[Elecraft] Remote Rig logging

[John Langdon]

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&remote)”.  I've tried that using an RS-232 to USB cable without success.

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