[App_rpt-users] FYI: Remote base ic706 MKII/G works!

[Mark Johnston]

I discovered why the remote base nodes won't work if someone copies/pastes
from the guide... Notice how it's backwards... when setting up my remote
base and helping Ross KC7RJK set up his remote base, I noticed this typo.

This page: http://ohnosec.org/drupal/node/44
has functions = remote-functions
and next page http://ohnosec.org/drupal/node/45
has [functions-remote]

*Also found a useful command to add to the list of standard options.*

6=remote,6                             ; Set Mode 1=FM 2=USB 3=LSB 4=AM

*Memory channels appear to have to be numbered from*
*10-99 to work correctly, Direct frequency entry works fine etc..*

To enter 146.52 Simplex
Connect to the node *3(node#) as normal
then *4(node#) as normal (#) to exit command mode
*1146*520*2
for HF 7.268.500 do
*17*2685*2

[functions-remote]

7500=remote,109                    ; Bump ­- 500
721=remote,110                      ; Bump +20
7101=remote,111                    ; Bump +100
7501=remote,112                    ; Bump +500
731=remote,113                         ; Scan ­ slow
732=remote,114                         ; Scan ­ quick
733=remote,115                         ; Scan ­ fast
736=remote,116                         ; Scan + slow
737=remote,117                         ; Scan + quick
738=remote,118                         ; Scan + fast
799=remote,119                         ; Tune (brief AM transmission for
automatic ant...)

*I changed the first digits (DTMF) for my own purposes so this chart is not
100% standard... While not every function works, it does great!*

*Some of the lines for memories may not be necessary or maybe for some
radios*

Also may need to remove the std. command functions for that node

D=autopatchdn                           ; Autopatch down

*At least they are not needed, and I see not use for the clutter on a
remote base.*

;Auth level
authlevel = 0 ;may be used to authenticate users at level 1 or 2...
civaddr = 56   ;decimal vs the radios' hex address 38h

*Just one table for those who can't do it in their head:*

Demo:

*This works on an IC706MK-II G & IC706MK-II should be the same for other
similar radios, these are the only two we are currently using.*

*Thanks to everyone's help, hope this does help someone as well...*
*Enjoy the remote base... ops. Hopefully someone can update the guide on
the site etc...*
