General / Nano App expired

« on: 2015-10-18, 15:20:32 »

Hi gents,

after much head scratching and even purchasing a new Icom serial interface I finally managed to get the app to work, what was wrong? The cable between the CT-17 and serial port on the IC7100 was bad, new cable installed and viola, but only just realised the app licence has expired today. I meant to purchase it the other day same time as I bought another RRC-1258 control box and wifi dongle.

Anyway is there a way around getting it to work again if I purchase the licence or have I missed the boat?

Cheers es 73 de VK6EI, Tim.

What is your device manager saying. Could there be some overlapping of the ports?

Hi Roland,

thanks for the reply. good question, well I think it is though I am unsure of the answer. Below a picture of the com port list in device manager.

I shall have to do a bit of googling to see what you mean but it shall have to wait until tomorrow as I am off to bed. It is 10:30pm here in Perth and I have work at 5am in the morning.

Regards

Hi Mitch,

The unit was brand new and had never been taken out of its packaging let alone been used. It was purchased by the original ham who had never got around to using after a house move.

I have opened it up and installed the wire links as per the manual and also installed ver 1.8 client software which is what installs the drivers for the device.

Am beginning to think I should have purchased a dual RRC 1258 package and let him have the control head at the hospital. The joys of not being particularly PC savvy hihi..

Tim, VK6EI.

Hi all,

I recently bit the bullet and bought an RRC-1258 MKII and 1274A combo package. I bought them off a local VK operator who had purchased and never used.

My intention was to get it setup and running here at home connected to my Icom IC-7100 and then letting my mate who is also licensed but spending a lot of time in hospital being treated for pancreatic & liver cancer use the PC client on his laptop and work some HF from his hospital bed.

The setup came with a few cables, I have managed to configure my router thanks to Mitch and I can hear the audio fine from a wifi connected laptop, but I cannot figure out how to get the TX to work, I have connected the radio via the TTL cable that came with the unit  (I assume this is the CV-I cable as that is where I have connected it to the radio) but running HRD on the laptop I cannot get a connection.

Having a think I thought maybe a PC issue so I have connected the micro PC to another computer here at home and discovered an issue, also the same thing on the laptop when I checked. Windows 7 ultimate 64bit says there is a problem with the device. Please see the pics I have linked from my photobucket account. The same message appears for the other microbit ports on the PC as well.

Has anyone got any advise to offer? Is there anywhere to download device drivers? Or have I installed the incorrect RRCmicro software? Help muchly appreciated in any shape or form.

Hi Mitch, I know it is an old thread but any chance getting a copy of you config help as well.
