[Premium-Rx] FW: Re: Racal RA3791 remote address

[VK3XYZ]

Hi John,

It's in the manuals but not consolidated into one place. The Interface
manual discusses addresses on page 2-3 at the bottom.

Trib port addresses are covered by page 2-12.

 

As far as I can tell, in master mode the receiver only transfers front panel
settings to another receiver (for diversity applications), for user remote
control use the trib or aux mode/port.

 

To change the address for Master, the first thing to do is select more than
zero address bytes in the menus, press "menu" 6(?) times to get to REMOTE
PORT, select MASTER, then at "Address bytes" select other than zero, ie one
or two. Return to front panel control , then press the Addr key, tThen the
number(s) for the address then ENTER. Unless there is something to talk to
you'll get a link failed display.

 

To return to normal front panel operation press Addr then RCL. (page 4-11)

 

Given page 2-3, it's likely that the master port address is applied to all 3
ports. So I'd try setting up the master port address then switching
operation back to trib or aux and then see if the scpi addresses work. I've
never tried to remote control them or connect them together for
master/slave, so this is only my expectation of how it would work.

 

Hope that helps.

 

All the best for xmas and the new year
