Configuration, RRC 1258 / Re: IC-7100 ... How to setup for CW? ---> SOLVED!

« Last post by W4AFK on 2024-12-20, 03:43:47 »

Thanks ... I had a TS-480SAT at the remote site and replaced it with an IC-7100 to be able to have access to 2m and 70cm (talk to friend as I used to live there).  I have no problem operating CW from here (2680 miles away). Have a look at my QRZ.com page for my setup.

I use ACL as my logging program and log manually. I long abandoned contesting so I don't mind spending a bit of time logging my voice, data, or CW QSO. So I don't need the connectivity.

However, I did save what you shared as I am looking for another remote site somewhere in the San Diego California area. I have my TS-480SAT (I actually have two of them) and an ALS-600S amplifier along with another pair of RemoteRig devices, antennas, etc., looking for a ham host. I live in a condo so my ham activity is via my remote sites :-)

Configuration, RRC 1258 / Re: Control RRC-1258 - no PWR light, has power

It was a bad solder on the LED. With a tin solder point it has been solved.  I write in the forum for possible questions from other users.

Configuration, RRC 1258 / Re: RRC1258-MkII IP addresses on diferent LANs

« Last post by HB9BJL on 2024-12-17, 11:42:19 »

If your provider does not set up a public dynamic or fixed IP so that the radio site can be reached from the outside the only solution is a VPN.

Have a look at this link from HB9BLA:

A comment, as you have solved your problem already:
I have a TS-480SAT and twin TS-590S setup.
But the settings for the keying of the IC-7100 should be similar.
 
In the Control Unit I have set:
Serial settings
COM3(Extra) mode (USB-COMFSK): Mode 8, Winkeyer
This way I can use the F-Keys of the N1MM log program to send CQ etc.
Windows assigns a COM Port number when you use the supplied USB cable. I use this port in the N1MM log program for WinKey and the F-Keys to call CQ etc. This works perfectly.

IO settings
IN0 Mode: Keyer
OUT0 Mode : Keyer
OUT1 Mode: I/O
OUT2 Mode I/O
USB RTS as PTT COM0
USB DTR as CW COM 0

On the Radio Unit I have set:
IO settings
OUT 0 mode: I/O
OUT1 mode: Baudot/RTTY/45
OUT2 Mode Keyer

I connect my paddle directly to the Control unit and at the radio Unit I have a twin 3.5mm jack cable to connect PAD/KEY with the KEY input of the TS-480. This input is for a straight key. You have a similar straight key input on your radio, see page 1-14 of the IC-7100 manual. In the keyer set mode, keyer type menu, choose straight Key , see page 1-13.

Configuration, RRC 1258 / Re: TS-590S Twin Baud rate

« Last post by HB9BJL on 2024-12-17, 10:51:19 »

Hello Mike

point taken - I have set all Baud rates to 57600 (maximum possible). I think there is a small improvement. You are right, the problem is the latency over the internet connection. To make things worse, I can only connect via 4 G / LTE at the remote site and the 4G base station is very busy with cars driving on the nearby highway. No fibre optic installation in the near future (legal disputes). But it is better to have a bit of blinking during updates than nothing. My second station with a TS-480SAT is responding a lot faster so I use this rig most of the time. The receiver gets overloaded in the evening with strong signals and then it is time to go to the TS-590S, what a difference !
73 and tnx de Christian

General discussion forum / Audio noise (background noise?) from RRC v4

« Last post by lb1ti on 2024-12-07, 12:16:07 »

Hi, I'm struggling with some noise on the audio output from the RRC. I think it's originating from the RRC here at home, not the one connected to the radio, but not 100% sure about that.

According to Microbit Setup Manager I have:
Version: 004
Firmware: 2.95
HW: 005

At home I've tried adding optoisolators to all audio and it makes no difference. The noise is mostly only noticeably in two scenarios:

1. When the audio output level from the radio is low / or there is little audio / band noise.
2. With the radio audio level turned all the way down, there is still a slight background noise.

I've checked here locally whether or not disconnecting any of the IO makes a difference, and it does not.

In the attached recording I have added ~20dB of amplification (because the levels are quite low), the beginning of the clip is with the RRC on but with audio from the radio at 0, and then I turn off the RRC, noise level drops. There's still noise in the clip probably from the amplification.

My settings are as follows (at home):

Codec out gain: 240
Codec inp gain: 0
Codec inp HPF Hz: 163
Codec inp preamp: No (have also tried Yes, it makes no difference).

Radio side:

Codec out gain: 255
Codec inp gain: 0
Codec inp attenuation: No

P.s. I've also tested different codecs without any change (not that I was expecting any).

Konfiguration av Webswitchen / Re: Problem med temperatur.nu error9

« Last post by Emretsson on 2024-12-05, 16:50:56 »

Upptäckte nyligen att det inte kommer några värden från Temperatur.nu
Lite tråkigt då jag haft nytta av det tidigare, just nu har jag löst det med att byta till Shelly…
Men då Webswitchen sitter i centralen vore det bra att styra beroende av yttertemperatur.

Verkar finnas ny firmware, nån som provat?
Vill inte krångla om det inte hjälper…
