RJTT Twr/TCA - RJTT App/Dep - Tokyo Control ALL UP!
« on: March 26, 2014, 02:37:03 AM »
It appears my powered antenna splitter is bad so I have bypassed it for now.
I will be sending a replacement part to Tokyo in the next few days.

Only the RJTT Twr/TCA receiver is connected to the antenna now.

There is no antenna input to RJTT App/Dep and RJTT Tokyo Control at this time. They will be silent.


Status updates:

3/27/2014 - Replacement Powered Splitter sent to Tokyo Japan.
4/3/2014 - Powered Splitter arrived in Tokyo.
4/11/2014 - MCA208M Powered Splitter installed. ALL FEEDS WORKING!

I hate it when that happens...

I have a similar setup...two of my feeds are at my parents place.  My Mom has gotten very good at working the two scanner radios, adding frequencies, changing frequencies, telling the status of the Rasp Pi....  I call her up and tell her what to do and most of the time any issues get resolved over the phone.  Of course, those two feeds aren't thousands of miles away  :-)

Funny though, I would have expected that antenna splitter to be a little more robust than that...ah well, stuff happens...

Yes Ron it's hard to manage a remote feed but with some perseverance it can be done as in your example.  :-D

Turns out the MCA204M Splitter may have gone out? It's been replaced with an 8 port MCA208M and all is fine now.
