Re: [Elecraft] Remote operation question
Hi Mitch, Yes, good idea! I am also going to call Elecraft and speak with Brandon. I tried that yesterday, but he had the day off. As of now, firmware in both K3's are the same, firmware in both RemoteRig units is the same. So, we will go from there. thanks, 73 de Jim - KE8G "Mitch Wolfson DJØQN" wrote: > Jim, > > I highly suggest that you post this issue on the RemoteRig forum at > http://www.remoterig.com/forum/index.php for the RemoteRig developers to > answer.

Re: [Elecraft] Remote operation question
Well, the unfortunate part is that the only description I got was the radio sounded like it has a defect, nothing more and the fellow was gone. If someone would like to setup a sked to have a listen, that would be great. It would have to be a CW sked, as I do not have a mic. To update everyone commenting, I have updated the K3 firmware at the control end, so both are now at the same level. The firmware on the RemoteRig units are identical, no changes had been made there. The coax for the remote station is all new 400Max series fromDXEngineering, which was thoroughly tested when installed two months ago.

Re: [Elecraft] Remote operation question
Jim, To be able to find the problem, you will need to add some details as to what the "defect" sounds like. There are many possibilities and we need more details. The new firmware should not necessarily cause a problem, but may if the difference between the two RRC's is significant. There is no reason not to update the control RRC and see if that solves the problem. I also recommend that you repost this on the RemoteRig forum http://www.remoterig.com/forum/index.php if the firmware update does not solve this to receive a response from the developers if needed. 73, Mitch DJ0QN Mitch Wolfson DJØQN / K7DX Neubiberger Str. 21, 85640 Putzbrunn Skype: mitchwo - Home:+49 89 32152700 - Mobile:+49 172 8374436 Echolink: 3001 - IRLP: 5378 On 05.08.2014 04:22, Jim - KE8G wrote: Hi All, I seem to be having a problem with my RemoteRig operation.
