I am haveing trouble setting up a remote base using a TM-271A. I have the folloing settings in my rpt.conf

[2555] ; Node id of Remote Base
rxchannel = Radio/usb1 ; Rx audio/signalling channel
functions = functions-remote
phone_functions=functions-remote
remote=tm271
ioport = /dev/ttyS0 ; Specify port for serial port (optional)
memory = memory ; Section to hold memory entries (optional)
authlevel = 0 ; Anyone can use it
duplex=0
statpost_program=/usr/bin/wget,-q,--output-document=/dev/null ; Program and options to send stats
statpost_url=http://stats.allstarlink.org/uhandler.php ; URL for status updates

When I connect I get serial errors, am I missing something?

I have just tried with a belkin USB serial dongle and get the exact same errors. I can see data going out on the TX light but no rx light ever flashes. It's like the radio is not talking to the system. As a test I tried the Kenwood RCP software with the same USB dongle and it works file.

Am I supposed to set the baud rate somewhere?

Thanks & 73,
Scott KB2EAR

The baud rate is fixed in the app_rpt s/w.

The problem is very likely to be in the interface. What are you using
for an interface? Note the interface is not the usb to serial converter,
and it is not the pre-made up Kenwood serial cable either. It is usually
a homebrew circuit which merges the output from the sound fob and the
serial port together, oh, and it requires power from the modified FOB as
well.

Please refer to the interface circuit here:

Isn't that circuit only required because the TM-G707 uses the same connector for programming as for the audio and COR?

Thanks,

No, in the case of the tm-271 the interface IS the standard serial one
that connects thru the mic cable.

The baud rate is fixed in the app_rpt s/w.

The problem is very likely to be in the interface. What are you using
for an interface? Note the interface is not the usb to serial converter,
and it is not the pre-made up Kenwood serial cable either. It is usually
a homebrew circuit which merges the output from the sound fob and the
serial port together, oh, and it requires power from the modified FOB as
well.

Please refer to the interface circuit here:

Oops. I screwed up!
I don't know how I got stuck on TMG-707 vs TM-271.

The TM-271 has a dedicated serial port so please disregard my confusing

Anyway, Does anyone out there have a working config for the tm271 that they would be willing to share? I can provide SSH access for debugging. at this point I'm stuck.

I have now tried this on 3 different machines, every one of them fails the same way. Does anyone actually have a Kenwood TM-271a working with version 0.203 9/12/2009 of app_rpt.c?

It was suggested that I capture the output of the computer trying to talk to the TM-271a. So this is what I get:

VF 0146520000,0,0,0,0,0,0,12,00,000,00600000,0,0

I'm sure that there is something missing. I have tried connecting the PC running the MCP program and It is sending some sort of unprintable character to get the radio in to serial programming mode. But it stops there.

Anyone have any suggestions for a protocol analyzer (Free/Cheap)?

Any ideas out there at all?

Thanks & 73,
Scott KB2EAR

I have now tried this on 3 different machines, every one of them fails the

0.203 9/12/2009 of app_rpt.c?

What version of app_rpt.c are you running?

I'm no the expert on the TM-271 code or its protocol, but after a brief
look, it seems to me like the code is attempting send a VF command
(which it should do) and is never receiving an acknowledge response from
the radio! This explains the 5 VF attempts seen in the capture as the
Kenwood retry count is set to 5 in the code. You should be able to
confirm this by going in to the Asterisk CLI and sending the CLI command:

rpt debug level 5

Then connect to the remote base and capture the cli output.

Another thing to try is to monitor the serial data going from the radio
back to the PC and try to see if you can see any acknowledgement data
being transmitted by the radio.

I can see when the commands are given that there are no responses from the radio. Like I said I think there is a sequence missing, I believe there should be some control character that wakes up the radio for serial data, which is not being sent from app_rpt.c. I am running version 0.203 9/12/2009. Here is the output of the debug:

What version of app_rpt.c are you running?

I'm no the expert on the TM-271 code or its protocol, but after a brief
look, it seems to me like the code is attempting send a VF command
(which it should do) and is never receiving an acknowledge response from
the radio! This explains the 5 VF attempts seen in the capture as the
Kenwood retry count is set to 5 in the code. You should be able to
confirm this by going in to the Asterisk CLI and sending the CLI command:

rpt debug level 5

Then connect to the remote base and capture the cli output.

Another thing to try is to monitor the serial data going from the radio
back to the PC and try to see if you can see any acknowledgement data
being transmitted by the radio.

I have had a minor break through. I have found that if I type the string:
VF 0162550000,0,2,0,1,0,0,22,22,000,00600000,0,0
by hand the radio changes frequency. But if I paste the same exact string the radio does not change frequency. This makes me think that perhaps there is a buffer overflow on the radio. I have tried software flow control and it does not work. Nor does hardware flow control.

I also found that the com parameters need to be 9600 Baud, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit

I am not a c guy so I am not going to be able to work this one out. Any ideas??

I can see when the commands are given that there are no responses from the
radio. Like I said I think there is a sequence missing, I believe there
should be some control character that wakes up the radio for serial data,
which is not being sent from app_rpt.c. I am running version 0.203
9/12/2009. Here is the output of the debug:
