Thank you!

One second, more strange, question:  whit a 1258MKIIs set used on a FT8900, having the radio body and the front panel connected through an internet connection, will it be possible to access to the radio using the RRC Nano app for Android?
I think that the 1258MKIIs connected to the radio body will have to generate an IP server, probably this server is reachable also by the various apps (like also  PocketRxTx).

If it is possible, will it be possible also to transmit while the X-RPT function is on, entering in the radio from a mobile app? Because with the radio, in normal condition, this is not possible. (When X-RPT function is active, PTT is disabled). So I was wondering if this could be possible because of the different way of controlling the radio.

Thank you for your help

Hello, I'm upping this topic because I think is quite complete for the Yaesu 8900.

I'd need to connect it to a remoterig set and put it in a house quite far from where I live, but in a good position.

Can I ask you if I'll have the complete control of the radio on the front panel at my house? I'd need to switch on/off the radio, change the frequency and set on/off the X-RPT function (cross band).

I've read that there are some flickering screen issues with this radio, which in my case would not be a huge problem. The main point is to be able to check the intensity of the received signal and do the above mentioned tasks.

Could it be a good choice, with the current firmwares and software versions? 

Thanks in advance for the help
