General discussion forum / Re: Problem with status-Website for Dyn-DNS-Service (no update)?
« Last post by oe2lcm on 2025-11-08, 18:29:30 »
just find an old entry here:

"It's normal that no update is done if the ip is not changed, the RRC checks the ip all the time and only send update if the IP is changed. If you go there the important thing to check is if the DNS (not ddns) status is ok. 
The DNS  is needed for the ddns to work. Send me a copy of the status page where you can see both the DNS and ddns status."

I will investigate a little more and try to obtain a new IP at the remote site and will see, if the status page shows an update.

Thank you!

General discussion forum / Problem with status-Website for Dyn-DNS-Service (no update)?
« Last post by oe2lcm on 2025-11-08, 12:10:45 »
Dear OM's,

I hope somebody could help me with my problem.

The 1216H Webswitch is running since 7 years (tnx remoterig) without problems.

Now - maybe - I have troubles with the watchdog (settings are unchanged, ping to 8.8.8.8).

Problem: At the website "http://ddns.remoterig.com/status/" the last update shows the 31.10.2025 at 12h UTC..

As far as I remember this should be updated every 10 minutes or so.

BUT: In the "System Info" of the webswitch I could see the status "Ping status (watchdog)   OK [38 ms]"

This sounds like the webswitch could ping the 8.8.8.8 adress (but no update at the status-website).

When using a not existing IP for making the watchdog-ping the watchdog goes into action and switched off and
restart as defined in the settings of the watchdog - so it seems to work!

So before travelling to the remotesite and trying to plug off the CAT-cable of the webswitch (the watchdog must
go to action) - maybe somebody could help me to understand why the status-website shows no update since 31.10. ?

Thank you very much for reading and maybe a short reply!

General / Which smartphone do you use?"
« Last post by ik4vfd on 2025-11-08, 08:49:49 »
Hi everyone,
after updating to Android 16 (in my case with Samsung One UI 8), the Rccnano app no longer works — it connects, but it doesn’t transmit or receive anymore.
Has anyone else had the same problem?
What smartphone are you using?

Thanks for your replies,

Hardware, Cabling, Installations / 1216h and 1216l issue
« Last post by rjdev on 2025-11-04, 00:51:16 »
Hi,
I have been using the 1216h and 1216l for several years now with very good results.  This week I had a lightning strike a tree in my side yard. It caused my flex radio to trip off line and 12volt power to momentarily go off. the Yaesu rotator G-650A along with the 1216H and 1216lL to lose power for a few seconds. When I got the power supply restarted the rotator butons for left and right were still functioning and the h-beam rotated. However when trying to acces the rotator thru the computer interface I saw the that the rotator function in the interface said rotor not initialized. and no red indicator was shown. please see the pic in the attachment.
The 1216H still controls my relays for the radio ok But the rotator will not function.

I suspect the Ato D in the 1216L was damaged but I have no way to prove it.

I do have another new 11216H sitting on my shelf in a box but do not have another 1216L to use. Looking for a distributor in the USA does not seem to be. And the distributors over seas do not seem to have the 1216 in stock.

Can someone help with how to approach this and maybe if needed tell me where I might purchase another 1216L. Error code 9 from 1216L

I did try to record new settings in the setup but only 0 was retrieved so I think the A/D converter got killed.

Ideas and help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Charles, thanks for your email.
I’m trying to answer all the questions…

No changes at all since last time I used back in May 2025.
I can’t connect to the box on wifi, only by cable through Microbit utility.
No changes in DHCP, remain the same.
I am connecting the box to the router directly with Ethernet cable.
I configured the boxes so they have been working correctly for 2 years now. Set the remote in October every year and dismantle it in May.
Ports are correctly open like in the RRC boxes manual.
IP address is the same, checked that and remains the same.
DDNS can be the problem I think. Looks like it doesn’t connect with remoterig.com, so they don’t get updated, but don’t know how to do it..
I would say is a connection problem.
I changed the router months ago, but since there is a cable connecting the box and the router, I don’t see any issue there, but…. Why can’t I connect to the box via wifi.?

Thanks.

Does the setup connect on the local network?

Did you change the default connection from fixed to DHCP?  Are you connecting to your home network?  How did you configure the RR boxes?   Did you open the necessary ports on the router at the remote site?   Do you have the correct IP address for the remote site?  Did you set up DDNS or a similar FQDN service?

General discussion forum / Re: K3 with K3/0
« Last post by nk8o on 2025-11-01, 15:22:27 »
Things I can report: 1) Version 6 boards work with the K3 Twin configuration.  There is no JMP5 on these boards but it doesn't seem to make any difference.  2) Small configuration errors keep it from working.  I discovered one setting that was incorrect, then the system came to life.  3) be careful if you "roll your own" DB15 cable.  Remember in a standard configuration of an RJ45 that pins 4 and 5 are blue and blue stripe, opposite of all the other pairs.   If you are crimping your own RJ45 you can set it up any way you like, but the standard "B" configuration has the blue pair reversed.

I will start rigorously testing this setup today, everything except the mic.   I don't work SSB as a general rule.

Thanks for the bandwidth.  Sometimes laying out the problem leads to a solution.

General discussion forum / K3 with K3/0
« Last post by nk8o on 2025-10-31, 19:49:51 »
I recently acquired a K3 and was subsequently given a K3/0 to pair with it.  I can't seem to get them to communicate.  I know from previous experimentation that the K3 can be started remotely, and that my RemoteRig boxes can send CW to the radio and receive audio back from the radio.  I have double-checked all my cables to be sure they are correct, and I have double-checked the settings for the RR boxes.  Here is what I have noted:

1. These are RR Mark II revision 6. SN 5096 on the radio side and SN 5170 on the control side.  In configuring these, I cannot find JMP5 in either of these units.  Is this version compatible with the K3 Twin configuration, and is there something I can configure to this jumper?

2. If I turn on the radio, the RR boxes still send audio to each other, but I have to control with the K3/0 over frequency, mode, or other parameters  Anyone have any suggestions as to where to look?

These RR boxes were updated with v2.95 firmware and bootloader 1.10.

I don't remember the exact reason, it's years ago. But we borrowed a radio and did some reverse enginering and decided that it was not worth the effort to try to adapt for it.
