Hardware, Cabling, Installations / Re: CW speed knob mod in V0.1

Ok, I should have used my second brain cell, too.
In control unit's keyer setting menu one should set parameter "Speed wpm [0/10-40]" to 0, this activates the newly installed cw potentiometer. Now, it works well.

Hardware, Cabling, Installations / CW speed knob mod in V0.1

« on: 2014-09-10, 19:28:42 »

Hi.

I have RRC-1258 V1.0 and I've made CW mod for it, i.e., I installed the missing CW speed potentiometer into my control box. I followed the mod instruction given on remoterig web pages (http://www.remoterig.com/v1/en/cw_gen.htm). Knob has been installed but nothing happens, the CW-speed doesn't change thougt I rotate the knob. What's wrong? My firmware version is 2.80 and the controlled radio is IC-706 mk2g.

Thanks, Mike.

Now the control unit works again. Actually, I chose on command line s (system) and then c (setup default 1 (control)). After that I managed to make ethernet connection to the control unit, and now I can set settings by using my web browser.
Thanks very much for your advises, Mike. Now I can get my things work again. FB!

So, I installed Puttytel.exe on my WIN7 laptop and connected serial cable between the control unit (front side female 9-pin D-connector) and laptop COM1. By using Puttytel.exe and setting serial parameters as Mike told me, I got the connection to my unit. Below is the text output on my command window. One can see the commands told above. If this might interest someone.

c: codec

Hi, Mike.

Thanks for your answer.
I connected to my control unit via COM1 and I got this kind text output from the unit, pse see below. So, it seems to be somehow alive. Can you conclude something from this output? Is there something I can do to find out the problem?

Hardware, Cabling, Installations / Control unit cannot be connected

« on: 2014-06-27, 10:05:35 »

Hi.
I have RRC-1258 boxes version 1.0. I have problem with my control unit. I'd like to reconfigure it but I cannot connect to it either via Ethernet nor via USB  (PC <-> control unit). I have tried to reset the unit to default settings (long reset abt 18 secs) but there seems to be something wrong. When I reset my radio unit, it works fine, and I can connect to it with my PC and I can make settings by using the RRC unit's web interface. But when I try to reset the control unit, the leds flashes differently compared to the radio unit and the radio unit gives no responce when I try to connect to it by using my PC's web browser. So, is it possible that the firmware of the control unit has been corrupted and how could it be fixed to get the unit working again?

General discussion forum / Controlling other radios than IC-706 with Package for IC-706

« on: 2009-09-11, 15:21:50 »

Hi.

Is it possible to control via internet other ICOM radios than only IC-706's
by using the package configured for IC-706. For instance, can I use this package
to control, for instance, IC-756proIII, so that I use PC and HRD at the operator end?
How about other manufacturer's radios?
