Hello, I've been struggling to find information about the remote base capability of app_rpt. I am positive that app_rpt is able to talk to the radio, but I can't seem to control the radio otherwise. When I connect to the remote base node (2214), I hear the message "invalid frequency". If the radio is in Memory mode, it will switch to VFO A, but the frequency and mode are not changed. I have not had much luck even learning the command syntax. I have read that a Remote base node will not respond to DTMF commands, so I have been issuing the DTMF commands to the connected node instead (rpt fun 2211 *717). Google found some information for me, but this function also doesn't work when issued from connected node 2211: Set freq. VFO MMMMM*KKK*O (Mhz digits, Khz digits, Offset) enter a freq like 443.675 + as *1443*675*1 (or 2 or 3) Of course, I realize that the 706 has limitations with it's CI-v command set. PTT and changing power levels, for example, cannot be done via CI-v. I've been using CI-v to auto-tune my Icom rigs for satellite work for years. I'd really like to get this working, and will post a how-to article on my web site once this is working. Many thanks for any info. 73 Kyle K0KN --- snippet from rpt.conf --- ; Remote Base authlevel=0 ; authlevel=0 Disables all access control ; authlevel=1 Enables access control, and waits for ; key up before prompting for the access code ; authlevel=2 Enables access control, and prompts for the ; access code at the time of connection ;functions=functions-remote remote=ic706 ; Icom 706 remote base ioport=/dev/ttyS0 ; serial port for CAT/CI-v data iospeed=19200 ; COM port speed dusbabek = yes ; wtf is this? serial port will not work without it memory=memory phone_functions=functions-remote ;mars = 0 ; set=1 for IC-706 w/MARS mods (optional) civaddr=72 ; address should be in decimal, not Hex as Icom uses.
