Will the control & radio remote rigs connect to each other if there's no radio?

[MW0NRE]

Just doing the initial setup and thought I'd check that the remoterigs were connecting but I'm seeing Disconnected, is this expected with no radio gear attached, or have I done something wrong?

Niamh,

Mike may wish to confirm, but I am very sure that it can not connect without a rig.

Thanks Mitch, I was trying to proceed in small steps checking each stage.

Hi

both files are from the control-rrc

in ft-857 mode it will not work without a radio as PWR-ing on the frontpanel is initiating the connection

modes where there is a connect button on the status  page will work without a radio

That'll teach me to rush! Correct radio config attached.

Will try a different mode to test that the remoterigs are communicating
