Stephen,

I gave up on using remote base. I am currently using hamlib to control my Icom IC-7000 and it works great!

Here is a link. http://sourceforge.net/p/hamlib/wiki/Hamlib/

Here is a snippet from David KB4FXC that helped me set it up. Thanks again David!

 The most simplistic way to utilize hamlib is via simple shell-script calls

Hi all, 

   Been away from the project for quite some time and have recently got the itch to jump back in and start playing with things again. 

I'm really interested in setting up a remote base. I have an FT-817, and I'm mildly certain that CAT commands may be the same as the (supported) FT-897. 

Anyone set one of these up and care to comment? Lots of reading ahead of me it seems, so much has been added from the looks of it :)
