Re: [Elecraft] Remote Rig logging

[Mike Murray]

Many thanks to all who responded to my plea for help - what a great list!

After several failed attempts at resolving the problem, I noticed that my
Windows COM ports weren't enumerated  with "RRC1258...) like several had
suggested.  The Microbit install with drivers had proceeded without issues,
so I hadn't given that part of the process any further thought.  BIG
mistake on my part!  It turned out that the driver part of the installation
had failed without any notification and the drivers weren't actually
installed.

I located the driver installation file on the hard drive and manually
updated each of the four Windoze COM ports with the RemoteRig driver for
it.  SUCCESS!!! Everything now seems to be communicating correctly and
logging software interfaces correctly thru the control RemoteRig back to
the radio.

A frustrating process to say the least, but it all now works smoothly.
Final test will be later this fall from a truly remote location.  Thanks
again to all who responded!

Re: [Elecraft] Remote Rig logging

Mike,

I use both LOGic9 and N1MM+ successfully via the USB connection to the K3/0 
mini, using USB at the PC end.  Have used it with both K3 and K3S at the remote 
site, and K3/0 and K3/0 mini at the control site. Make sure you have the latest 
firmware in the RRC at the control end.

When you hook up the USB on the RRC to your PC, you should hear the "BeeBoop" 
sound and then in windows device manager under the "Ports (COM & LPT) you 
should see something like:

RRC1258 COM0 (COM3)
RRC1258 COM1 (COM4)
RRC1258 COM2 (COM6)
RRC1258 COMExtra (COM5)

These should appear even if the rig is not connected or turned on, but there 
must be power to the K3/0 mini.

The left COM# on each line is the port referred to in the RRC documentation, he 
right one is the way windows has numbered it on your PC.

In my setup, COM4 is the K3 at 9600N1, and COM5 is the Winkeyer at 1200N2.

Subject: [Elecraft] Remote Rig logging

I'm in the process of setting up my K3/0 mini to access my remote K3 using 
Remote Rig 1258 MkII boxes.  Everything is working correctly on my LAN and also 
when using a Verizon connection for the control and my LAN for the remote.  My 
only problem is figuring out how to use a PC logging program on the control 
side of things.

According to instructions in the RemoteRig manual: "If you want to connect a 
logging or PC-control software to the system you can connect it to the 
Control-RRC COM1 via RS-232 or USB and configure both RRC:s COM1 to “Mode-7, 
CAT to COM2 (local)”.  I've tried that using an RS-232 to USB cable 
without success.

Has anyone done this successfully and what might I be missing???
