Remote Base Programming
The RC-210 is capable of controlling several different types of remotely controllable transceivers, for use as a remote base.
• Kenwood - All radios that utilize a computer interface that may be directly connected to an RS-232 compatible serial port.
• Icom models IC-706MKII and MKIIG
• Yaesu - FT-100D, FT-847, FT-817, FT-897
The RC-210 also supports the Doug Hall RBI-1 Remote Base Controller. Please refer to its respective manual when connecting the
RC-210. You select which radio type you want to use by programming:
*2083x where "x" is the radio type
1 = Kenwood
*For Kenwood radios that have a comport, the RC-210 uses a baud rate of 9600.
2 = Icom *The RC-210 expects to see an Icom radio at the CI-V address of 48H with the
3 = Yaesu baud rate set to 4800. Yaesu radios should be set to a 9600 baud rate.
4 = Kenwood V7 this supports the Kenwood TM-V7A and TM-G707
5 = Doug Hall RBI-1 *Selecting the RBI-1 enables additional features. See the Command Reference
If you select Yaesu, there is one more programming you must take (if not using Yaesu, you may disregard this step):
*2084x where "x" is
1 = FT-100D
2 = FT817, FT-847, FT-897
Remote Base Prefix
You can define a prefix that must be prepended to the remote base commands. This allows you to customize the codes required. If
changed from the factory default value of "A7", the new Remote Base Command codes must be prepended with the defined prefix
code. For example, if you change the Remote Base Prefix Code to "AB", a user would need to enter "A B 3 x " in order to change
modes.
*2060xxxx Define Remote Base Prefix Code - maximum 5 digits. If "0" is entered, any existing code is erased, thereby allowing the
factory default codes to be used.
Examples:
*2060 AB Define Remote Base Prefix to be "AB"
*2060 0 Erase Remote Base Prefix
