SDA100
We have noticed that you need a later version of the SDA100 and transceiver interface to communicate to the RC1216H.  When you turn on the SDA100 notice on the lower right of the display, you should see "99", if not the RC1216H will not communicate with the SDA100.

We are now testing the new RC1216H with the Yaesu Twins (9000 to 9000) and the SDA100.  We have redone the "Y" cable to eliminate the need for the two NULL (DB9) connectors.  There is a modification to the SteppIR "Y" cable that will fix this.  So far the RC1216H is working great and the software is completely monitoring and controlling a MonstIR at 45 meters across a T1 network.

Many thanks to Martti and Mikael and his team for getting the FTdx9000 to FTdx9000 meters to work.  This now completes a great remote system at W6BH.  Please go to www.w6bh.com to see the Radio Ranch.  We will be updating the site to show all the Microbit RRC's and the completely new set up.  We have worked over 150 DXCC and finished 1st Multi WWCQ (6th area)160 Meter contest so far using the Yaesu Twins.

We replaced the ProSisTel controller with the Green Heron and found the refresh rate on our T1 network much faster with the Green Heron.  With the ProSisTel, we had to refresh the page every 45 seconds to keep it alive and had long delays when commanding the controller.  With the Green Heron, the command is within one second and we not refresh the page every 10 min.....

We are now using (5) Green Heron Controller at the Radio Ranch (www.w6bh.com) via the Web Switch with great success.  The network is a T1 with (5) Web Switches and (5) Green Heron's.  FTdx9000MP toFTdx9000MP using the Yaesu Twins...

General discussion forum / Re: Issues when updating the RRC's Firmware using USB

« on: 2011-04-13, 00:11:29 »

This might sound crazy, but try unplugging all external USB devices from your computer.  With just the RRC plugged into the USB port, try to program the RRC.  Maybe the RRC needs all the current the USB port can provide?

I have successfully connected the SDA100 using the RRC Yaesu Twins through a "Y" cable.  However, it requires two NULL MODEMS in line between the Yaesu (DB9) and the data line to the RRC.  The data line to the SDA100 is straight through.
Has anyone else tried this?
