[App_rpt-users] Remote Base commands/operation

Hello,
I am also having the same trouble as Mark, we’ve been working together on this. It has become very frustration trying to remote base the ic706.
We have made good progress, CIV addresses are correct after some google-ing. Turns out the Asterisk/app_rpt how-to’s are not very detailed or even correct. The CIV addr for the ic706MKii is 4e hex, the rpt.conf file needs this in decimal where the how-to does not state this fact and says to enter 88, then it says enter 98 somewhere else on the page. While in reality 4e hex = 78 dec. so that’s what was entered in rpt.conf file and we have “some” communication with the radio. When you connect to the remote base node we still hear the “invalid frequency” announcement but the radio will switch from VFO to MEM mode and vise versa depending on what mode its in but that’s all we can get it to do.
So has this system EVER worked? All of the google-ing has led me to find 0 working ic706 remote bases, and one other who's in the same exact place as us K0KN. If not why is it advertised on the Asterisk/app_rpt site?
I KNOW the node is talking to the radio watching the CIV via a null modem cable in HyperTerminal, when you connect to the node where it switches from or to VFO mode. I can see that command in HyperTerminal but I can’t get any other commands out of the node like the remote-function-stanza commands. What are we doing wrong? How are we supposed to enter the commands? Or better yet, how do you send the remote-function-stanza commands out to the radio? Any help or pointers would be much appreciated. Thanks for reading 73

Hello everyone,
Can anyone explain in better detail how the remote base operates, as far as users are concerned. i.e. What command do you enter to mover the frequency +500
In the documentation it shows adding? This line amongest others to the rpt.conf file.
719=remote,112 ; Bump +500
so does that mean dial 719 or *719 or?
Assuming no authentication, and again if you add authentication what does the command look like?
Is it *4node then a command like 719?
Node is configured as a remote base, shows up with R in the node status page...
Everything should be right there..
Also for the rpt.conf do I need all of this or am I missing something?
; Serial port for control
ioport = /dev/ttyS0

accountcode=RADIO
hangtime=100
althangtime=100
totime=170000
idtime=540000

etc...
Are any of the std lines needed? or just the ones at top?
Do I need to have all of these or are they built in?

; Another entry, 9148351=remote,99,WA6ZFT,E would grant access to

; When the remote base is disconnected from the originating node, the
; user will be logged out. The LICENSETAG parameter can be optionally specified
; to enforce TX band limits.

The second link a bit less clear to me...
If anyone has an idea, or knows how this is supposed to work, I would appreciate it. Maybe some real world rpt.conf file you could send me, or other files I need to setup as well.
A command example howto...
Thanks,
Mark KC7DMF
