General discussion forum / Re: Elecraft K4 with RemoteRig
« Last post by nk8o on 2025-02-13, 23:07:41 »
Follow-up on remote operation.  The RR pair has been working very well for remote CW operation.  The control app I have been working on with W7DA is coming along nicely.  It is now reasonably compact and has most but not all of the functions I need to operate the radio, without the need of another K4, K4/0 or VK4.   Image is attached and code is open and available on Github.

General discussion forum / Re: Bad CW after a year with N1MM+ and Remoterig

You are correct. I have to change in my control unit, serial settings, the COM3(Extra) port to either Mode-8,Winkeyer or Mode-10, Baudot/RTTTY. This way, the keying of CW or RTTY from a logging program such as N1MM+ will work while using the F-Keys.

Configuration, RRC 1258 / K3 mini/K3/logging software problem
« Last post by W2SM on 2025-02-10, 16:54:55 »
I have been running a K3 - Mini to a K3 remote over a LAN for the last 8 years without a problem.
The configuration at the control station is the K3 Mini to the RRC  and a laptop for logging.

Recently, the logging program (DXLab DX Commander) has stopped working.  It can't find the address of the K3.
Everything else is working perfectly... the K3 Mini controls the K3 through band changes, frequency changes, keying etc.

But without the DX Commander "seeing" the K3 Port info, logging is impossible.
I have made no hardware or software, but obviously something changed, but I can't figure out what it is.

I would appreciate any suggestions on how to diagnose and correct the problem.
Thanks,
Jim

Seeing that stocks are slowly running low and out all over Europe during the last year, I can't figure out that RRC-1258 is still in production?

Thank you for the answers.

Perfect.  I'm mainly a CW op, but it would be nice to use the mic if I wanted to.

Yes the jumpers is for the mic so if K4 has the same mic connector config as the K3 you can use the K3 strapping

Thank you!   I will give this a try.  What about jumpers in the units?  Is there a configuration for these, perhaps the K3 configuration?

Yes
Many hams use Remoterig for Flex that way to get the live CW functionality. Set program mode = 4, and if you want the connection to be up forever set auto connect = yes. You do not need to connect anything to the CAT ports, just use PAD jacks Speaker and mic
