Jan,

The USB cable was disconnected.  And, sure, I'll give you a hand testing the software. :-)

Regards,
Sergey.

Summary of running RRCs for one week:

1. OS used: Windows, Linux, Mac os
2. Programs tried: HRD (win and Linux), MacloggerDX (mac), Commander (win)
3. All programs tested with direct connections to the rig to baseline the performance (ic746pro, microham USB interface II), and with RRCs running across Internet (average ping time 6-10 ms, fiberoptic ISP connections at both ends, routers set up in DMZ mode for the remote RRC IP, all SIP/NAT/DDOS filtering off).

I. Regardless of OS, application and network setup, the direct USB0 control of the rig stops working after a short time (minutes).
II. When operating remote using serial interfaces between the computer and the control RRC, the setup worked without freeszing, but there were considerable Icom response delays when rapidly changing the frequency through the software.

III. MacloggerDX reported "poll errors".  Further debugging revealed the following messages associated with those errors.

RadioController:getRadioReport:elapsed time: [176.227987] ms

The elapsed time would vary from 100ms to 1000ms.  The constantly running ping tests did not show any network degradation.

Most likely the RRCs were choking on frequency change data running across the link. (CPU overrun?)

If you need any specific log data, please ask.

Jan,

Thanks for looking into the situation.

Just curious, what USB chipset are you using in RRC?

This problem only manifests when using the USB0 connection on the Control RRC.  When I connect the computer to the COM2 of the RRC, the link between the MacloggerDX and the remote 746 stays solid.

Once I go back to the USB connection between the controlling computer and the Control RRC (USB0), the link stays for a few minutes and then hangs.

I'm attaching a trace log of the communications with the remote 746 using RRC's COM2.

Within a minute or so of using USB0 on the Control RRC to control the remote 746pro, the rig software gets disconnected from the remote radio. The Control RRC then needs to be restarted to reconnect to the radio again.  (the audio stream is  fine all the time)

The same setup works fine when I move from the USB0 to COM2.

The error log and the config files are attached.
