Are you using a 706 or a 706Mii ?

The standard 706 will not function very well if at all without error because the code takes full advantage of the command set in the mark2 version that does not exist in the original 706.

Okay--- Update....

I have some sort of success on an ACID Install and It appears to almost work...

IF I connect to the node, it tells me 'invalid Frequency' then the node number 'Connected'

IF I poll the freq, it comes back as correct and the radio displays the proper freq of the init memory channel.  no sweat.

I can bump up down all around.. 

IF i change freqs, it complains about 'invalid frequency' and the display doesn't change.  IF I bump up or down the bumped frequency shows up on the radio, and if I bump the other direction it will be right on.

Modes don't switch
says it does, but doesn't.

Ideas?

Here is the rpt.conf from my remote node...  

[582];  Ada IC-706 Remote Base

rxchannel=SimpleUSB/usb     ; Rx audio/signalling channel

functions = functions-remote
functions = functions-repeater
memory = memory

67=remote,210 ; Send a *
69=remote,211 ; Send a #

#include nodes.include

[memory]
init = 14.250,100.0,u ; 14.250MHz upper sideband
00 = 146.460,100.0,sht
01 = 146.940,100.0,-l
02 = 14.250,100.0,u ; 14.250MHz upper sideband


It is short and sweet.. Works the same if I use the default from the Dupral site.. works the same if I copy someone elses.   I stripped all the stuff out of it that it seems not to care about to make it blatantly simple.

Thanks for the help!

As far as the BBB, you may not be defining the serial com correctly, but I don't know that from what you have provided for info.

Could you send your entire < [xxxnodeconfig] from rpt.conf > from your acid install to me to understand what is or is not happening.

It's hard to say a thing without more info. Probably a type error and you need other set of eyes.
Also, is it defined as a stand alone RB node
(ie 29261 = radio@127.0.0.1/29261,NONE,y ; ,y =remote base)

Hello all...

I have been working on an agile remote base using an Icom 706.  I have seen a lot of posts and read a lot of ideas on using this radio.

I first attemped using this under the Beagle Bone but I didn't have any luck.  SO I switched to an ACID install that was previously working as a Repeater Node.

I first added the remote stuff back to the rpt.conf - and the symptom returned.

The only working config has the line 'remote = ic706' commented out.

Anyone have any ideas on why the USB interface won't start, or the node would die just because the remote statement was added?

I could use some pointers?
