[App_rpt-users] Remote Base setup

Okay--- Update....

I have some sort of success on an ACID Install and It appears to almost
work...

IF I connect to the node, it tells me 'invalid Frequency' then the node
number 'Connected'

IF I poll the freq, it comes back as correct and the radio displays the
proper freq of the init memory channel.  no sweat.

I can bump up down all around..

IF i change freqs, it complains about 'invalid frequency' and the display
doesn't change.  IF I bump up or down the bumped frequency shows up on the
radio, and if I bump the other direction it will be right on.

Modes don't switch
says it does, but doesn't.

Ideas?

Here is the rpt.conf from my remote node...

[582];  Ada IC-706 Remote Base

rxchannel=SimpleUSB/usb     ; Rx audio/signalling channel

functions = functions-remote
functions = functions-repeater
memory = memory

remote = ic706
ioport = /dev/ttyUSB0
civaddr = 88
authlevel=0

[functions-remote]
0=remote,1                              ; Retrieve Memory
1=remote,2                              ; Set freq.
2=remote,3                              ; Set tx PL tone
3=remote,4     ; Set rx PL tone
6=remote,6                               ; Set Mode 1=FM 2=USB 3=LSB 4=AM
40=remote,100                           ; Rx PL off
41=remote,101                           ; Rx PL on
42=remote,102                           ; Tx PL off
43=remote,103                           ; Tx PL on
44=remote,104                           ; Low Power
45=remote,105                           ; Medium Power
46=remote,106                           ; High Power
711=remote,107                          ; Bump -20
714=remote,108                          ; Bump -100
717=remote,109                          ; Bump -500
713=remote,110                          ; Bump +20
716=remote,111                          ; Bump +100
719=remote,112                          ; Bump +500
721=remote,113                          ; Scan - slow
724=remote,114                          ; Scan - quick
727=remote,115                          ; Scan - fast
723=remote,116                          ; Scan + slow
726=remote,117                          ; Scan + quick
729=remote,118                          ; Scan + fast
79=remote,119                           ; Tune
51=remote,5                             ; Long status query
52=remote,140 ; Short status query
67=remote,210 ; Send a *
69=remote,211 ; Send a #

[nodes]
581 = radio at 192.168.17.201/581,NONE
582 = radio at 127.0.0.1/582,NONE,y

[nodes](+)
#include nodes.include

[memory]
init = 14.250,100.0,u ; 14.250MHz upper sideband
00 = 146.460,100.0,sht
01 = 146.940,100.0,-l
02 = 14.250,100.0,u ; 14.250MHz upper sideband


It is short and sweet.. Works the same if I use the default from the Dupral
site.. works the same if I copy someone elses.   I stripped all the stuff
out of it that it seems not to care about to make it blatantly simple.

Thanks for the help!
