Base answers but no data

If you get connected but there is no radio link there are two possible places that the problem could be.

  1. Base is not sending data to the rover
  2. Rover modem is not sending data to the receiver

Base not sending

Most modems, including cell phones, have an indication of it is sending data. On a extenral modem it a LED on a cell phone it will be on the display of the cell phone.

If the base is not sending you should check

  1. Cables, make sure that it is on the correct port
  2. Baud rate
  3. If using a receiver other than a 5700, flow control, could be a problem, in that the reciver is being told not to send data. Try turning off flow control.

Rover Modem not sending to the reciver

  • Check the cables
  • Check the baud rate
  • Make sure that the DTR line correct, this is the most likely problem
  • If the receiver is other than a 5700 check the flow control issues. Try turning off flow control.
