Thanks in advance.

Here is the thing....I don't believe the serial commands that worked for the HP-1 will work with the HP-2.
There was some discussion about adding them to the HP-2 and I believe it was on Paul's list at some point but I don't think it ever actually happened.
I could be wrong as it has been several years ago but that is what I remember from being a beta tester for the units.

Actually, i just got the the HomePatrol 1 Control Sample Program to work on a Win10 machine with my HP-2, So i believe the reference doc is right.

Ye really what i want to do is with Python just read the Status/Meta Data in realtime. But I am trying to get my head around this command structure :

RMT[¥t]STATUS[¥t][freq/tgid][¥t][mode][¥t][att][¥t][ctcss/dcs] [¥t][p25nac][¥t][svc_tag][¥t][name1][¥t][name2] [¥t][name3][¥t][sql][¥t][mute][¥t][sig_lev][¥t][name4][¥t][name5] [system_avoid][¥t] [department_avoid][¥t] [channel_avoid][¥t] [SUM][¥r]

Not sure my skill is up to that level. Perhaps someday. Does anyone know the significance of the Yen symbol before the ts and r?
