TMV71 issues

[EA1NK]

As far as D710 and V71 service manuals states I assume the wiring to RRCs is the same for both radios. I made the cables but when I press the power on nothing happens. ¿Has anyone tried this rig?.

Jumper settings are ok for the 9v to the panel and I'm using two switching power supplies 12v/4A to feed the boxes, so it seems this is not the problem.

Any help will be wellcome.

Hi

Even if the cabling is the same, the data signaling can be different, you can not say  before, as there is no documentation available.

Thanks for the fast response, as d710 and v71 can be swapped I thought RR might work.

 Serial protocol of both rigs is the same also, I managed to remote my v71 trough PC port with self made app and RR though, but would like to use the panel instead.

Yes I used the configuration of the cables for the D710 - the front panels for those two radios are interchangeable.

The software in the remoterig boxes in the Kenwood mode does not recognise the power-on command - that is different on the D710 and the TM-V71.
There for on COM-0 I used program mode 3 (that for Yaesus radios) that is transparent, and opens op a connection right away.

I used the telnet debug mode of the Remoterig boxes to see if the serial data was coming thru - that might help you.

The connecetion is not 100% stable - but it works. I tried it from a hotel room in Norway and back to my QTH in Copenhagen Denmark. The network on the hotel was WIFI, so I shared it using my Laptop.

I even tried to use com 2 to control my Yaesu 857, and with some relays and the I/O ports I was able to use both my radios. The Kenwood with front and the Yaesu on Ham radio deluxe.

I have now changed my RemoteRig configuration to use only my Yaesu 857 radio instead that with the new firmware that can move the front too.
