Neal, I think you have a typo below.. Should it not be *4XXXXXX? That is what I have to do to get the remote command back.. Once I have control, I tried *3xxxxx to connect a node , or even *81 to force time announce, but neither work. So I presume there is a permissions issue or something else I am doing wrong?

First you need to be connected to the node that you want to control. Then dial *xxxxxx (the node you want to control). You will then hear a very overdriven audio file that says remote command. From that point on you are controlling that node you can (connect,disconnect, etc). To exit remote comand mode hit the # sign. Hope this helps Neal NG8Y Sent from my iPhone On Jul 27, 2011, at 8:52 PM, "Lu Vencl" <vencl@att.net> wrote: Ok, I know this is a newbie question, but I searched everywhere I know and I can’t find an example nor figure this out.. I need to understand the proper command structure or procedure of *4 remote command. Example, I want to issue a command to one of my nodes from another node. How do I do this? I tried the following example from my node 27870 KA4EPS-R-Margate*CLI> rpt fun 27870 *427869*81# I thought that this command would allow me to announce the time on node 27869 while entering this on the 27870 node.. Is this not possible? Another example, let’s say I want 27869 to connect to 27875 would I want to dial over the air on (node 27870) *427869*327875# ? Thanks again for your help.. I am just not getting anywhere with it.
