I would be interested in this as well, so please keep me in the loop. I haven't done this yet but I am very interested.

Hello,

I'm trying to get my Icom 706Mk2g to work as a remote base.. I'm not having any luck whatsoever.. I know that my hardware works 100%, but Asterisk cannot seem to talk to my radio.

FWIW, I'm running SimpleUSB. I'm not sure if that makes any difference or not.

I read somewhere that app_rpt uses decimal instead of hex (as Icom does) for the Ci-v address. So instead of civaddr=58 (58 is the default for a 706Mk2g) I was told to try civaddr=88.

Any suggestions?

Does anyone have a 706 working as a remote base that would be willing to post a snippet from their rpt.conf for me?

Thanks. 73

I think it may be beneficial to mention a remote base does not act like a typical node. The USB light does not blink until someone is connected in simpleusb, or at least in my experience. Hope that helps. Monty On Thu, Feb 16, 2012 at 11:16 AM, K&R Yoksh <yokshs@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi David,

Yes, I've used it as the basis for my setup.

Hi Robert, Thanks for the info. There were a couple of items in your list that I didn't have. I'll try them tonight and see if it helps..

When I used to mess with my 706mkIIg with Ham Radio Deluxe, the serial/CIV level converter I used needed to have one of the handshake leads forced on to power the interface. I want to say DTR, but not sure. If that's the case I also remember seeing a way to set a ttyS to do that. But again, memory fails me as to the command (setserial ?).

My interface uses an external power source, so I'm positive it's not an interface power issue. I'll be sure and post a 100% working config once I've got it going. Thanks. 73 Kyle K0KN ----- Original Message ----- Sent: Thursday, February 16, 2012 8:59 AM Subject: Re: [App_rpt-users] Icom 706 Remote Base While I'm not using an 706, but a Syntor X with an XCAT here's the related stuff in my rpt.conf (gleaned mostly from an archived Tom Sawyer post that I found in a Google search) Yes, the CIV address is in decimal.
