I managed to get my remote working. sort of... All functions work, its a ft-897, its running ACID. But it had one very odd issue. Three nodes at home, 28599 (900 MSF), 2360 (440 simplex node (original repeater failed) and node 2428, the remote base. It runs on ACID, 2360 is Limey, 28599 a one year old DIAL on a Pi. I cannot connect 28599 to 2428, it tells me there is a conflict I have all three with their rpt.conf have node entries for each other. That issue seems unrelated. I can connect node 2360 to 2428. I hear audio from the remote just fine. But when I talk into 2360 from my portable no audio comes out the FOB on the 2428 ACID PC. If I do radio-tune menu on 2428 and have a tone sent out to the remote that works. If I connect 28599 to 2360 and use a talky to transmit to 28599 that audio comes out 2428 to the ft-897. The docs on remote base are real thin. I had this all figured out in 2010 but can't find any notes on it after two moves. Using USBRADIO on the remote right now. Anybody have any suggestions?
