Configuration, RRC 1258 / Re: Congestion tone on first setup
« on: 2016-02-12, 18:58:35 »
We used the actual IP address.
More suggestions welcomed.
Thanks

Yes, we changed to the external IP address. The control RRC is not using DHCP but we did change the IP address to the correct subnet so it is visible on the local network.

Configuration, RRC 1258 / Congestion tone on first setup
« on: 2016-02-12, 02:23:51 »
I have my Elecraft K3s communicating effectively over the LAN and am now attempting to connect over the Internet. I have enabled port forwarding on my firewall for 13000, 13001, 13002, and 80 and the RRC shows "Idle" status (see below). However, the K3s still gives a congestion tone when turned on. Everything is physically connected as normal but the AUX/MIC shows no link or activity lights.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Here is the status from my control RRC:

Thanks Mitch. My apologies. I did a search but must not have selected the correct key words.

I'll go to the link you suggested and research.

General discussion / Typical data usage?
« on: 2016-01-29, 21:07:44 »
I have a K3, KAT500 and KPA500 with the K3/0 mini and RRC boxes. What kind of data consumption might one expect from this configuration? I suspect that's a tough question with many variables, but lets assume the radio is on and receiving for  24 hours, limited knob twisting and transmitting.

The reason I ask is that I have multiple host sites for my remote station. Some have great Internet access (Comcast high speed cable), others ADSL via WiFi, and one with a 4G Jetpack. All of these options have bandwidth, latency and cost implications. As a CW op, latency is a critical factor in my case. ADSL in my area is typically 10Mbps down, 600Kbps up ... probably acceptable from a bandwidth perspective. One of the best QTH's under consideration obtains their Internet connectivity via a Verizon 4G Jet pack. The bandwidth is probably adequate, latency is around 60ms (in their installation), but the data charges can be significant. But, it all depends on how much data I will actually consume (my question above). Any ideas?

Thoughts on these different connectivity options (cost, bandwidth, latency) are most welcome.

Kind Regards,

Configuration, RRC 1258 / Re: Control RRC is confused :-)
« on: 2016-01-12, 16:37:01 »
Thanks ... the serial number for the Control is 9777.
Hopefully I can receive the build file soon as I am unable to communicate with the Radio end until the Control is working.

Let me clarify my initial post...

The RRC box initially named CONTROL 192.168.0.227 has apparently been renamed to RADIO. It appears the firmware loaded in the RRC formerly labelled CONTROL is now the RADIO RRC content (for example, going to 192.168.0.227 and selecting Radio Settings now shows no place to add the SIM Contact IP address).

As stated in my initial post, the serial number of the CONTROL (now RADIO) RRC has been set to 1.

I've reinstalled the firmware but no joy.

I had to reboot the Control RRC  a couple of times today. After one reboot, the rigs failed to communicate and investigating, I found the Control RRC has somehow renamed Radio. In addition, the original serial number now indicates a 1. I reloaded the firmware to no avail. No communications between the RRC's, but I can ping each IP number.

Hi Paul ... did renaming solve the problem permanently? I am having a problem connecting with the iPhone 4 hotspot with no success. As with you, I can connect other other wifi connections quite successfully.

General discussion forum / WSPR on K3/0 mini - RRC?
« on: 2016-01-10, 05:45:30 »
Has anyone been able to decode WSPR signals through the K3/0 mini, RRC connections?
I have been unsuccessful.

I currently have my K3 line connected (over the LAN for now) to a K3/0 via RRC boxes. This configuration is now stable so I've begun to focus on the integration of Ham Radio Deluxe into the mix. I use HRD only for logging ... the rig control functionality is redundant with the K3/0 mini and therefore is of no interest, except for talking to the logbook (Frequency, Mode, QSY for packet spots).

Has anyone found a way to satisfy the HRD logging program data requirements from K3/0-mini/RRC feeds versus having HRD rig control active? I am assuming that running HRD rig control essentially running in the background will come at the price of data consumption.

Thoughts? Perhaps I'm worrying needlessly about the data consumption, but the concept of HRD rig control and a K3/0-mini running concurrently doesn't strike me as a good situation.

Thanks

Configuration, RRC 1258 / K3/0 and RRC's
« on: 2016-01-03, 03:52:27 »
I purchased the K3/0 mini and RRC boxes from Elecraft to remote my K3 line.

I assume the radio the Radio setting for this configuration should be 14-Elecraft Twins vs. 4, Yaesu, Kenwood and Elecraft, correct?

Problem was due to the side tone setting. Once the side tone was disabled, the extra dot issue disappeared. Thanks to all who responded.

Thanks for the reply Gus. The keyer was in iambic A. I tried both A & B and the result is the same (an extra dit on end of the transmission). I also confirmed that this occurs in the TEST mode, which indicates it is not RF related. If I switch to a voice mode (e.g. LSB) and monitor with the side tone, the problem does not occur.
