problem with ft857
« on: 2013-06-07, 13:54:03 »
Hi all
And sorry for my english

A friend buy rrc1258mk2 V7 and i am trying to configure with a FT857. With the user manual page 150 to 154.
Strap are ok (testing)
jmp also on control: jmp1=0 jmp2=0 jmp3=1 jmp5=0.
radio: jmp3=1 jmp5=0
Câbles Y9a are also ok  ( I make 4 cables) and test it
I am working on a local LAN ( without internet)
The lan between the ctrl and the radio is ok, in web interface
In my configuration I put the program mode to : 15-FT857/8900 and nothing happens ( no yellow led on the aux/mic ) and no connection
When I am changing program mode to : 3-FT8x7/FT1000x or 4-Yaesu/keenwood/elecraft,  the yellow led is ok ans I have on the control: control panel ON, Radio OFF, Connectio OK,SIP status connected 
on the radio, Ihave: Radio off , Connection status ok, SIP connected
But when I press the starter button on the remote façade, nothing happens , the radio don't start..............
I testing since 2 days and impossible to start the radio
I test also many firmware : 2.72, 2.71, 2.66, 2.57
I also change power supply

I am also using olders 1258MK2s with the same FT857. I modified in hardware the control ans the unit and they are working very well since last year on the same LAN
Someone will have an idea ???
Thank you

Hi
If you already have one setup working you know how to set up the parameters. So it's probably the cables or red straps which is the problem. Be aware of that you cannot not use the same cables as for the other setup. Also be aware that the end marked yellow on the drawings must be connected to the RRC, it's not working if you connect the cables backwards. Also check that the red straps are not broken with an ohm-meter.

Hello and thank you for the answer
yes I know for cables, I made the y9a as the manual pages 153 and 154.
I will test again and also check the red straps.

HI
Ok, it works now, there was a problem (broken wire) in the cable side Y9A RRC-control.
I ordered (cleaner) new cables on your webshop. thank you to the ski troubleshooting.
