Configuration, RRC 1258 / Codec inp gain issue

« on: 2013-12-05, 02:37:49 »

I am operating a pair of 1258 MKII units Version 5 with firmware 2.75

Company   Microbit
Product   1258
PID   4
Version   5
HW   6
Software   2.75
Bootloader   1.8
Compiler   4.6.2
Build   Oct 31 2013 16:36:10
ROM/RAM   450472/41872
ETH-RAM   2944 (max 3kB)
USB-RAM   15312 (max 16kB)
ResetSrc   0 [3]
Uptime   1 Days, 3 Hours, 24 Mins, 37 Secs
Serial number   3506

I am operating a Yaesu FT-100d with the head at the "control" end.

I am having a problem with the Codec Inp Gain of the radio unit.

The units are running on a transparent Wi-Fi link, so both are setup on the same LAN as 192.168.0.XXX

On the web page setup for the radio unit, I can decrease Codec Inp Gain, "submit", and "apply changes".  The unit re-starts and the audio from the radio is decreased appropriately.

However, if I wish to increase Codec Inp Gain, I click "submit", and "apply changes".  The unit re-starts, however, the audio levels are not changed.

I find that if I go to the remote site and remove and then restore power to the unit then the Codec Inp Gain increase will actually take effect.

This seems like a firmware issue to me.  I wonder if anyone can replicate this ?

Thanks, Steve-dog, k5dog

I have made the changes that I described above, and now the radio is working well.

Mike,

Yes, there is an error in the drawings.
On both FT-100 connectors Pin#4 should connect to TTL Pin#6 instead of Pin#1
Also on both units, Pin 1 of P5B (which is connected to TTL Pin#6) should have a jumper to "PWR SW" P5B Pin#9.

When those things are changed, the FT-100 seems to work very well.

Probably very few FT-100 users now, and of those, very few have the extender kit required.
I personally use several of these radios at remote locations, and I greatly appreciate your work on this radio.

Thanks again.

I am having a hard time understanding why the power on/off switch (FT-100 Front Panel and Radio  Pin#4)  connects to ground on both ends (TTL connector Pin#1)?  How can this cause the RRC's to connect?

Thanks
Steve, k5dog

Robin,
Bruker du radioen med kontroll hodet skilt?
Eller bruker du HRD eller lignende med CAT?

From an old post:

Yes RRC1258MkII ver 7 can be used to remote the FT-100, but I have not had time to update the manual yet. It may take some time as Im on vacation now.

I have an RRC1258MkII Ver 5.  Can I use that with the FT-100 if I do the FT-857 hardware mods?

Tnx,
Steve-dog, k5dog

No problem, v7 can handle all rigs that v6 does.

I would like to use the RRC-mk2s to remote the front panel of my FT-100d.  Does the FT-857 capability apply to the Ft-100d as well?
