[App_rpt-users] Understanding ilink,9 usage

[Steve Zingman]

Leroy,
I was informed by Mike N4IRR that I did not understand your question. 
The txt message that arrives at 2100 my answer did not your question. 
The text message simply appears on the console if logged in. The 
receiving node does send a "double beep" to the transmitter like it has 
received a command. I can't find anything else. It may be possible to 
trigger something. Maybe someone else can comment.

Here is how the message is received at the console:

Message sent to 2100 from 2154: Private Text Message for 2100 From 2154: 
This is a test
Message sent to all connected nodes: Text Message From 2154: This is a test

Hope that helps.

73, Steve N4IRS
