[App_rpt-users] Need a clarification -- please

[larry]

Mike,

I did not take anything wrong ... My intention was compliment you on 
answering with a full explanation when I failed to state my question 
properly.
I had overlooked that others might search this list for the information 
I was asking about. After noting your reply it dawned on me my poorly 
worded request might lead someone to believe that a plain *1, *2, *3 
would suffice as a full command rather than a full *328162 required for 
a tranceive mode connection to Node 28162.
Your answer clarified my oversight.  WELL DONE!

I also appreciate the heads up about the delay possibility you mention.
Things like that was part of the reason for my asking.  I will keep watch.

My main concern is the time delay switching to the tranceive mode on a 
monitored link.  Returning to the monitor only mode, transition time 
shouldn't be an issue.
Perhaps the monitor only macro should first disconnect then do a fresh 
reconnect process. Doing it that way should prevent duplicate processes 
from accumulating over time yet allow a single speedy tranceive 
transition to occur.

If I learn anything usefull I'll let you know.

Regards
Larry - N7FM
