Works fine. I haven’t used this for a couple of years but when I did it
works fine. The 857 and 957 look identical as far as control goes.
I also modified the source for app_rpt.c to allow more than just ham band
operation, but I can’t find the source that I modified. But it worked fine was
able to tune PL tones, etc. I wanted to put it back on but lots of other things
got in the way. But it indeed works very nicely. Jim did need to modify some
control timing issues that are common with 857 and 897’s, but that is fixed and
configurable.

Subject: [App_rpt-users] Remote base
Good
afternoon Allstars!
Has anyone tried
to get a Yaesu FT-857D
working as a remote
base? I am interested in using it to change frequency bands, modes,
etc.
Thanks,
