Using USB to Ethernet Adapter with RF2K-S amp
Posted: Sun Apr 02, 2023 9:13 pm
As part of experimentation, I have migrated from using Ethernet (and TCI) between my radio and an RF2K-S amp to USB for CAT control.
Now, I would like to continue having my RF2K-S amp communicating with the radio in a way that I could still use VNC (the amp has a VNC server) as I did before.
Does anyone have experience with connecting this amp to Thetis using a USB to Ethernet Adapter? The amp has both a USB port and a LAN port and I am thinking that I could plug the USB to Ethernet Adapter into one of the available USB ports (it has 4 USB3.2 and 4 USB2.0 ports), then run an Ethernet cable from the amp's LAN port to the Ethernet end of the Adapter on the PC.
I could use the WiFi radio in the amp and still access VNC from my PC, being able to see the control panel of the amp on the PC which is really convenient and it works well. However, with WiFi, the amp kicked out and caused "Wrong Frequency" errors which I no longer observed, even once, after I dropped WiFi and went with cabled Ethernet.
Would appreciate hearing from any owners of RF2K-S amps.
