[App_rpt-users] Remote Base question

Corey....
I just went through this...
here is what I have learned...
The URI light will not blink until you connect to the Remote with another
node or iaxrpt. after that, it appears to stay blinking, however, I believe
it shoud go out again when you disconnect? Mine doesn't..
You need to use the *4xxx controlling the far node routine to manipulate
the remote from a connect node. OR you can use IAXRPT to test.
I sometimes have to stop and restart asterisk to correct an issue where the
remote stops responding to anything. I think it has something to do with
the URI not disconnecting and the light stopping when you disconnect.
Only one node at a time can connect with the Remote Base. the other
attempts will fail.
The Icom 706 needs Memories 50-99 entered and saved with the RPT TONE set..
Starting at 67.0 at Memory 50 and going up each tone till you reach the
last tone and memory 99. I used 146.520 simplex in every memory and just
changed the tone incrementing 1 up till I hit 99 and the end of the
available tones IF you don't do this, you will get "invalid frequency"
everytime.
The RBI remote base works but I had to disconnect pin 4 it appears in my
case anyways, the logic level is backwards? As soon as I removed the reset
pin 4, it took right off. I am going to have to work on this because the
RBI operates with fewer mishaps when its connected.
The Kenwood TMD-700a works the best for me so far.
Corey, I run my nodes in a private invironment so I have removed most of
the band edge and authlevel safegards that maybe should be included, but I
wanted to get it to work before I added that back in. I am using a USB
Serial interface or a USB Icom interface in the case of the 706.
here are my working examples. I hope it at least gets you started. Your
mileage may vary, CAUTION! Beverage may be HOT! (insert favorite
disclaimer here..)
