[App_rpt-users] Remote Base question

Sam and Corey,
I did just want to point out that the one node connect is only valid if
you use the
node=remote base option.
29261 = radio at 127.0.0.1/29261,NONE,y ;y=remote base
Without the "Y" many nodes can connect to the remote base node.
What I did was put the control in a main node and use only use the audio
paths for the remote base node then I do not have to connect to it in
control mode to control it.
This way I don't have to connect to it at all to control it.
May not be suitable for everyone's config though.
And Sam may be right about the reset line, I have never connected it
myself.
Something to try.
But I doubt it has any bearing on a FOB issue.
I have no issues with DH-RBI
