[App_rpt-users] first node and newbie help

So my dad and i are trying to get a mini itx setup for the 5th wheel so he can use it when he travels. We set up the information on allstarlink's web site, installed acid, got the download and config file done, connected the uri ( green light is flashing ), followed the schematic for connection frs/grms so we could use a spare ft-60 ( since he is just going from his pickup to the 5th wheel ) booted up the machine and are unable to get any return commands. the node shows to be active, 28134. we can communicate from one radio to another, but nothing is returned. even when we request time or system info. any help advice or trick would be greatly appreciated -- Thanks & 73, Denver Little KF5EFG
