I should describe it as a "power line event"  blown fuse and bridge rectifier in Astron PS20 power supply. The TS480SAT survived ok  the SPE1KFA powers up but does not work Laptop is ok. I replaced the supply and stripped the station down to only it and the TS480SAT and RR box running V2.95. I can connect remotely with RRC Micro and ARCP480 and it works well. I can not connect remotely with two different  RR boxes and Control heads both do nothing no response at all. I installed my spare RR box and radio at the site and nothing changed, the back up was loaded with the BIN file from the site as all my other backups were lost in an HD failure. I can connect a control head to the radio TTL port  and it works fine I have swapped TTL cables and the spare box and radio were not on site and I confirmed both worked at home on the LAN. I am confused as to what the problem could be. In the past I have had corrupted data in my on site modem where port address changed to ascii data instead of actual port digits. I have reviewed the data in the router port forwarding and RR box but see nothing unusual. I will soon have the ability to port forward at my home and can check my spares on the WAN in the city I have tested them on the LAN, its a 200km trip to the remote site. Any thoughts would be appreciated and hopefully inspirational as I am at a loss as to what to do next.

Hi
LF delay only mutes sidetone from the radio, if you can turn off sidetone in the radio you don't need it. For the "Key delay" is no otherway than testing to increase it, no measurements

Finally, a reply!  Thanks, Mike.  I currently have Lf delay 60 ms and Key delay 60 ms.  I don't know which of these to experiment with first.  I am fortunate to have a good internet connection with very low latency and jitter.  Is there a way to test the connection, or is experimenting with various settings the way to start?

I just obtained a set of RRCs to use with a K3/0 and K3.
DJ0QN once provided a set of checklists that made the setup easier.
I hope someone saved them and can report them here, or email them to me

Hi
It's not the I/O settings which is important it's the Keyer settings. Keyer should be activate, and the most important setting is "Key delay" which set the buffering before the CW is sent. It should be set to minium 50 ms if you work over the internet. If you still get garbled keying it's because of Internet Jitter and you need to increase the Key delay setting even more

I have been using two RRC1258's and two FTDX5000's in Yaesu Twin config for five years.  I am not satisfied with the CW generated by the RRC.  What are the optimal I/O settings?  I currently have the folowing I/O settings at the Control radio:

IN0           I/O
OUT0        Keyer
OUT1        Keyer
OUT2        Keyer
USB RTS   COM1
USB DTR   COM2

At the Remote radio:

OUT0 Mode     Keyer
OUT0 on/fff     Off

OUT1 Mode     Keyer
OUT1 on/off    Off
 
OUT2 Mode     Keyer
OUT2 on/off    Off

I have a speaker in parallel with the SP output of the Control RRC.  With my FTDX5000 off, I can generate excellent CW with my Begali paddle.  When I actually key the radio, I am not totally satisfied with the quality of the CW sent over the air.  Stations copy it well enough, but it is sometimes described as "choppy" or--my term--"sloppy"  My question is:  What are the recommended settings for your RRC at the Control and Remote sites?  I use N1MM+ logger with Winkey checked, but that is not a RRC-related setting.  Just curious what settings I might want to change for improved transmitted CW.

Hello everybody.
Has one ever tried to remotely control an UB50 Antenna with RC-1216H from remoterig? If so I would be very interested to get in touch with this person.

Tyvärr blir det inga specialfunktioner. 2820 är väldigt speciell i sitt beteende, vilket gör det ännu svårare. Trots det har jag en här som är uppkopplad mot ett berg 24/7

Send an email to Limmared and ask them about it?
