Hi.  I was hoping someone could lend me a hand configuring a pair of RFD900 radios.  I've really been striking out getting them to pair.  I've tried several 1.x firmwares, and the latest 2.3.

Using any of the 1.x firmware I can only retrieve settings from the local radio using the mission planner.  It doesn't mater which modem, they both respond to local AT commands.  (Side note: The mission planner is unable to retrieve any settings when I use the 2.3 firmware.  I've watched it in the terminal, and the modem will answer the escape sequence with OK, but mission planner keeps issuing +++. )

So, AT commands work on either modem, RT commands fail.  I've confirmed this using minicom.

Could someone please share their working config, or take a look at mine?  I would really appreciate it.  I've been hacking on this for too long.  The current led state is the base has a solid green, and the air radio is blinking green.

Here is my current config using 2.3
