Hi All, I am seriously considering a TS-480. Working on this idea right now. Thanks for info in the thread, it is useful. My IC706MKIIG just got killed by lightning. Waiting to see if I can get a replacement radio body. It had been running remotely for many years, and the Remoterig system is amazingly stable.

Question: What antenna and tuner combinations are you using?

General discussion / Setup RRC Micro to work with ICOM 706MKIIG Remote Station

« on: 2012-06-25, 21:26:28 »

Situation: I have a normal reliable remote station - ICOM 706MKIIG and RRC-1258 boxes. Radio is on a hill top, and the control head at home. Wish to use my new RRC-Micro Client, but I get a busy notification when connecting, so have to shut the radio off. Then RRC-Micro appears to connect to the remote IP address, but of course the radio has been turned off.  Also, quite confused about the various COM ports and virtual COM ports. Any general assistance and ideas would be appreciated.

I got it working. Needed to set Out1 to Keyer, not Out0.

Tnx, Alan VA7AWM

I am unable to get CW working on my ICOM 706MKIIG. Have done all the usual setup and testing. Have been using voice for a while now, everything working good.

 Anything I might have missed for CW setup?

Tnx, Alan VA7AWM

I just received an 5-day expiration notice from DynDNS, so apparently my remote is not renewing. Here is a copy of my remote settings:

DynDNS settings 
DynDNS check interval   60
Own host name   va7xxx.xxx.net as registered
Username   as registered
Password   as registered

I have nothing to change on this screen to correct any problem. My remote is at a DMZ location on the lan.

I just signed into DynDNS and my username/password and DNS/IP address are all correct with them.

Tnx, Alan VA7AWM

I believe that pinging a dyndns url is not useful, because we are using the free service.

My station is fully operational now, and the main lesson I learned is to be patient after plugging the Radio RRC into its LAn connection. Give DynDNS a chance to work.

You are correct about the DMZ. Also correct about not using DHCP at the Radio end.

Any further questions? I am just a newbie too, but would be glad to share experiences.

I have completed my initial remote control testing on my LAN, and now I am just starting with DynDNS, and having trouble like you. In answer to your question, I was able to log into my DynDNS account via my web browser and update my IP location. However, I am sure this is not the proper way to do this, as it defeats the "Dynamic" concept. Update: Yes, that is something you can do, because the address on the DynDNS web site only represents a snapshot. It really doesn't matter because your Radio RRC will move to its new location. Just won't be shown update on the DynDNS.com website.

Update: Good News, after a half-hour of staring at everything, DynDNS working. Had to select DHCP YES on the radio IP page. Remote control now working between 2 separate internet providers. Still on the test-bed in my shack. I use Shaw Cable internet and Rogers Portable Internet. Note: It turns out that I am keeping DHSP at NO, once I got my router working.

Update: Bad News, inserted the Linksys router at the Radio end, and have lost contact and DynDNS connection. Looking at all settings on router and radio control.

Update: Better news, just established remote radio with Linksys Router installed. Need to review settings. Had to unplug and restart the router.
