Using HRD with one or more radios

Have been playing with the brain cells and figured out how to use HRD, RCForb with more than one radio.

Step 1
Open HRD and configure radio 1 (oh use HRD version 5 )eg IC-718

Step 2
Then run RCForb remote 1 and configure for radio 1 in HRD as per normal.
make it as default port 4525

'DO NOT PUBLISH or START remote at this time'

Step 3
Make new connection in HRD for radio 2 eg IC-706MkIIG

Step 4
Copy or expand your RCForb to a new folder, then open RCForb and configure for radio 2 in HRD.
Make it port 4524
again 'DO NOT PUBLISH or START remote at this time'

Now, you should 2 radios configured in HRD and 2 RCForb's open.

Step 5
Goto HRD and you will see that there are 2 tabs ontop of main screen click the first tab eg IC-718
Goto radio server tab in RCForb and click start.
In the console box it should say
Connecting to radio...
RadioServer()-Start()->Listerning on 0.0.0.0:4525
Then RCForb heading should be (IC-718) ORB by RemoteHams.com
If not then you have not clicked on the ic718 tab correctly.

Step 6
Now for 2nd radio
KEEP the first radio going.
Do Step 5, but this time you need to goto the radio 2 in HRD and the other RCForb.
Click Start look at console section and also the main heading
RadioServer()-Start()->Listerning on 0.0.0.0:4524
Then RCForb heading should be (IC-706MkIIG) ORB by RemoteHams.com

Okay, once all is right, goto Publish check enable Remote Open To:
Press the big Green and Yellow TICK icon to republish both radios.

If steps are made differently you may end up with 2 remotes on the same radio or none at all.
I will try to get a screen shot of what I have done here in the next few days.
Any problems drop me an email or reply to this topic.
