K3/0 Busy Signal

[N6EE]

Newbie here.  Just bought a used K3/0 and RRC-1258MKII set and can't get the K3/0 to talk to my K3.

My issue:  when I turn on the K3/0 I get a "busy signal" (three tone sequence).  No connection to the K3.

What I did:
Downloaded latest firmware for both the K3 and the K3/0 - MCU 4.6 (although K3/0 showed error loaded DSP which I assume is correct).

Downloaded latest Microbit Setup Manager - installed OK and connects to either box OK via USB.  Radio settings set according to Elecraft K3/0 manual.

Connected both boxes to my router using ethernet cable - green PWR light steady on both boxes

Used web browser to connect directly to K3 (remote) box - URL is http:..192.168.10.17:8085   - seemed to work AOK

Used browser to connect directly to K3/0 (control) box - URL is http://192.168.10.16:8084 - seemed to work AOK

Turned on both radios and both act like a normal K3 - I can change bands, modes, etc on each radio INDEPENDENTLY - i.e. the K3/0 has no effect on the K3 (or vice versa).  And I get a continuous "busy signal" coming from the K3/0 RRC-1258MkII box.  The busy signal stops if I turn the K3/0 off.

Very frustrated.  Any help greatly appreciated.  TIA and 73, Ron N6EE

You have forgot to change the SIP contact to 192.168.10.17. The control-RRC must know to "whom he should make the call"

Yes, that was OK.  It was the password which had a 0 (zero) in the control setup and should have had an O (oh).  Now they talk - Wahoo!  That is, the K3/0 turns the K3 on and the K3 follows all the K3.0 commands.

BUT... now I get a pulsing audio in the control radio - not a steady audio stream.  Sounds like some sort of feedback loop.  Same on all bands and modes.  I tried plugging headphones into the K3/0 control radio (front or rear) and I hear the same thing in the headphones.  Tried setting Vox Gain to zero.  No effect.  Radio is tuning OK and I can sort of hear stations as I tune them in, but the pulsating audio makes it impossible to copy - same on either SSB or CW.

Any suggestion?  And THANKS for your quick reply to my earlier posting.  I appreciate it!

Found the problem with audio pulsing - I have one box set for Audio Quality 2 and for some unknown reason the other box Audio Quality set to 8. Duh.

Working on LAN.  Now to tackle over the Internet.  Wish me luck

Ok Great

You  can use different codecs but they nust have the same sample rate.

Ron,

It may be too late for you, but I can send you my networking and/or CAT and low bandwidth checklist(s)
if you send me a short mail to dj0qn (at) darc.de. This has helped over 100 people to get their RRC's to
work properly.
