<DIV>Thanks, everyone. Didn’t want to get there and discover it wasn’t possible.
As I was assuming, as long as the right stuff is kept inside the proper stanzas
in rpt.conf and simpleusb.conf (or usbradio) I’m ok. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As for serial ports, etc, I make it a habit to have a real serial port and
parallel port on the box. Getting somewhat difficult to find, but still
possible. Heck even the 12 core monster I have at my desk has both real ports.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I had the 857 connected a few years back, when it was discovered the timing
was wrong and the wait delays were installed by Jim. Hazy memory now but any
command that had two steps didn’t work. But anything that was a single command
worked fine. </DIV>

<DIV class=moz-cite-prefix>george<BR><BR>another important point when you setup

<DIV>Yes that will work. You might also need to define the parallel port
address in the node stanza for each node.</DIV>
<DIV>And if you think you might use a doug hall rbi-1, start using pins above
pp3 (pin 4) then you will not have to redefine the pins when you do
that.</DIV>

<DIV>Hey guys, before I start putting this together I have a question. I’m
putting two nodes on one PC. One node is the usual repeater. The other is a
FT897 type remote base. I really like using the parport for cos/keying. And
I want to use the same PC’s port for both radios. As long as I keep the
ppx=?? stuff within a particular radios node stanza will it work? Or if I
have a ptt specified for one radio do I not have the ability to have another
ppx=ppp under the “other node” even if (obviously) different pins for each.
Like this:</DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So before I go build this up I’m curious about this point. If it won’t
fly I’ll add another PC for remote base controller. I have a few D945GCLF
boards. I’d move the remote base to one using Limey</DIV>
