RemoteRig with Kenwood TS2000

Post by VK4UH »

Hi All

I would like to converse with anyone who has successfully interfaced a Standard Kenwood TS-2000 (one without a detachable front panel) with the Microbit REMOTERIG RRC-1258 Mk11 interface?

My intention is to establish remote access for others to my 6m station for Chirp-Radar/propagation use.

The on-line manual for the interfaces is "not great" in many areas and leaves a number of "guessing holes" that I need to cover.

I have only bought ONE of the RRC-1258 interfaces as I understood that any internet-connected computer can control my station via Ham Radio Deluxe software.

I would appreciate advice on a number of practical issues

Regards

I use RemoteRig quite successfully with several Icom IC-706MkIIG's. However, this uses 2 RRC-1258 interfaces to connect head to body via the interwebs.
The way I read what you're doing, you'll need to add a RRC-Micro PC-Client to the equation. This will enable HRD to control the TS-2000 as below:

Thanks Rick

Has anyone had HRD interfacing with any remote station WITHOUT this electronic interface? ie driving the remote station from the computer screen only without an actual radio head in place.
