Thanks Mike,

You are a complete star... works like a dream.

Another question do you known if you can operate the Icom RS-BA1 with remote rig or does it need to be completely separate?

I find HRD hard work to scan the bands and would like to see the waterfall on the 7300 and also a VFO whoich rotates.

Thanks again.

HI Mike,

Well managed to complete you mod many months ago and the SPID works fine on the local PC using the serial connection and through team view but this is somewhat clunky.

But when i plug the serial it into the 1258 unit it just doesn't see it.
I have COM 2 mode as:

Mode 5
baud rate 1200
data bit 8
stop bit 1
parity off
Terminator 00

I am, operation the IC 7300 through remote rig which works great are then any jumps i need to move for the rotator? or am i missing something really logically

Many thanks

Hi Group,
I am currently running the remote rig system with the Icom 7300 and then the RRC micro 1258 unit on my laptop which works very well but have been trying to see if I can operate digital modes on the remote system.

First question is it possible as I could see anything in detail about operating digital over remote rig I am using the latest version of Ham Radio deluxe.
At present I can hear the digital noise, but the computer doesn’t seem to see it, when I open the sound bar up, I can see the level of volume on the windows bar for the computer and the micro unit but HRD and DM780 are at zero.
So, my thinking is if it is possible, I need to do some kind of patch with the audio both ways in the laptop? Or is it in the HRD/DM780 setup?

Many thanks

Good evening Forum,

A good friend of mine has setup most of my remote rig to the extent that everything works on the radio side. The problem I am experiencing is that I am unable to operate the rotator through remote rig.

So, this is the configuration and equipment.

The remote station is an icom 7300 using the RRC-1258MkIIs (Standard version) connections are:
•   SP to audit output from 7300
•   AUX/Mic to mic plug on 7300
•   TTL connected to the CI-V remote control jack

RRC-Micro PC-Client is on my laptop

We have been trying to use com1 to control the SPID RAU Azimuth Rotator using a parallel to USB connection from the 1258 to the rotator.
We achieve a com 1 light on the Microbit RRC Client page once we have configured the RCC Setting page under RRC COM 1
Mode – 5 User Defined 

The 1258 shows no signs of receiving the signal I have tried HRD rotator and PstRotator AZ

Any help would be great fully received as this seems somewhat a difficult one for me.

Many thanks

Richard
