General discussion forum / K3S remote setup has inccessible functions using 1258S

« on: 2019-02-26, 12:02:56 »

Hi, all concerned:

With much help from many sources, for which I am thankful, I now have an operational remote control system: K3/0 to remoterig 1258s in Cincinnati OH, to WAN, to remoterig 1258s, to K3S, to antenna, now installed in the site pictured on my QRZ page.

We had a long cold dark thunderstormy late session setting up the SPECTRUM-provided ARRIS router at the remote site properly.
SPECTRUM does not allow access to the router by WAN; only by LAN.
Next test will be to take a generic router to the site and see if we can set it up for WAN access.

A 40M inverted-vee dipole at 120 ft apex height does play fairly well.
Better antennas and higher power are forthcoming <grin>

I tried to program the K3S front-panel MESSAGE memories per the K3S user manual instructions, and was unsuccessful, which got me to wondering if others have found inoperative functions.

I look forward to any and all responses, tks.

Hi, Mike:
The short story: CW xmit works properly again since I changed IO settings today and saved the parameters.
Tks for your suggestion.
I intend to become more familiar, as I read the manual closely, with the effect that changing various settings has on system operation.
Having the system on 1 workbench makes it easier.

My intended remote site is on google earth here:
39°     21'    36.44" West               -84°   41'    31.79" North
39.360122°                                  -84.692164°
It is a former AT&T microwave relay site.

Hi, all concerned:

Have K3/0 to RRcwspd to router to RRnocwspd to K3/100, set up on workbench at control location for troubleshooting.

I have comm, indicated by all functions working except cannot cause K3/100 to transmit.

Have tried different cables, double-checked connections, upgraded firmwares, the "easy" things.

K3/100 xmits when not in system.

Is there a way, such as loopback or other, to tell which RR box might be causing the problem?
