LED's OK, but relays not switching mic, phones
|
I've been using the so2r box for years, but suddenly this afternoon the mic and phones relays are not switching their lines.? The LED's look like it's behaving normally, but I don't hear any relays clicking and the mic/phones are always connected to rig 1.? Any quick ideas before the SSB Sprint?? Thanks.

Check that an update didn’t remove your comports.? Make sure you’ve only loaded one copy of program.? Is Mic Relays box checked?

The microphone has a relay.? The headphone switching is electronic so you won't hear any relays when it switches. The easiest thing to try is to reset the EEPROM in the SO2R Box.? Run the SO2R Box Utility.? Click Connect (lower left) and then Reset (lower right).? This will set everything to the default values so you may need to change?the settings to match your station. ???

Thank you Dennis W1VE and Paul K1XM for your replies.? Resetting the EEPROM did the trick.? Before resetting, MAP 1 and MAP 2 were both showing "1."? After resetting, MAP2 was changed to "2," and everything started working normally.
I'm powering the SO2R box from a big Astron supply that powers the whole station.? I try to remember to switch off the SO2R box before powering down the Astron, but sometimes I forget, and the DC does a slow fade. Maybe that's how the MAP2 setting got changed.? Perhaps I should power the SO2R box from a dedicated wall wart connected to firm power instead. Thanks again for your help! Dave Hachadorian, K6LL Yuma, AZ? |

If MAP1 and MAP2 are both mapped to radio 1 then the relays and audio would not switch and you would always hear radio 1.? I don't know how it got that way. There have been a few reports over the years about problems that have been traced to the EEPROM becoming corrupt but there has not been enough information that I could track down a problem. ???
