Yes – once you hear the announcement, it should work. If it is working, the machine you are talking to will stay continuously keyed up. If the machine you are trying to command is not in the right command state (user functions disabled, for example) that would likely block you from executing anything.

Once you have control everything should work. Neal Sent from my iPhone On Jul 27, 2011, at 9:15 PM, "Lu Vencl" <vencl@att.net> wrote: 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.

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.
