General discussion forum / K3/0 lockup

« Last post by K7FL on 2026-01-26, 19:12:13 »

I have had a working station using a K3/0 and K3 with RRC boxes for 6 months. While troubleshooting a minor issue, I made a change to the baud rate in the K3 configuration. It locked up the K3/0 and perhaps the K3 (Im not on site so can’t observe).

When turning on the K3/0 a connection is indicated by the beep and TERM … but no additional data is transmitted. No knobs or switches are functional

I suspect I corrupted something in my K3 configuration file. Does this make sense? I suspect that the config file will need to be reloaded. I believe this can only be accomplished on site?

Comments welcome

General discussion forum / Is RRC-1258 still/will be in production in 2026?

« Last post by ha3flt on 2026-01-25, 21:25:26 »

Since we would like to have at least one more RRC client, but I've found “out of production” and “discontinued” in the product titles on its distributors' websites, I should ask again this year if the RRC-1258 (control side box) is still in production?

Thank you,

Configuration of Routers, Firewalls, etc / Re: 4G connection problem

« Last post by HB9BJL on 2026-01-16, 12:35:49 »

Hello Philippe and all,

i have been using a TS-480 remote for the last 2 years over 4G GSM using a Netgear Nighthawk M5 GSM Router. On request, my provider gave me a valid dynamic IP that can be reached from outside. The CGNAT problem is therefore solved and I can use port forwarding at my remote station without any problems.

I now have have changed to a Teltonika RUTX50 router and now the TS-480 gets stuck in the startup process. It only dislays "Hello" and stops there without any audio. On the control unit, the UDP command status is "error" and on the radio the UDP command status is OK (45). It it possible that the timing during the startup process is critical and that the RUTX50 is just too slow to forward the traffic in point of time ? All Port forwards have been configured correctly.

I also have a K3 & K3/0 with the Remoterig boxes in parallel and this combination  works just fine.

Any suggestions are most welcome.

The inteeruption is gone. It must have been a problem on my side with the 4G router.

Hello,

After 6 years of no changes, will the Remoterig source code ever be released for others to experiment with?

Hello Luis,

Thank you for your reply.
On the Radio (RRC) site, I have a static IPv4 address, and according to what I've read in the microbit documentation, using CGN for the Control (RRC) part doesn't pose any problems when using DHCP.
It's not clear what I should do.

Best regards, Philippe F6DQZ

This may make no sense, but try it. Change the ports on the remoterigs to an alternate port and update port forwards accordingly.

Many years ago at a specific ISP I was using, I suspected some admin was blocking certain ports I was using. By changing them around, I would get it to work again.

Today I use a VPN so that issue hasn't happened again.,

Hi Philippe,

Mobile network operators use CGNAT. Are you sure that your companies are not using this system? If so, it'll be impossible to establish a connection between your radio and control sides. Check this.

I use an internet network provided by a local company. Although my internet uses LTE, I have a fixed public IP address because my ISP uses CGNAT. Perhaps this is the problem you are experiencing.

Kind regards,
Luis, EC5A

Configuration of Routers, Firewalls, etc / 4G connection problem

« Last post by f6dqz on 2026-01-05, 12:17:51 »

Hello and  thank you for taking the time to read me,

I use RRC1258mkii with a TS480.
Everything works fine on LAN, I installed the wifi module I had on hand.
The wifi works well at home.
However, I can't get my equipment to work using my 4-5 GHz phone. If I use my phone to share my local Wi-Fi, it works.
So I bought a mobile router, but it still doesn't work.
I used another GSM operator and still nothing.
On the radio side: Freebox revolution with fiber.
Control panel: Samsung S24 phone, 5GHz SIM card , 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, DHCP ok
Or Netgear M3 MH3150 router, Free 5GHz SIM
Or Netgear M3 MH3150 router, Orange SIM GHz 
I don't know what to do anymore, can you help me?

Sincerely
Philippe F6DQZ
