Configuration, RRC 1258 / Re: Just want to connect paddle, speaker, and mic - no control / what's the setup??

« on: 2021-05-31, 03:52:22 »

tnx Mike. I just hooked up this configuration and it's solid. I also found that the mic for the Btech mobile 2m radio on my desk is plug and play compatible with the remoterig mike jack.

Configuration, RRC 1258 / Just want to connect paddle, speaker, and mic - no control / what's the setup??

« on: 2021-04-19, 20:17:44 »

The manual covers General setup with PC control with the PC is running a control application such as HRD. It does not cover the situation where no control whatsoever is desired.

I have a K3-twin configuration. I want to repurpose it for SunSDR2. I don't plan to use CAT since I will be using remote desktop for rig control. All I need is to get the speaker, key and mic working at the control side.

My plan is to just change the Program Mode from 14 (Elecraft Twins) to 4 (Yaesu, Kenwood, Elecraft) in setup and to leave the jumpers as they are. Will this work? Are there any other changes I need to make to the K3/twin configuration to get this working?

Also, I am accustomed to turning on the K3/0 to make the connection. How does this configuration turn on/off, or does it just stay connected always?

Yes, the built in speakers do work.

General discussion / No Sound - Dongle problem?

« on: 2015-02-24, 18:29:37 »

Last spring I briefly used the device but the sound failed after a few days. I re-installed the software and drivers, but was unable to get it going again. Since the software was beta at that time, I decided to wait for new software before investing more time. I have a k3 - k3/0 remoterig system working and stable.

This week I downloaded the latest RRC software (ver 1.7) and tried again with no success (lenovo w520, win7 pro). Thinking it might be the laptop, I installed the software on a Dell Inspiron 5520 and tested for sound. Still no sound.

At this point, I am wondering if I have a defective dongle?

Here is my previous post from last spring...

Can the Micro be set to  turn the K3 on/off or do I need to leave the radio turned on all the time to use it?

Sounds similar to my problem. See my post. I was able to see green bars on the 1274a when I selected the computer speaker as default, but don't get any audio. No solution yet.

I've drilled down on this a bit more. When I select the 1274a as the speaker, the sound comes out of the computer speaker. When I select the computer speaker, the windows panel shows audio on the 1274a (green bars moving), but no sound from the 1274a or the computer speaker. I have removed and reinstalled both the computer sound card and the 1274a to no effect. The windows sound test produces chimes in the computer speakers but not in the 1274a.  I am running a thinkpad w520 with Win7. any ideas?

I un-installed both sound cards (laptop and 1274a) and re-installed them. I re-booted a few times. Still just getting sound from the laptop sound card, regardless of which one is selected in the rrc menu. The 1274a is default in win7.

Question: when things are working properly, is it possible to run the windows sound test (3 chimes in each ear) on the 1274a and hear the chimes? When I run this test I get silence.

I had everything set up and working fine. Made Q's on cw and ssb. Then I got a loud continuous squeal in the headset while I was calling the ZL7 and wasn't able to get it to stop, despite rebooting. So, I rolled back win7-64 bit to a point when things were working and was able to make it operational with (hopefully) just one quirk remaining.

My quirk is that I only get audio through the computer speakers. Regardless of which speakers I select in the RRC menu, audio comes from the computer speakers. The 1274a is the default selection for speakers. I believe this is because the RRC audio isn't functioning properly, so the computer switches to speakers that are functioning? For example, in the Sound menu of Win7, when I test the 1274a for audio, I hear nothing, while testing the computer speakers emits the test tones.

Any suggestions? tnx...

General discussion forum / RRC-Micro registration on two laptops?

« on: 2014-03-01, 21:35:14 »

I just received the Micro from HRO. I have the trial version loaded on a laptop. How do I activate the full version of the software? Also, I have two laptops I want to use. I could not load even the trial on the second laptop. The error message says the my callsign is already in use on the first laptop. True, but I need it to run on both... thanks...

Talked to Elecraft. It's a known issue which will be addressed someday. It's a display glitch on the local which does not affect operation.

« on: 2013-11-13, 16:21:24 »

I have a k3-k3/0 set up going. Previously, I had a switch connected to the acc socket on the k3 to match the antenna to the band. Now, the ACC socket with the band output is occupied by the RRC1258 I/O connection.

How do I get band information to the antenna switch?

General discussion forum / PTT switches local from USB to CW

« on: 2013-11-06, 17:02:13 »

Just installed k3 with k3/0.  Front panel PTT switches local from USB to cw mode (remote stays in USB). When I release PTT, local goes back to usb mode. If I press XMIT on front panel instead of mike PTT, local stays in USB mode. Checked all wiring and config settings. I am out of ideas. Any suggestions?
