PTT with TS2000 and dynamic mic not working...

[OE3ICU]

Hello,

I use RRC-1258MkII to remote control my TS-2000 with the standard Kenwood Dynamic microphone.
If I press the microphone PTT, nothing happens and the transceiver doesn't TX.

All other features are working perfect - sound from the speaker, remote control via COM2. I don't use any RC-2000 display. I bypassed COM2 with my PC. Via COM2 I control the radio via the Kenwood ARCP-2000 software.

How I did the cabling:

CONTROL SITE:
For the Control unit I use the microbit K14a adapter cable (red color) wich is connected with die RJ45 AUX/MIC and the microphone.
On the control unit I set the jumper as described in manual (page 169):

JMP-1 (dc to mic) = not in place
JMP-2 (8/9V) = not in place
JMP-3 (RTS-CTS) = in place (wich doesn't matter)

RADIO site:
On the Radio site I use the K15a cable (red color) to connect the TS2000 microphone jack with the RRC-Radio AUX/MIC jack.

The JMP-3 (RTS-CTS) on Radio site is in place.

Can anybody help please to solve this issue? I want to TX if I press the PTT ;-)

Thank you very much,

73!

Hi

If the audio from the speaker connected to the Control-RRC disapears when you press the PTT the strapping in the Control-RRC is OK.

There is no settings concerning this, It's only the red straps which is involved, check the placement of them and check them with an ohm meter.
