PC CLIENT SETUP

[K7MT]

I just got my PC Client, loaded the software and pluged the dongle in to the USB port and it was recognized. I set up WR7AGT's IP address etc in the contact list but it will not connect and times out. I also loaded ARCP-TS480 Software to use with the PC Client but cannot get it to work.

There are no instructions about the com ports so how do I set this up to get it working without instructions please. Is there a manual or instruction on the web as I looked at the web site but no instructions for the PC Client were listed.  Help !!!!

Thanks,

I have the RRC PC Client hooking up to the remote TS-480 after getting SIP and audio correct.  However, I do not have receive audio.  I see the Green Bar moving and no audo through the 1274A Dongle to my headset (I checked out headset and it is working ok) ??

Second, I loaded the ARCP-480 Software and set it up for COM1. Then I setup PC Client Software COM1 as COM1 57600 and the software will not talk to the com port in PC Client after I hook up to the remote TS-480 site.  It indicates another application is using the comport or the baud rate is incorrect.  The remote site has COM0 setup as 57.600 as speed so do I need to setup COM0 virtual comport on PC Client then say the TS-480 software as available com port.  It is just confusing without any documentation/instruction on how to setup the TS-480 ARCP software to the PC Client virtural COM port so one can control the remote TS-480.

Hoping to get it operational soon.  Thanks and look forward to any help..

I would recommend using either TTL(COM0) or COM2 in RRC-box.
All cables described and delivered are designed for that.
Using COM1 needs other cables.

If you don't get things in order I can help using a remote connection
when I get back to work. I will be away most of Monday but after that.

Hi Roland,

Ok, I finally got this figured out thanks to W8SAI in Cinncinati, Oh who has PC Client. I set up for his ICOM with ham Radio Deluxe and it works fine. What I did not know before was the remote site needed to have the serial cable hooked up from the remote rig to the Kenwood TS-480. Tom WR7AGT who owns the site and Mike KB8ML each have a remote rig and a control head at thier respective homes and that works fine.  We will go to the site and plug in a serial cable from the remote rig to the radio and do the settings so I can log in with PC Client. 

It would have nice to know this when I ordered the PC Client/Dongle. Had instructions been included it would have been a simple setup for a PC Client user if they knew the remote site was setup with serial cable so PC Client can be used.

Whew - that was easy once I got the information. I am going to have fun..

I agree that instructions could be better and will take a look into how to make that better
