Hi Neil

Sorry, I thought that answer was obvious.  Any kind of software supporting CAT will work, i.e. dozens of programs including that one

Still no joy here I have the RRC 1258 connected to the TS480 with a serial cable I can connect with RRC micro and have flashing LED's for RTP & RRC but no audio. When I try to connect with ARCP 480 I receive the message " Unknown device connected to COM2 or baud rate in this software does not match transceiver"  I am using ver 2.88 and a 1274B  with windows 7 I have checked that ports are open and checked the speeds in the radio and RRC's. The RRC's work fine with the control face of the TS480 at this QTH  so the system works fine in that sense. Again to confirm I DO NOT need a CPU at the remote site, simply connecting the RRC1258 to the TS480 via a serial cable on COM2 should allow CAT control of the radio with ARCP480.

Neil,

It is really straightforward and I can't understand why you would have a problem. The hard part is
getting the RemoteRig system to work in the first place, which you already have. Then all you do is
to make sure that CAT is setup per my checklist. Then set RRC Micro to use that serial port and the
other connectivity settings (SIP contact, password and ports) as you do in the RRC. After hitting connect, it
should indicate a connection and then you can start any CAT program to use at that point.

So let me make some random comments and ideas what you can look for:

- No computer is involved on the radio side
- You can test CAT to see if it is working by connecting a PC on the control side to the RRC's COM2 
per my checklist and using a program of your choice.
- Audio has nothing to do with CAT, it comes through the same SIP connection that you use for the control
RRC. If it works for the RRC, it must work on the RRC Micro, assuming you entered the settings correctly.
- No ports need to be opened in Windows, this is outgoing.
- Did you set the CAT rate in the TS-480 to match the RRC (step 1 on my checklist)? In ARCP-480 as well?
- Are you using the correct Windows virtual serial port for COM2 for ARCP-480?

Go through this list and see if it helps. If you need any help and will only be at the station a short time, I can
take a look via Teamviewer and see what is wrong. In that case, mail me directly at dj0qn (at) darc.de and
I will see when I get a chance.

I certainly agree setting up the RRC initially is the difficult part usually, I have gone thru the check list and believe I have it set up right I have confirmed the proper speed in the RRC com port as well as in
The ARCP480 and the TS480  Menu.  I am at quite a loss, I spoke to VE6WZ one city to the south he is using a very similar installation with no issues. I can connect with RRC Micro but there is no audio on a windows 10 and 7 CPU using the internal sound card and drivers or with a blue tooth or wifi audio headset (Steve suggested it as a possible solution )  I may take a bit of a break with the xmas season but I will be sure to report the final solution thanks for your help Mitch.
Neil
