K3/0 TO K3 NOT WORKING?

Having Trouble with my K3/0 Remote Station.

For the last week 9/18 thru 19/23 I turn on the supply and then the K3/0 and
the remote station comes up and plays as it should. Later in the day when I
shut it down during the day it will not come back up and all I get is a
bunch of beeps.

This happens each morning. On Friday the 22nd I turned it on at 5 AM and 5
off at 5 PM.
When I tried to recycle the K3/0 to turn on the remote it would not
initialize and would just beep at me.

This is all be done in my shack at home but via the internet thru a router.
The router can see both of the RRC-1258 boxes and IP addresses which are
good with the software, Microbit Software manager.

I’m at a loss and can’t figure out what is causing it not to work when it
works well in the morning. I can shut it down and back up in the morning but
after an hour and more it will not start up again. Just beeps. Could it a
cable?

I had Friend stop over with his K3/0 mini head and that did not work either.
I changed the K3 remote radio with another K3 radio and that did not solve
the problem.

Any Ideas would be a big help.

Wayne,

That sounds like a "flaky" internet connection may be your problem.
Talk to your ISP support people - it may take 2nd or 3rd level techs to
get to the bottom of it.

Re: K3/0 TO K3 NOT WORKING?

In reply to this post by Waynetheking

When you power your K3/0 down, does the remote K3 turn all the way off
[i.e. go totally dark]?

Who is beeping -- K3/0 or RRC? Control-end or remote-end?

Does it do this *every* time [i.e. totally repeatable]?

Is your control path *really* "through the Internet ... IAW does your
remote-end RRC have an IP address outside the sub-net the control-end
RRC is on? ... or are they both DHCP-assigned by your router?

The control-end RRC will beep at you [out the SP jack to whatever is
plugged into it] if the remote-end RRC/K3 is already on. It's a busy
signal to another user.
