    i have never seen a GX-55 with a old 2.5 mag box before lol, Topcon did release a 3.5p5 firmware from 2019 for these older boxes. but at this point these older GPS pcb's already have crazy hours and high oscillator offsets already, and they wont store and hold the Network IP password settings anymore either causing no 3dmc communication. and some MC-R3's are doing the same too.

    Hey mate, stumbled across your channel and love the content. Just a quick question regarding the modem installs. How do you find the cradle points last? And are they a good alternative to an sl100?

    • @themachinecontroltroublesh4621
      @themachinecontroltroublesh4621 2 роки тому

      SL100's are simply just an older style modem. If you are using your modem for GPS/GNNS corrections, it's best to have a newer model.

    Hello! Thanks for videos! Wanted to add some advice. I think, it's better to copy the 3d-mc installation .cab file to the hard disk directory. In that case, you won't be copying this file to the stick again and again. And it protects you from problems with equipment if stick reveals some malfunctions while software installing.

    • @themachinecontroltroublesh4621
      @themachinecontroltroublesh4621 2 роки тому

      Thanks for your advice. Actually, the 3DMC software you see me installing on my videos is always an upgrade new version over an outdated 3DMC version. To save any upgraded version to hard disk would be unnecessary because it won't be loaded again. Instead, newer versions of 3DMC software will continually be uploaded, and so on as new versions appear. But, I understand what you mean about flashdrive corruption in the event of constant use. Fortunately, I have not encountered such problematic flashdrives. Cheers.

  • @joebradley3
    @joebradley3 2 роки тому

    Also, you didn’t actually show the issue displayed in 3DMC with the D61pxi that showed radio issues. And it’s weird because it looked like you were trying to load GNSS firmware not radio firmware. I have never had a radio issue that was caused by radio firmware or GNSS FW. So in the end what did you load on your laptop? Interested to hear how you got that baby going?

    • @themachinecontroltroublesh4621
      @themachinecontroltroublesh4621 2 роки тому

      This D61 had an older UHF-1 radio board in the MCR3 which needed updating in order to connect properly with UHF-2 Base. The update opened up the channel/Frequency required for connection. I had previously copied the radio information from the JD700, and simply changed the Komatsu D61 and achieved connection. Hope this helped. Sometimes I zip through things and forget to video, but I'll try and make a better effort at showing all in future. Thanks for watching.

    I'm glad you knew to reassign the IP addresses to the GPS cards, I'll remember that. I would have been scratching my head at the lack of satellite reception after the cards were swapped and voltage was restored.

    • @themachinecontroltroublesh4621
      @themachinecontroltroublesh4621 2 роки тому

      For some reason both cards were assigned main, which we suspect may have been an issue for earlier troubles. Not sure why aux card was still connected. I would have removed it. But glad it was there to use. Saved them big $$$.
