Remote base missing commands

Just saw that maybe the remote base functions are back. I'll try later, possibly today. BUT there a function that has been omitted forever. That is mode (AM, FM, USB, LSB)
It was remote,6 and seem to recall it is "4= remote,6"
from the old source code:
SyntaxEditor Code Snippet

** remote cmds:
*

  • 1 - Recall Memory MM (*000-*099) (Gets memory from rpt.conf)
  • 2 - Set VFO MMMMMKKKO (Mhz digits, Khz digits, Offset)
  • 3 - Set Rx PL Tone HHHD
  • 4 - Set Tx PL Tone HHHD (Not currently implemented with DHE RBI-1)
  • 5 - Link Status (long)
  • 6 - Set operating mode M (FM, USB, LSB, AM, etc)

And if I'm remembering it correctly:
*61 - FM Mode
*62 - USB Mode
*63 - LSB Mode
*64 - AM Mode

I'd check the current source to confirm that this is still in there but the source code is very convoluted and not sure of what I'm looking at anymore

We recently migrated the "Remote Base Nodes" documentation from the WiKi ... but that's about all we've done. As for the remote base functions, the support that existed in ASL2 still exists in ASL3.

That’s fine and glad to see it back in. Last time I tried it in asl3 it didn’t work. But the bigger point I’m making is that the mode selection *6x isn’t in any current documentation nor is it in rpt.conf, but it is super important for anyone using it.

Thanks

First off, it looks like code exists that handles the remote,6 commands @ GitHub: app_rpt: rpt_functions.c.

Absolutely!

Here's my ask :

George, I think you are correct on that.

And of course there were a couple of issues remaining from ACID version.
(as far as I know, never remedied)

But the one in the DHI with tx tones, as I remember it, was an error in the publish specs that it was written to. I did manage to use it myself when I wrote a PC program for control.
(DOS)
I remember arguing the point with the folks at CAT about it in the 90's, but the exact specifics evade me.
I may hook mine up again and test it. Probably not a lot of folks with these anymore and I have 2 of them I used them to make-shift a dial-up repeater live between any two stations/repeaters on any band as long as I used low power. But with ASL we can split site them. Great ecom tool.

And there was an error on the selection of FM /fm

But those are the only 2 errors I remember.

What I also forget, is I think originally, there was a separate 'FUNCTIONS-REMOTE' separation of command sets.

Do you have that info on the original verbose of that?
I think my files are lying to me.
I am trying to reorganize my huge files to include remotes again.

Edit:
I believe I found it, but perhaps George has a different one.
In an old file from 2014 I used
link_functions=functions-remote

Yup, I see it in the source you sent. But it doesn't seem enabled, as per my post yesterday. I did generate an "issue" re: the mode select. Or...am I placing the remote entries in rpt.conf in the wrong place? This new rpt.conf has over complicated stuff.
