<DIV>I think my friend Mark saw that post the CIV pl and programming issues but
at this point we can’t get a single command other then the first one sent when
you connect into HyperTerminal. So as someone mentioned before it’s because of
the updated rpt.c file a year or so ago that broke interface. I think...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We’re actually testing controlling the rig via Hamsoft rig control software
and try to use macros to command the software. But it wont compile so were going
to try it on CentOS 6, if it works I will then upgrade the node and go from
there making a long list of macro commands. Anyone see any unforeseen issues
with this other angle?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We were thinking this could be a almost be better solution (if it will
play) with more options and commands available. If it will work it could save a
lot of time in the code... I don’t see myself in there at all so on with plan B
for now. </DIV>

<DIV>Ross,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I think the problem occurs because, according to the source code, the
program tries to automaticly set the mode of the rig according to the freq
requested. Somewhere in there, there is an error.</DIV>
<DIV>I spent a lot of time about a year ago to determine that but did not peruse
it because I was not using a MKii, just a original 706 and it will not accept
some the additional commands.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It seems silly to set all the mode & etc info automatically when doing
so makes the command set limited to only a 706mkii and if setting just the freq
was just setting the freq, and setting the mode was just setting the mode, it
would work with a wide range of icom radios with civ interface.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am not going to buy a more expensive radio for my remote as it will most
likely be destroyed by lightning within a year. But it would be nice it it was
more flexible. Perhaps if you get somewhere on this it will be corrected.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>When I have time again, I may attempt to re-write the source code myself
but the remote base stuff is a bit "messy" in there.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Just a little imput and I could be wrong in your instance but that what I
think I found some time ago.</DIV>

<DIV>Hello,</DIV>
<DIV>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. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We have made good progress, CIV addresses are correct after some
google-ing. Turns out the <A title=Home href="http://ohnosec.org/drupal/"
target=_blank><FONT face="Times New Roman">Asterisk/app_rpt</FONT></A>
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. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: ; COLOR: ; TEXT-DECORATION: ; DISPLAY: inline">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 <A title=Home
href="http://ohnosec.org/drupal/" target=_blank><FONT
face="Times New Roman">Asterisk/app_rpt</FONT></A> site? </DIV></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV
style="FONT-FAMILY: ; COLOR: ; TEXT-DECORATION: ; DISPLAY: inline"> </DIV></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: ; COLOR: ; TEXT-DECORATION: ; DISPLAY: inline">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</DIV></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>Hello everyone,
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In the documentation it shows adding? This line amongest others to the
rpt.conf file.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>719=remote,112
; Bump +500<BR></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>so does that mean dial 719 or *719 or?</DIV>
<DIV>Assuming no authentication, and again if you add authentication what does
the command look like?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Is it *4node then a command like 719? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Node is configured as a remote base, shows up with R in the node status
page... </DIV>
<DIV>Everything should be right there..</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Also for the rpt.conf do I need all of this or am I missing
something?</DIV>
