Robert, I am a member of the 210 reflector. I already know that the unit does not work with the Yaesu products. I sent them out there to Ken to try and the results were disappointing to say the least and in fact sent TWO models to him. But there still might be something else that will, which is why I asked. The most likely is the ICOM as their architecture is somewhat different. The ICOM 7000 is an even more likely candidate BUT that is an awfully expensive radio to stick in a rack at a repeater site. My interests with this were beyond the use of FM repeaters but that being said, unless you can access MEMORIES or have a method to change the PL on your linked radio ( whatever that radio is ) to allow input to various machines you want to access, you are limited to the PL used on your own transceiver. It's interesting. '73 Robert.

Mike, I have not. However if you do a search on http://groups.yahoo.com/group/rc210/, it might have an answer. Not sure if this is one of the groups that will let you search it, without being a member or not. (Great info from the users. I am sure that most all the controller makers have a support group like this.) From the manual this is what they show; Frequency Agile Radios Supported Kenwood - All model radios with a computer port to allow control of radio, such as TS-2000 Kenwood - mobiles TM-V7A, TM-G707, TM-271A, TM-471A Elecraft - All models with a computer port Yaesu - FT-817, FT-847, FT-857, FT-897, FT100D Icom - IC706MKIIg, IC-746, IC-756 Doug Hall RBI-1 Remote Base Radio Interface I am sure it is just how the radio maker allows the computer interface talk to the radio. Regardless what controller you use with it. Not sure if the TS-2000 would allow the same types of changes the other Kenwood mobiles do. In all fairness, other controllers may allow the changes of freq and pl tones...but the RC210 is what I am familiar with. It definitely gets a workout every Wednesday night (stoddard.homeip.net/slrn) and every SKYWARN activation here in Georgia. 73 and Good Luck with your search, Robert KD4YDC --- In [email protected] <mailto:Repeater-Builder%40yahoogroups.com> , "Michael Ryan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I wonder though, can these things be done with the FT-897 or the FT-100 or > 100D?
