Configuration, RRC 1258 / Ethernet connection dead

« Last post by Mel KJ9C on 2025-04-28, 19:13:10 »

Radio RRC1258MkII went down 2 weeks ago. Troubleshooting via Teamviewer could not help.
Now at the radio site 1600 miles from control site. USB connection shows all is OK using Microbit setup interface to PC. Yellow/red lights are off, front green light is blinking slowly, Ethernet light on rear is steady yellow awaiting connection. LAN settings all agree (IP, subnet mask, etc) but the network does not see the RRC and therefore won't connect.
What to try next?

Configuration, Webswitch 1216H / Re: Webswitch 1216H Corrupted Profile

« Last post by K0LO on 2025-04-12, 16:12:30 »

I found a way to remove the corrupted profile. I could not find a way to delete the corrupted profile, but I found an alternative. Using Microbit Setup Manager, connect to the switch using USB. Then copy a known good profile over the bad profile. This worked. Afterwards, edit the copied profile.

Configuration, Webswitch 1216H / Webswitch 1216H Corrupted Profile

« Last post by K0LO on 2025-04-10, 17:35:03 »

Is there any way to completely remove a corrupted profile from a WebSwitch 1216H? If you look at my attachment "Webswitch-1216H-settings.txt" you can see a list of Relays that goes in this sequence: Relay 1,2,3,4,5,6,6,7,8,9,10. There should only be relays 1 - 5. If you view my other attachment "Corrupted Profile.png" you can see another example of the corruption.

The other profiles work correctly, but I don't want remote users to accidentally select this profile. I've tried connecting via USB and using the Microbit Setup Manager but I can't seem to delete this rogue profile. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Mark

Hej, en kort uppföljning:

Jag har nu bytt enligt följande:

1. Jag har ändrat RRC-control config "Use USB port as COM2" till "No".
2. Istället för att köra USB mellan PC och RRC-control så kör jag istället
    COM2 via en USB-till-seriell omvandlare mellan PC:ns USB port och RRC:ns
   "riktiga" COM2 port.

Då funkar det OK!

Hej Micke

Tack för tipset! Men nej, "USB as PTT" (och även "USB as CW") är "disabled".

Jag satte en "loggare" på USB porten och jag kan se att det sker en handskakning mellan PC och RRC-control en gång var 38:e sekund, handskakningen ser ut att initieras utifrån, dvs från RRC-sidan. Det verkar vara efter den 3:e handskakningen (3 x 28s = 1 min 56 s) som PTT går aktiv.

Jag hittade ett annat inlägg som beskriver ett liknande problem med just TS-480, jag skall se om jag får tag i honom...

Kolla om du aktiverat "USB as PTT" till någon COM port under IO settings i Control-RRC. Det är den enda jag kan komma på att skulle få USB att aktivera PTT, varför det tar just 2 minuter har jag ingen ide om

Hello

I have a Remoterig setup with a Kenwood TS-480, and eveything works prefectly except that PTT is activated after about 2 minutes, no matter what I do.

I am controling the TS-480 via USB-to-RRC1258 on the control side and COM2-to-TS480 on the radio side (COM2 setup as per the manual).

When I connect the USB cable between the RRC1258 control unit and the PC, the TS-480 will always go into TX after about 2 minutes. It does not matter if I have any software running on the PC, it seems to be inserting the USB connector that is the source of the PTT trigger (but "delayed" by 2 minutes). Before the PTT triggers, i.e. during the first 2 minutes, CAT control and PTT via WSJT-X works perfectly.

Also, it does not matter if I on the radio side pull out the cables for MIC, COM2 and CW keying, the PTT is still always triggered after 2 minutes. So the only explanation is that something via the TTL/panel connector triggers the PTT at the radio side.

Any suggestions?

73 + TNX in advance

General / No recive audio RRC NANO Kenwood

« Last post by WA3LAB on 2025-03-06, 18:51:29 »

The equipment I use:
Cellphone- Samsung S10+ Android 12
App- RRC NANO Kenwood v1.6.7
Radio- Kenwood TS-480HX
RRC-1258 MkII


I have been using the radio and control modules for nearly 10 years with no issues.  Recently I, noticed an upgraded RRC NANO app had been added to the Play Store.  I downloaded it to my phone and everything is working except I cannot get receive audio at the cellphone.  Transmit audio is OK.  I have also tried this with both the phone and the radio unit on my local LAN and have used direct IP addresses to connect to eliminate any port forwarding issues.  However, I am confident that my forwarding is correct as it works flawlessly with the control module. I suspect there is possibly some type of permissions issue on the phone.  I did note several other people having issues with audio, so I'm trying to see if anyone has got this type of setup to work.  My hardware worked with RRC NANO many years ago, but it was a different phone.  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Configuration of Routers, Firewalls, etc / Suddenly not recognizing IC7100 home or via web

« Last post by w2hdi on 2025-03-02, 23:11:45 »

Hi. I'm a user for almost 10 years, using an IC7100.  Once I figured out port forwarding it's worked extremely well.
I getting ready for a road trip and I noticed the 7100 was "tripping " above 10 watts.  I connected the base radio to a new power supply and that solved the problem.  Except, and maybe a coincidence, I lost remote rig. 
Even when connected directly via 192.168.1.228, using my pixel 9 (which was working fine before this), the phone seems to connect, but no radio functions.  The yellow light on the radio 1258 (MKII) is solid.
Is it possible I accidentally changed a setting on the IC7100 that I don't understand?

When I connect via your server I get the same situation.  Yellow light is solid, nano pro app looks like it's connected (I can turn the tuning dial), but no radio response.
