<----I hope you don't mind me answering here, as everyone can benefit from information, yes? When driven by the ACC FC-1 "format" serial stream, you do not get the fully functionality of the RBI-1 (I believe this is mentioned in their manual.) You'd need to read that in detail to see exactly what does and doesn't work when an RBI-1 is used with the FC-1 stream. AH6LE uses the FC-1 for his serial converter to drive the Kenwood G707. <----Not exactly<g>. My serial stream converter was designed to allow an ACC controller (or similar controller that provides the ACC FC-1 protocol) to control *some* of the functions in those Kenwood mobiles that allow control via DTMF injected into the mic port. While the G707 is one of those (as is the 732, V7A and some others), I didn't design the converter for any particular radio. With it, you can program frequency, PL freq, xmt offset and encode/decode select. And interjecting a shameless plug, our RC-210 will control these radios directly, without the need for an RBI-1 or any other converter. I'll let someone else provide the info on the capabilities of other controllers. That is what I am trying to do with my SCOM-7k. It uses the Doug Hall RBI-1 serial stream. Is this public? I need to make it fully frequency agile, PL agile, etc. <---All I can offer here is if you're not sure if the RBI-1 will control a G707, why not simply contact Doug Hall directly and ask? Then again as others have mentioned, maybe there's a way to use your 7K as it is. There are lots of knowledgeable folks on this list.
