Can the PC client be used with the RRC-1258-v1 ?

Yes it works with both the 1258 v1 and the 1258MkII.
Of course the v1 need to have a recently updated firmware

Hello Mike:

Using this with a TS-480, do I need to have the RS232 port of the TS-480 connected to one of the physical ports of the RRC or does it do the control over the TTL port?

Thanks,

Tim

Hi

you have to use the CAT port (RS-232). The serial interface between control-panel and radio is different from the public one at the CAT port

Hi,

do I understand that correctly: all setups with detached frontpanel will have to put a CAT-Interface at the radio site and the remote TRX is then controlled via CAT, only audio and the two COM-ports are available via the new PC-client.

What about CW? Is there any functionality to send CW via paddle connected to the PC-client?

Simon,

Think you have it wrong, there are 3 comports, com0-1-2, com0 can be used to connect TTL level from TS480/2000 and ICOM-CIV (TTL), com0 has also the transparant mode.
I think that it must be possible to connect nomatter what radio who was CAT via RS232 to the ttl input from com0 (mode=transparant) BUT ONLY via rs232/ttl converter, maybe the software also need some changes.
Mike allready sells these RS232/TTL converters for the Webswitch  ;)
