[arm-allstar] Frequency agile remote base

[Steve Smith]

I have two TM-V7A's with bad displays.  Rather than take the HAMLIB 
approach, I use a program called RCV7 that allows you to do some control 
of your TM-V7A using your PC and a USB to serial programming cable made 
for the TM-V7A. I built my own but they are available on ebay.  I just 
program the TM-V7A for the frequency, CTCSS power level, etc that I want 
and then turn the radio off and unplug the cable.  The TM-V7A remembers 
your settings when power is shut off.  I then plug my URI (in my case, 
that is a DINAH) to use the radio for Allstar.  I have placed a copy of 
the program in the Files folder of the DINAH group 
www.groups.io/g/dinah/files <www.groups.io/g/shari/files>.

>>Thank y’all for the response. The only reason is because I have a v7a with a faulty display and this would be perfect to get some use out of it. When I make the cable and all that good stuff will I have to basically build another node minus the simplex radio and then connect my current node to it to be able to controll it?
