Allmänt diskussionsforum / Plötsligt ingen/ibland skakig förbindelse

« Last post by SM0HEV on 2025-01-04, 08:45:49 »

Efter 5 års perfekt drift så får jag sedan härom kvällen plötsligt inte längre någon förbindelse mellan burkarna... jo ibland efter att ha gjort reset på båda burkarna, får man till en uppkoppling ..ljud kommer fram en kort stund men sen tänds den röda leden och ljudet försvinner för att ibland återkomma korta stunder.  Status visar "transferring", "faulty" och "Stalled".  Port forwarding på routern verkar funka -jag har en kamera på port 1025 som jag kommer åt från utsidan.
Internetleverantören (Telia) påstår sig inte gjort några ändringar.
Finns det något sätt att testa var felet kan ligga ?

Configuration, RRC 1258 / Re: CAT control ... Solution?

« Last post by W4AFK on 2025-01-04, 05:47:49 »

Did yoiu ever find a solution to this problem?

Here is mine (posted but no opne has replied (sigh)

- Can you set the CT-17 to 19,200 bps?
- If so, is it automaticall.y recogmized?
 
Computer configuration:
- Computer (HRD, or RS-BA1, or RTSystems) --> (USB) RemoteRig --> Internet --> RemoteRig (serial) --> DB25-DB9 converter --> Icom CT-17 --> IC-7100 radio "Remote" jack / 9600 bps.
 
I have it set for 9600 bps and I have issues remote controlling the IC7100. I want to try higher data rate but I don't know if the CT-17 will automatically recongize it, or if it's even doable.
 
The CT-17 manual only mentions 1200 baud BUT I have it at 9600 and it works but it's sluggish and unusable (HRD, RS-BA1 nor can I read/wriote to the IC-7100 using RTSystems softweare). Per the IC-7100, I can use CI-V up to 19,200 bps.
 
Has anyone had experience setting their IC-7100 to go through the CT-17 at higher baud rates (19,200 bps)?
 
Link - I have 1 Gbps U/D fiber at this end and HS Cable (100Mbps/10 Mbps) on the CT-17 / IC7100 end
 
I used to remote control my previous TS-480SAT with no problem and I do have a Flex 6400 which is also working fine. My issue is that I cannot remote control, program, or run data via the RemoteRig + CT-17 interfaces. The control head works just fine for voice mode.

Disappointing ... I have received no feedback for this message and others that I have posted regarding the IC-7100 and the Remote Rig interfaces. I can't believe that no one has configured a remote controlled IC-7100 using a pair of RRs and a CT-17

Hey Ken, et al

Any updated observations to share on using the serial port of the Alpha 87a for remote control? I need to swap out the KPA1500 in my remote and install an 87a. Any wisdom from you or the assembled masses would be most welcomed.

I have just been QRV in RAC-contest.
Everything worked fine for about 20 minutes and then almost every transmisson had corrupt CW and also transmission were hanging for parts of a second:
Impossible to continue with keying from N1MM

General discussion forum / Bad CW after a year with N1MM+ and Remoterig

« Last post by sm6dhf on 2024-12-28, 10:50:46 »

Hi, I have had an extremly good remote station for over a year when I started to get "stutters" hanging CW operating N1MM via USB-port.
My station is a Kenwood TS480SAT.
I have tried with two different computers abd even changed the USB-cable.
I switch TS480 off and just use sidetones from Remoterig and listen to my transmissions.
Actually I thought for a while that the new USB-cable fixed it as it took about 5 minutes before the problem started.
I have a ping time between 9-13ms with good fiber connection at both ends.
After reading other posts I have changed some setting in Control RRC.
At the moment I have:
Advanced settings
RX Jitter deley 10 (from 3)
Buffer size 12 (from 4)
RTP tx mode Continous
Keyer settings:
Keying delay 50 (from 40)
LF delay 50 (from 40)
I have had this problem now for a couple of months and often I have to run contests with keyer at PAD-jack and logging manually.
Sometimes I can use N1MM for 20-30 minutes and then the stutters and hanging starts
T really need some help!

Konfiguration av Webswitchen / Re: Heating/Cooling control, cycle

« Last post by SM5PHU on 2024-12-26, 21:39:17 »

Tack!

Jag tog lite tid på mig, eftersom jag ville vara på plats och kunna höra att kontaktorn klonkar när jag tror att den ska göra det.
Manualen är inte helt lättbegriplig om man bara vill göra något så simpelt som att använda webswitchen som en rumstermostat.
Så här ser det ut just nu, återstår att se om det funkar som jag tror.

Configuration, RRC 1258 / Help! Anyone successfully reading/programming a remote IC-7100 via software?

« Last post by W4AFK on 2024-12-20, 03:59:17 »

I am looking for help from anyone who has successfully managed to remotely read and program an IC-7100 via a pair of RR1258 devices.

I am pretty sure that I have the settings right but I am not able to do so using RT-Systems software or even manage the radio using Icom's RS-BA1 software. RS-BA1 connects, is very slow, but that's it. I was able to download once using RT-Systems but never after. However, I was never able to upload to the radio.

I am using a real Icom CT-17 CI-V interface between the radio (remote jack) and the Remote Rig (COM2 9600 8n1). The control panel works fine and I have been saving settings to the radio's SD-Card (just in case). But I can't download or upload using any software.
 
Brainstorming ...
- Can I set the baud rate higher in the RR and the IC-7100?
- If so, will the Icom CT-17 auto detect a higher baud rate?

Configuration, RRC 1258 / Re: IC-7100 ... How to setup for CW? ---> SOLVED!

« Last post by W4AFK on 2024-12-20, 03:43:47 »

Thanks ... I had a TS-480SAT at the remote site and replaced it with an IC-7100 to be able to have access to 2m and 70cm (talk to friend as I used to live there).  I have no problem operating CW from here (2680 miles away). Have a look at my QRZ.com page for my setup.

I use ACL as my logging program and log manually. I long abandoned contesting so I don't mind spending a bit of time logging my voice, data, or CW QSO. So I don't need the connectivity.

However, I did save what you shared as I am looking for another remote site somewhere in the San Diego California area. I have my TS-480SAT (I actually have two of them) and an ALS-600S amplifier along with another pair of RemoteRig devices, antennas, etc., looking for a ham host. I live in a condo so my ham activity is via my remote sites :-)
