 9600, 8 bits, 1 stop bit and no parity.
When the Expert client connects to the amplifier I hear a click in the amplifier as it normally does. I am able to send commands to the amplifier (all of them). The amplifier perfoms de commands (Operate, Power, Set, etc). However  the display on the client remains white (no information) and no button lights up. BTW I also have tried Mode 1 char by char, different baud rates. The above bahaivor does not change either in COM1 or COM2.

So it seems to me that the information in the Expert -> Computer direction is not flowing thru Remoterig. I have ruled out HW problem because I have used the ports for CAT and both COM1 and COM 2 are ok.

Does anyone have a clue about this issue ?

Many thanks Fred PY2XB

Hi Mitch

Per your answer it seems that in old client version the speed can be changed. However, I have understood from Manual that the firmware of the 2k-Fa fixes the serial speed to 115Kbps, regardless if the client has the ability to change speed.

Anyway, yes, I would appreciate if you could send me the old client version. Regards and thanks again  Fred

General discussion forum / Expert 2K-FA remote control via its serial Port

« on: 2018-06-06, 18:08:35 »

Hi Guys
I want to remote control the 2K-FA amplifier using  its serial port. I am using Remoterig COM1 for this matter ( it could it  COM2 too)

However the amplifier's serial port has a FIXED speed of 115Kbps (cant be changed, per manual). Remoterig does not allow to set this speed (max is 64K).

Is any of you using Remoterig ports to control the 2K-FA?

Thanks input

Fred
