it sounds like you are trying to send control dtmf via the 6 pin interface. this is only half the trick. to control the radio use an optional rs232 to usb cable plugged into another usb port.

I use a python script or bash script or hamlib to send commands to this control port

Subject: [App_rpt-users] Remote Base telemetry

I am trying to make a Kenwood TM-D710 work through the extensions.conf phone patch commands to execute a script to command hamlib/rigctl for control of the radio.

I want to have the audio feedback from the commands to play on the linked allstar node and not transmitted across the remote base radio. The only commands I have been using is rpt/localplay and Playback for the audio feedback. Is there another command which would send the audio to the connected node and not out to the RF side?

I also have read there is a tmd700 module that works with the native remotebase commands. Where would I look to modify commands to adapt it for the tmd710, which appears to have more functionality than I can using hamlib/rigctl.

For information I am running a current DIAL RC1 image on a raspberry 3.

Thanks,

Thomas
