Hi Mike - I've had no problems using an SM-100 Shackmaster (I have a couple of them) and the TS-440S. It's just that the SM-100 is good for what it's intended to do, but it's not a real "Repeater Controller" - it's more of a "Ham Shack" controller. I want to use the RC-85 to run a normal UHF Repeater, with the Remote Base port being the TS-440 HF Rig, which is what it was supposedly designed to do.
I've also used the Shackmaster with my ICOM IC-751A. It's just the TS-440 and and an RC-85 controller that I'm not able to get all the documentation on how to do. The TS-440 HF transceiver support was added to the RC-85 (and RC-96) starting with Version 5 firmware. But no one seems to know how to do it. It looks like when ACC got out of the Repeater Controller business, they just dropped everything completely. I've even tried writing a letter to the original company owner, with no response. No luck on the ACC mailing list, either, I try about once a year. I've also tried to find info from Link Comm, who took over some of the ACC support. Nothing. 73 and Happy New Year!
