Configuration, RRC 1258 / RRC 2528 Setup with IC7100
« Last post by g8cub on 2025-09-25, 16:15:58 »
First time trying to setup.  Computer talks to both units okay. I can control outputs on 'Radio' I/O from computer. Control RRC does not seem to connect to Radio. IC7100 on/off, or I/O do nothing. Settings all look right except....Radio RRC 'other party' is 0,0,0,0  while Control 'other party' is 192.168.0.228 (ie correct)
Where have I gone wrong?

Configuration, RRC 1258 / K3/0 Remote Setup Issue
« Last post by K6ARK on 2025-09-19, 01:44:45 »
I'm attempting to set up a RemoteRig RRC1258 Mk II system with a K3 and K3 mini. I have established what I believe is a good connection between them. When I turn the power on at the control unit, it beeps, then a few seconds later, it locks up and says "TERM" on the display. I assume this is some kind of serial communication failure.

I've attached screen captures of the Status and Serial info page so someone can hopefully point me in the right direction. If you have any other questions or need more details, fire away.

Thanks for the help.

FYI.

I have measured the current consumption of the K3/0-Mini and RRC-1258 box when connected and operating. Battery was providing 13.2 V. 

RRC-1258   110 mA
K3/0-Mini    200mA

Configuration, RRC 1258 / The CW transmission is not readable
« Last post by Jose_EA7LM on 2025-09-11, 18:14:51 »
The stations listening to me are reading different letters than the ones I'm transmitting, so there seems to be some configuration issue. I'm using an FTDX-3000.

Allmänt diskussionsforum / Rotor image URL
« Last post by SM3LGO on 2025-09-08, 20:35:00 »
Hej!

Enligt manualen (https://www.webswitch.se/wp/?page_id=530) skall det gå att välja en URL där bilder för rotorns riktningsindikering hämtas. Jag har ingen sådan inställning. Jag kan fýlla i "preset" värden osv, men fältet "Rotor image URL" saknas. Jag har mjukvara version 4.59.

Någon som har tips?

Hardware, Cabling, Installations / SpidRAK rotor control
« Last post by ea3geo on 2025-09-08, 12:52:01 »
Dear OM's,

Anybody controlling an SpidRAK rotor through a WebSwitch 1216H??

The older SpidRAK controllers had an RS232 port but now they are coming with an USB.

How do I connect to the Webswitch?

I guess I need to find a right USB to RS232 adapter (maybe with FTDI chipset?) and then, what do I need to do? How do I connect to the Webswitch? Can somebody provide me with the cabling needed? If I could see some images, that would be great.

Any help will be highly appreciated!


Tks & Bst 73 from EA3GEO, Daniel

Thanks Mike!

I see that in the RRC-1258 manual, 'Rev. A40 - 2019 sept 18' page 18, but specified for IC-706, TS-480, and 'RS-232'

My use is with K3/0-Mini, which is powered separately. Would the 'RS-232' note be applicable?

Is this the most recent manual?  Am I missing something?

Hi

The manual says Current drain at 13,8V: App. 160 mA up to app. 600 mA depending on audio level and ev. Back-lighter.

the RRC itself needs 160 mA then it depends on if a control panel is powered from the RRC

Has someone here measured the power (i.e. current) requirements for the RRC-1258 box? The manual does not say, and only mentions that a 1A supply is included. I cannot imagine that the box requires a full 12V 1A supply.

I'm assembling a portable/transportable terminal, and trying to get an idea of how large a battery I should include, and how long it might last.
