I have an ID51a Plus2 that belongs to a club member. To program the ID51a Plus 2, I am using RT Systems ver 5.00.82 software using orange USB RTS-05 programming cable. To keep the system simple for testing, I have two laptops and two radios, a 91ad which has no issues, hits our local dstar repeater, can communicate via drats to others in town.? I have a 5100 too as I can use as an option, it works fine. When other people talk to me with voice on dstar, my IC92ad and ID5100 verbalize their call letters.? When I key up the 51, the other radios do not verbalize the call letters, don't know if this is a setting on the 51 somewhere.? Nor do I know if it's a real problem, just an observation. What works:? voice on dstar, either simplex or duplex via a dstar repeater.? What doesn't work, the units on the receiving end don't verbalize the call letters. When I click on ping all stations, the xmit light comes on, nothing comes back.? When xmitting, other radios display the 51's call letters and message in the radio display. What doesn't work:? when a message is sent from the 51 (drats), the xmit light goes on but no other drats pick up the message.? When other drats stations send a text message, the 51 the message does not make it to drats.? The 51 is receiving, it's s meter pegs and there is a message on the radio screen from the calling station. I've been through the 51's radio settings and don't see anything suspecious.?? I had a similiar problem a while back while setting up the 92ad.? I didn't know the baud rate absolutely had to be 38.5kb.? I was using 9600 and actually got some garbage on the screen, I said ah ha, that happens with the wrong baud rate.? I checked the specs and changed to 38.5 and it worked perfectly. The problem is as if the comms between the radio and the laptop is the problem.? The laptop runs win7, using a usb to rs-232 converter, common control chip, proper drivers.? I've used different cables which worked elsewhere. I wish I knew somebody else who had the same radio, or even had a RT Systems data file for this model I could try. Jim k6nra ??
