<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Well the remote base is up and running.<br><br></div>One thing that got me and it shouldn't have was this was the first time I used a FOB that had the blinking light on it. It had the blob over the chip so I saved it for ACID use and the PP outputs and inputs. I kept trying to troubleshoot why the light would stop blinking when I added in remote=rbi. I shouldn't have worried about it as once I connected to it from another node, the light started blinking and away I went.

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