General discussion forum / Icom 706 sleep timer / auto power off

« on: 2011-02-21, 02:13:58 »

Hi,

What is the reason sleeptimer / auto power off doesn't function with the RRC's?
I tried both the ic703 and r2500.

Any workaround?
Now my radio stays on all night and doesn't warn me to go to bed in time :-)

I'd like to make a box with wireless ethernet, RRC control and radio-front to cary around the house ;-)

Any recommandations for a steady,speedy & simple wireless ethernet box?

General discussion forum / NAT problems and solutions...

« on: 2010-12-26, 12:56:30 »

Sorry to flood the forum with my NAT problems.

If you read:
http://www.smartvox.co.uk/sipfaq_natsolutions_explained.htm
One sulotion could be to let the RRCs do continuous handshaking even if the radio/controlpanel are off.

Since NAT is becoming more and more widespread, would Microbit consider this or another NAT workaround?

General discussion forum / ISP's blocking ports, what to do

« on: 2010-12-23, 16:27:05 »

Hi,

I have been hopping ports the last few days to make my R2500 work.
Every time the connection works, but after a while drops.

I have a suspicion (and I read in forums) that Internet Service Providers are blocking certain ports.
Most of these are related to VOIP devices which they don't allow for "commercial" reasons.
Unfortunately Remoterig is such a device....

I realise this is the fault of those ISP's but is there any way Microbit devices can work around those limitations?
It seems like ISP's are becoming just unwilling to open up ports on request.
For the RRC the SIP port seems  to be the largest problem, as this is giving a "VOIP alarm" to your IPS.

Besides being angry at your internet provider, is there any other trick to consider?
My RRC will work for one(!) session at a given port configuration.
After that I have to reconfigure the whole system and hope for a working port...

Any other port configuration that might remain "undetected" by ISPs?

General discussion forum / Sip error & reconfiguring (Icom R2500)

« on: 2010-12-22, 12:04:01 »

I'm puzzled by the following:

My www remote R2500 works as long as it stays on.
After a period unused it will not reconnect, giving SIP error.

When I change SIP port (for example to 5061) and reconfigure my NAT router portforwarding all works again untill switched off for a longer period.

Again and again I have to reconfigure ports and forwarding for every session,
But every time the R2500 is unused for a length of time connection is lost again.

I'm lost in a reconfiguring-loop,meaning I'm still more behind a computer than the R2500...
Access to both RRCs and router (fixed IP) is no problem.

General discussion forum / Remoterig IC-R2500 working yes/no ?

« on: 2010-10-10, 15:12:35 »

I see several remarks in this forum that the Icom R2500 is not working correctly with Remoterig.
(some of them unfortunately in Swedish ;-)
Before making cables, could anyone shed a light?
Is the R2500 working if connected by the RRC manual?

General discussion forum / 2 radios on 1 RRC possible ?

« on: 2010-09-18, 22:22:24 »

Hi group,

Next to my IC-703 I would like to attach a second radio (wideband RX) to my RRC.
This receiver is controlled by the RS232 port.

Question: how could I merge the audio from the 2 radios together?
Are the audio inputs of AUX/MIC and TTL busses seperated or do they merge inside the RRC? Is there a strapping audio together trick? Or should I do this externally?

It would be great to control (and hear) both radios over a single www connection!

General discussion forum / Remoterig limited LF audio response

« on: 2010-08-22, 00:24:52 »

Hi,

I'm using the remoterig pair with great pleasure but have one remark:
The audio response seems quite limited at the low end of the audio spectrum.

The radio I use (an IC703) already has limited LF response, but I have a feeling the low frequency cutoff with Remoterig becomes cascaded.

I.o.w. Low frequencies are cut first at the radio HPF, than at the radio-RRC HPF and finally again at the CTRL-RRC. Net result (to my ears) is a very limited response of low frequency audio content.

I don't need hifi audio but a response from, say, 50Hz to 4/12kHz (depending on Fs) would be good for all modes, both for communications and SWLing. I am also planning to use my Icom R2500, which is used for AM/FM bradcast as well...

I hope Mike&Microbit will consider to make the HPF selectable for the Remoterig system, this will make it more versatile for non strictly communications audio.
